摘要:

ACS银河系球状星团巡天是HST财政部的一个项目,将提供65个球状星团的高质量、均匀的测光。本文介绍了一组新的适用于分析ACS巡天数据的恒星演化轨迹和等时线。恒星演化模型的计算条件为:[Fe/H]=-2.5、-2.0、-1.5、-1.0、-0.5和0; [alpha/Fe]=-0.2、0、0.2、0.4、0.6和0.8;三种初始He丰度,质量从0.1到1.8 Msun,年龄从2到15 Gyr。每个等时线的亮度范围很广,从Mv~14一直到红巨星分支的顶端。这些都是由一组氦燃烧的轨道,从零年龄水平分支的渐近巨分支上的热脉动的发病延伸。此外,一组计算机程序提供,使之有可能内插的等时线[Fe/H],从等时线产生的光度函数,并创建合成的水平分支模型。轨道和等时线已经用两种不同的色Teff变换转换到观测平面,一种是合成的,一种是半经验的,在地基B、V和I中,以及F606 W和F814 W用于ACS-WFC和WFPC 2系统。本文中介绍的所有模型和程序均可从http://stellar.dartmouth.edu/~models/获得

英文摘要:

The ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters, an HST Treasury Project, will deliver high quality, homogeneous photometry of 65 globular clusters. This paper introduces a new collection of stellar evolution tracks and isochrones suitable for analyzing the ACS Survey data. Stellar evolution models were computed at [Fe/H]= -2.5, -2.0, -1.5, -1.0, -0.5, and 0; [alpha/Fe]= -0.2, 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8; and three initial He abundances for masses from 0.1 to 1.8 Msun and ages from 2 to 15 Gyr. Each isochrone spans a wide range in luminosity from Mv~14 up to the tip of the red giant branch. These are complemented by a set of He-burning tracks that extend from the zero age horizontal branch to the onset of thermal pulsations on the asymptotic giant branch. In addition, a set of computer programs are provided that make it possible to interpolate the isochrones in [Fe/H], generate luminosity functions from the isochrones, and create synthetic horizontal branch models. The tracks and isochrones have been converted to the observational plane with two different color-Teff transformations, one synthetic and one semi-empirical, in ground-based B, V, and I, and F606W and F814W for both ACS-WFC and WFPC2 systems. All models and programs presented in this paper are available from http://stellar.dartmouth.edu/~models/
