摘要:

我们已经测试了应用程序的软件包匹配斯隆数字巡天数据,它适合色星等图(CMD)估计恒星星族参数和距离。在一组六个球状星团上的测试表明,这些技术恢复了它们的已知性质。使用CMD拟合软件的新方法使我们能够处理沿着视线的恒星分布,限制人口稀少的物体的整体属性,并在广域调查中检测恒星过密度的存在。然后,我们也适用于匹配的CMD最近发现的12个银河系卫星,以统一的方式获得他们的距离,年龄和金属丰度。虽然它们中的大多数看起来与单一的恒星星族一致,但CVn I,Uma II和Leo T(仅从SDSS数据来看)表现出更复杂的历史,具有多个恒星形成时期。

英文摘要:

We have tested the application to Sloan Digital Sky Survey data of the software package MATCH, which fits color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) to estimate stellar population parameters and distances. These tests on a set of six globular clusters show that these techniques recover their known properties. New ways of using the CMD-fitting software enable us to deal with an extended distribution of stars along the line-of-sight, to constrain the overall properties of sparsely populated objects, and to detect the presence of stellar overdensities in wide-area surveys. We then also apply MATCH to CMDs for twelve recently discovered Milky Way satellites to derive in a uniform fashion their distances, ages and metallicities. While the majority of them appear consistent with a single stellar population, CVn I, UMa II, and Leo T exhibit (from SDSS data alone) a more complex history with multiple epochs of star formation.
