反中心老疏散星团NGC 1883:径向速度和金属丰度

The anticenter old open cluster NGC 1883: radial velocity and metallicity

Sandro Villanova, Gustavo Baume, Giovanni Carraro

摘要:

在对中等年龄的疏散星团NGC 1883(Carraro et al. 2003)进行首次光度学研究之后,本文首次对同一星团中的一个演化恒星样本进行了多历元光谱学研究。目的是推导出星系团的成员资格、速度和金属丰度,并讨论最近文献(Tadross 2005)中关于NGC 1883和Halo中的球状星团一样缺乏金属的说法。此外,作为迄今为止已知的为数不多的银河系外盘中期疏散星团之一,它是提高我们对银河系盘径向丰度梯度知识的理想目标,而径向丰度梯度是银河系任何化学演化模型的基本组成部分。我们获得的新数据使我们能够使NGC 1883的基本参数更加可靠。我们发现该星系团的平均金属丰度为[Fe/H] = -0.20 $\pm$ 0.22,由此推断其年龄(650 $^{+70}_{-70}$ Myr)接近毕宿一,银心距为12.3 $^{+0.4}_{-0.2}$ kpc。NGC 1883的金属丰度、运动学和位置使其成为一个真正的外盘中期疏散星团。我们证实,在银河系外盘的丰度梯度是浅比在太阳附近。

英文摘要:

Having already reported on the first photometric study of the intermediate-age open cluster NGC 1883 (Carraro et al. 2003), we present in this paper the first spectroscopic multi-epoch investigation of a sample of evolved stars in the same cluster. The aim is to derive the cluster membership, velocity and metallicity, and discuss recent claims in the literature (Tadross 2005) that NGC 1883 is as metal poor as globular clusters in the Halo. Besides, being one of the few outer Galactic disk intermediate-age open clusters known so far, it is an ideal target to improve our knowledge of the Galactic disk radial abundance gradient, that is a basic ingredient for any chemical evolution model of the Milky Way. The new data we obtained allow us to put NGC 1883's basic parameters more reliable. We find that the cluster has a mean metallicity of [Fe/H] = -0.20$\pm$0.22, from which we infer an age (650$^{+70}_{-70}$ Myr) close to the Hyades one and a Galactocentric distance of 12.3$^{+0.4}_{-0.2}$ kpc. The metal abundance, kinematics, and position make NGC 1883 a genuine outer disk intermediate-age open cluster. We confirm that in the outer Galactic disk the abundance gradient is shallower than in the solar vicinity.
