A Study of the Abundance Distributions Along the Minor Axis of the Galactic Bulge

Tyson, Neil Degrasse

Abstract

I present abundance distribution functions for fields along the minor axis of the Galactic bulge based on CCD photometric observations toward seven windows of low extinction. Abundance distribution functions are the most useful form of data to constrain models of the star formation and the chemical enrichment of the bulge. By using the recently-calibrated Washington photometric filter system, the distribution function in (Fe/H) is determined for each field, and consequently I derive the abundance gradient for the bulge. To supplement these observations I analyzed, from medium dispersion spectra, line strengths of the 33 known bulge carbon stars. The radial velocities of these carbons stars and of 39 bulge RR Lyrae variables is also presented. Within 8 degrees of the Galactic center ( ~1 kpc) there appears to be no appreciable gradient in the distribution of (Fe/H), which is consistent with a dissipationless collapse, and/or sufficient mixing during the star-forming epoch when Fe was produced in the bulge. The mean abundance over this region is between two and five times solar. The form of these distributions is well-fitted by the simple (closed box) model of chemical evolution where the bulge is self-enriched by processing its original gas content to completion. This result carries two direct implications: (1) the inner bulge was not significantly enriched by infall (of any heavy element abundance) from the halo or the disk, (2) the inner bulge underwent no catastrophic mass-loss from supernova-driven winds or any other mechanism. These scenarios would produce a different signature in the abundance distributions. Beyond 8 degrees from the Galactic center, the mean of the abundance distribution drops precipitously with an abundance gradient of -0.2 dex/degree in (Fe/H). This is consistent with the notion that the inner bulge is chemically distinct from the halo while the transition region is a blending of the two. It may be possible to use kinematics to disentangle the two populations via a radial velocity survey.

The thesis has been cited 0 times, and the journal article he wrote based on it has been cited only 3 times in the 29 years since it’s been published. That’s unbelievably low impact work, like we’re talking ¡Jeb!-level low energy, sad.

The Rubik’s cube puzzle hit the U.S. market in 1980. When Tyson got his hands on one, he could concentrate on nothing else until he solved it. He didn’t leave the couch of his Austin apartment for a week. “I may have stopped to sleep,” he laughs. “Food and basic hygiene were forgotten.”

Astronomy professor Craig Wheeler remembers Tyson: “Research was not his strength. He was never going to solve any major scientific problems. But I knew he was going to do something big, because he had charisma. He’s warm and funny, but he also has serious backbone, ambition, confidence—and that’s taken him far.”

In 1994, engineers at Apple Computer code-named the Power Macintosh 7100 "Carl Sagan" in the hope that Apple would make "billions and billions" with the sale of the PowerMac 7100.[9] The name was only used internally, but Sagan was concerned that it would become a product endorsement and sent Apple a cease-and-desist letter. Apple complied, but engineers retaliated by changing the internal codename to "BHA" for "Butt-Head Astronomer".[101][102] Sagan then sued Apple for libel in federal court. The court granted Apple's motion to dismiss Sagan's claims and opined in dicta that a reader aware of the context would understand Apple was "clearly attempting to retaliate in a humorous and satirical way", and that "It strains reason to conclude that Defendant was attempting to criticize Plaintiff's reputation or competency as an astronomer. One does not seriously attack the expertise of a scientist using the undefined phrase 'butt-head'."[101][103] Sagan then sued for Apple's original use of his name and likeness, but again lost.[104] Sagan appealed the ruling.[104] In November 1995, an out-of-court settlement was reached and Apple's office of trademarks and patents released a conciliatory statement that "Apple has always had great respect for Dr. Sagan. It was never Apple's intention to cause Dr. Sagan or his family any embarrassment or concern."[105] Apple's third and final code name for the project was "LAW", short for "Lawyers are Wimps".[102]
