摘要:

我们目前的光谱观测的一个巨大的球状星团的矮不规则星系六分仪B,我们发现的哈勃太空望远镜宽视场和行星相机2(HST WFPC 2)的图像。长缝光谱是用俄罗斯科学院特殊天体物理观测站6米望远镜上的SCORPIO摄谱仪获得的。我们确定了该球状星团的年龄、金属丰度和α元素丰度比分别为$ 2 \pm 1$ Gyr、$-1.35 \pm 0.25$ dex和$ 0.1 \pm 0.1$ dex。利用我们的表面光度学方法,在HST图像上测定了它的主要光度参数和结构参数。质量($\sim 10^5 M \sun$),光度和结构参数似乎是典型的球状星团在我们自己的银河系。我们的发现为六分仪B的进化史提供了新的线索。

英文摘要:

We present spectroscopic observations of a massive globular cluster in the dwarf irregular galaxy Sextans B, discovered by us on Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (HST WFPC2) images. Long-slit spectra were obtained with the SCORPIO spectrograph on the the 6-m telescope at the Special Astrophysical observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. We determine age, metallicity and alpha-element abundance ratio for the globular cluster to be $ 2 \pm 1$ Gyr, $-1.35 \pm 0.25$ dex, and $ 0.1 \pm 0.1$ dex, respectively. Main photometric and structural parameters of it were determined using our surface photometry on the HST images. The mass ($\sim 10^5 M \sun$), luminosity and structural parameters appear to be typical for the globular clusters in our own Galaxy. Our findings shed a new light on the evolutionary history of Sextans B.
