摘要:

研究了两个本星系群矮不规则星系的中龄渐近巨星分支恒星星族的近红外光谱特征。我们的工作基于J和K波段SOFI近红外测光,并辅以光学地基和HST测光。我们表明,近红外测光是一个非常强大的工具,碳星检测。我们在DDO 210中恢复了三颗已知碳星中的两颗,并在这个星系中发现了另外六个具有与碳巨星一致的光学和近红外颜色的物体。这使得DDO 210中真正的C星级候选人总数达到9人。我们在SagDIG中发现了大量的C星候选者,其中18个是以前在Demers & Battinelli(2002)和Cook(1987)中发现的,还有6个新的真正的碳星。我们提出了他们的光学和近红外颜色,并使用他们的光度函数的恒星形成历史(SFH)的约束,在这个矮不规则星系。

英文摘要:

We investigate the intermediate-age asymptotic giant branch stellar population of two Local Group dwarf irregular galaxies to characterize their carbon star population in near-infrared (IR). Our work is based on J and K-band SOFI near-IR photometry complemented with optical ground based and HST photometry. We show that near-IR photometry is a very powerful tool for carbon star detection. We recovered two out of three previously-known carbon stars in DDO 210 and discovered six additional objects in this galaxy which have optical and near-IR colors consistent with carbon giants. This brings the total number of bona-fide C-star candidates in DDO 210 to nine. We detected a large population of C-star candidates in SagDIG, 18 of which were previously identified in Demers & Battinelli (2002) and Cook (1987), and six new bona-fide carbon stars. We present their optical and near-IR colors and use their luminosity function to put constraints on the star formation history (SFH) in this dwarf irregular galaxy.
