A spectroscopic map of the Galactic centre: Observations and resolved stars

Context. The Galactic centre (GC) region contains a dense accumulation of stars that can be separated into two components: a mildly flattened and extremely dense nuclear star cluster (NSC) and a surrounding more extended and more flattened nuclear stellar disc (NSD). Previous studies have collected...

Descripción
Sumario:Context. The Galactic centre (GC) region contains a dense accumulation of stars that can be separated into two components: a mildly flattened and extremely dense nuclear star cluster (NSC) and a surrounding more extended and more flattened nuclear stellar disc (NSD). Previous studies have collected a few thousand spectra of the inner NSC and the outer NSD and have measured line-of-sight velocities and metallicities. Until now, such measurements exist only for a few hundred stars in the region where the stellar surface density transitions from being dominated by the NSC to being dominated by the NSD.
