摘要:

通过结合高分辨率HST和宽视场地面观测,在紫外和光学波段,我们研究了银河系球状星团M5(NGC 5904)的蓝色离散星(BSS)人口从它的非常中心的区域到它的边缘。BSS分布在集群中心达到高峰,在中间半径处减小,向外再次上升。这种双峰分布与以前在其他球状星团(M3,47 Tuccott,NGC 6752)中观察到的相似。对于这些星团,动力学模拟表明,虽然M5中的大部分BSS可能起源于恒星碰撞,但原始双星中质量转移过程产生的BSS中有很大一部分(20-40%)需要重现观测到的径向分布。一个候选BSS已被检测到超出集群潮汐半径。如果得到证实,这可能是一个有趣的“蒸发”BSS案例。

英文摘要:

By combining high-resolution HST and wide-field ground based observations, in ultraviolet and optical bands, we study the Blue Stragglers Star (BSS) population of the galactic globular cluster M5 (NGC 5904) from its very central regions up to its periphery. The BSS distribution is highly peaked in the cluster center, decreases at intermediate radii and rises again outward. Such a bimodal distribution is similar to those previously observed in other globular clusters (M3, 47Tucanae, NGC6752). As for these clusters, dynamical simulations suggest that, while the majority of BSS in M5 could be originated by stellar collisions, a significant fraction (20-40%) of BSS generated by mass transfer processes in primordial binaries is required to reproduce the observed radial distribution. A candidate BSS has been detected beyond the cluster tidal radius. If confirmed, this could represent an interesting case of an "evaporating" BSS.
