FSR1767 --银河系中一个新的球状星团

FSR1767 - a new globular cluster in the Galaxy

Charles Bonatto, Eduardo Bica, Sergio Ortolani, Beatriz Barbuy

摘要:

在目前的工作中建立了最近编目的候选FSR 1767的球状星团(GC)性质。它是迄今为止在银河系中探测到的最接近的GC。利用2 MASS色星等图(CMD)、恒星径向密度剖面(RDP)和自行(PM)研究了该天体的性质。这些性质与中间金属丰度($\feh\approx-1.2$)GC一致,具有明确的关闭(TO),红巨星分支(RGB)和蓝色水平分支(HB)。FSR 1767与太阳的距离是$\ds\approx1.5$ kpc,它位于银心距离$\rgc\approx5.7$ kpc。从空间速度分量$(V,W)=(184\pm14,-43\pm14)\rm km s^{-1}$来看,FSR 1767似乎是一个具有$\mv\approx-4.7$的Palomar型GC,目前位于银河平面之下的$\approx57$ pc。RDP是很好的代表国王的配置文件与核心和潮汐半径$\rc=0.24\pm0.08$ pc和$\rt=3.1\pm1.0$ pc,分别与一个小的半光半径$\rh=0.60\pm0.15$ pc。对于红外GC,$A_V=6.2\pm0.3$,光吸收是中等的,这与其中心方向和增强的污染一起解释了为什么它迄今为止被忽视。

英文摘要:

The globular cluster (GC) nature of the recently catalogued candidate FSR 1767 is established in the present work. It results as the closest GC so far detected in the Galaxy. The nature of this object is investigated by means of 2MASS colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs), the stellar radial density profile (RDP) and proper-motions (PM). The properties are consistent with an intermediate metallicity ($\feh\approx-1.2$) GC with a well-defined turnoff (TO), red-giant branch (RGB) and blue horizontal-branch (HB). The distance of FSR 1767 from the Sun is $\ds\approx1.5$ kpc, and it is located at the Galactocentric distance $\rgc\approx5.7$ kpc. With the space velocity components $(V,W)=(184\pm14,-43\pm14)\rm km s^{-1}$, FSR 1767 appears to be a Palomar-like GC with $\mv\approx-4.7$, that currently lies $\approx57$ pc below the Galactic plane. The RDP is well represented by a King profile with the core and tidal radii $\rc=0.24\pm0.08$ pc and $\rt=3.1\pm1.0$ pc, respectively, with a small half-light radius $\rh=0.60\pm0.15$ pc. The optical absorption is moderate for an infrared GC, $A_V=6.2\pm0.3$, which together with its central direction and enhanced contamination explains why it has so far been overlooked.
