对M31的磁盘群集数量的HST调查。II。ACS指向

An HST Survey of the Disk Cluster Population of M31. II. ACS Pointings

O. K. Krienke, Paul W. Hodge

摘要:

本文报道了一个调查的星团在M31的基础上档案图像从哈勃太空望远镜。论文I(Krienke和Hodge,2007年)报告了使用宽视场/行星照相机2(WFPC 2)获得的图像结果,本文报告了高级巡天照相机(ACS)的结果。ACS的调查总共产生了339个星团。星团的颜色积分星等图显示了三个显著的特征:(1)一组非常红的发光天体:球状星团,(2)较暗星团的颜色范围很广,代表了相当大的年龄和变红范围,(3)中等年龄的最大密度,年龄接近5亿年,质量约为2000个太阳质量的中等质量星团。我们给出了一个简要的定性解释集群的分布在CMD的形成和破坏率。

英文摘要:

This paper reports on a survey of star clusters in M31 based on archival images from the Hubble Space Telescope. Paper I (Krienke and Hodge 2007) reported results from images obtained with the Wide Field/Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) and this paper reports results from the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). The ACS survey has yielded a total of 339 star clusters. The color- integrated magnitude diagram of clusters shows three significant features: (1) a group of very red, luminous objects: the globular clusters, (2) a wide range in color for the fainter clusters, representing a considerable range in age and reddening, and (3) a maximum density of intermediate-age, intermediate-mass clusters with ages close to 500 million years and masses of about 2000 solar masses. We give a brief qualitative interpretation of the distribution of clusters in the CMDs in terms of their formation and destruction rates.
