CHRONOGRAPHY OF THE MILKY WAY’S HALO SYSTEM WITH FIELD BLUE HORIZONTAL-BRANCH STARS
Santucci, Rafael M.,Beers, Timothy C.,Placco, Vinicius M.,Carollo, Daniela,Rossi, Silvia,Lee, Young Sun,Denissenkov, Pavel,Tumlinson, Jason,Tissera, Patricia B. IOP Publishing 2015 ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS - Vol.813 No.1
<P>In a pioneering effort, Preston et al. reported that the colors of blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars in the halo of the Galaxy shift with distance, from regions near the Galactic center to about 12 kpc away, and interpreted this as a correlated variation in the ages of halo stars, from older to younger, spanning a range of a few Gyrs. We have applied this approach to a sample of some 4700 spectroscopically confirmed BHB stars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to produce the first 'chronographic map' of the halo of the Galaxy. We demonstrate that the mean de-reddened g - r color, <(g - r)(0)>, increases outward in the Galaxy from -0.22 to -0.08 (over a color window spanning [-0.3: 0.0]) from regions close to the Galactic center to similar to 40 kpc, independent of the metallicity of the stars. Models of the expected shift in the color of the field BHB stars based on modern stellar evolutionary codes confirm that this color gradient can be associated with an age difference of roughly 2-2.5 Gyr, with the oldest stars concentrated in the central similar to 15 kpc of the Galaxy. Within this central region, the age difference spans a mean color range of about 0.05 mag (similar to 0.8 Gyr). Furthermore, we show that chronographic maps can be used to identify individual substructures, such as the Sagittarius Stream, and overdensities in the direction of Virgo and Monoceros, based on the observed contrast in their mean BHB colors with respect to the foreground/background field population.</P>
