Are the Bulge C-stars related to the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy? II. Metallicity -- a link with the Galactic disc
Ng, Y. K.
Original · EN
The photometric estimate of the metallicity and the age of the Azzopardi et al. (1991, A&AS 88, 265) carbon stars (Ng 1997, A&A 328, 211) is revised to respectively Z 0.004 and 0.1 Gyr. Under the hypothesis that the carbon stars are located at a distance related to the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, the broad velocity dispersion of the stars can only be explained if they were formed out of Galactic material during a recent crossing of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy through the Galactic plane.
