英文摘要 | We study the metallicity distribution and kinematic properties of 4680 A/F/G/K-type giant stars with vertical bar z vertical bar> 5 kpc selected from the LAMOST spectroscopic survey. The metallicity distribution of giant stars with 5 < vertical bar z vertical bar <= 15 kpc can be described by a three-peak Gaussian model with peaks at [Fe/H] similar to -0.6 +/- 0.1, -1.2 +/- 0.3 and -2.0 +/- 0.2, corresponding to the ratio of 19%, 74%, and 7%, respectively. The [alpha/Fe] is used to associate the three peaks with the thick-disk, inner-halo and outer-halo components of the Galaxy. The metallicity distribution of these giant stars, which is fit with Gaussians corresponding to the three components, show a growing fraction of inner-halo components and declining fraction of the thick-disk components with increasing distance from the Galactic plane. Adopting a galaxy potential model, we also derive the orbital parameters of the sample stars, such as orbit eccentricity and rotation velocity. The peak values of derived orbital eccentricity for stars covering different metallicity regions maintain e similar to 0.75, independent of height above the plane, within the range 5 < vertical bar z vertical bar< 15 kpc. By comparing the MDFs of stars in different rotation velocity intervals, we find that the majority of the retrograde stars are more metal-poor than the prograde stars. |
