大型双筒望远镜的初步结果:新dSphs的深测光

First Results From the Large Binocular Telescope: Deep Photometry of New dSphs

Matthew G. Coleman, Jelte de Jong

摘要:

这篇文章描述了用大双筒望远镜获得的~25.5星等的两个银河系dSphs的测光。使用大型双目相机,一个专门为LBT建造的宽视场成像仪,我们已经研究了两个新发现的本星系群成员,武仙座dSph和狮子座T dSph/dIrr系统的结构和恒星形成历史。我们用三滤光片测光法绘制了V ~ 25.5的武仙座系统的结构图。这是该系统的第一次深层测光,它表明武仙座是不寻常的拉长,可能表明由于银河系潮汐场的扭曲。我们还推导了Leo T系统的第一个恒星形成历史,发现其最古老的恒星(年龄~ 13 Gyr)相对富含金属,[Fe/H] ~-1.5。

英文摘要:

This contribution describes photometry for two Galactic dSphs obtained with the Large Binocular Telescope to a magnitude of ~25.5. Using the Large Binocular Camera, a purpose-built wide-field imager for the LBT, we have examined the structure and star formation histories of two newly-discovered Local Group members, the Hercules dSph and the Leo T dSph/dIrr system. We have constructed a structural map for the Hercules system using three-filter photometry to V ~ 25.5. This is the first deep photometry for this system, and it indicates that Hercules is unusually elongated, possibly indicating distortion due to the Galactic tidal field. We have also derived the first star formation history for the Leo T system, and find that its oldest population of stars (age ~ 13 Gyr) were relatively metal-rich, with [Fe/H] ~ -1.5.
