We introduce a novel method that utilizes the longitude–velocity (lv) envelope to constrain the Milky Way (MW) bar potential. Previous work used the lv diagram to explain the distribution of the observed high-velocity stars. We successfully reproduce their results but find that their method is limited to only one type of periodic orbits. In contrast, we propose that the lv envelope provides much more comprehensive constraints. We compare the properties of test particles in the M. Portail et al. MW potential model (P17) with the observed SiO maser stars from the Bulge Asymmetries and Dynamical Evolution (BAaDE) survey. We find that the lv envelope generated by the bar potential demonstrates reasonable agreement with the observational data, albeit with slight discrepancies near the Galactic center. The inconsistencies suggest that the P17 potential yields a lower central rotation curve, a slightly larger quadrupole strength, or a possibly underestimated pattern speed. We also adopt an updated version of the P17 potential with a modified central mass component proposed by G. H. Hunter et al. (H24). The fitting of the lv envelope suggests that the H24 potential does not completely address the existing challenges and may hint at a possible underestimation of the central bar mass. Our study demonstrates that the lv envelope can be used as a valuable tool for constraining the Galactic potential and provides insights into the MW bar potential.

BAaDE 巡天 中受 SiO Maser 星运动学约束的银河系棒势



我们介绍了一种利用经度-速度 (l − v) 包络线来约束银河系 (MW) 棒电位的新方法。以前的工作使用 l − v 图来解释观测到的高速恒星的分布。我们成功地再现了他们的结果,但发现他们的方法仅限于一种类型的周期性轨道。相比之下,我们提出 l − v 包络提供了更全面的约束。我们将 M. Portail 等人的 MW 电位模型 (P17) 中测试粒子的特性与凸起不对称和动力学演化 (BAaDE) 调查中观察到的 SiO maser 星进行了比较。我们发现,条形势产生的 l − v 包络线与观测数据具有合理的一致性,尽管在银河系中心附近存在细微差异。不一致表明 P17 电位产生较低的中心旋转曲线、略大的四极强度或可能被低估的模式速度。我们还采用了 P17 电位的更新版本,其中包含 G. H. Hunter 等人 (H24) 提出的改进的中心质量分量。l − v 包络线的拟合表明 H24 电位并不能完全解决现有的挑战,并且可能暗示可能低估了中心杆质量。我们的研究表明,l − v 包络可以用作约束银河系电位的宝贵工具,并提供对 MW 棒电位的见解。
