摘要:

从UKIRT获得了M33的新的宽场近红外成像观测。这些数据显示,大量的中年恒星比以前的近红外数据有了很大的改善。研究了由近红外色星等图(CMD)区分的超巨星、富碳(富C星或C星)和富氧(富O星或M星)渐近巨星分支(AGB)星的空间分布以及C/M比。KS星等分布已被解释使用理论模型,以获得平均年龄和平均金属丰度横跨M33。

英文摘要:

New wide-field near-infrared (NIR) imaging observations of M33 were obtained from UKIRT. These show a large population of intermediate-age stars considerably improving on previous NIR data. The spatial distribution of super giant stars, carbon-rich (C-rich or C stars) and oxygen-rich (O-rich or M stars) asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars distinguished from the NIR colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) have been studied as well as the C/M ratio. The Ks magnitude distribution has been interpreted using theoretical models to derive the mean age and the mean metallicity across M33.
