寻找极端次矮星

Finding Extreme Subdwarfs

J. L. Marshall

摘要:

我开发了一种新的技术来识别M型极端次矮星(esdMs),并证明它是比以前的方法更有效。我首先获得光谱和改进测光的样品54晚型晕候选人使用rNLTT减少自行(RPM)图。从光谱学,我发现其中四个是esdMs,其中三个是以前未知的。从改进的测光,我表明,所有四个谎言在一个狭窄的RPM走廊,只包含4个非esdMs。因此,通过良好的光度测定(即,没有光谱学),似乎可以选择具有50%esdM产率的esdM候选物。这比以前的方法效率高出一个数量级以上。

英文摘要:

I develop a new technique to identify M-type extreme subdwarfs (esdMs) and demonstrate that it is substantially more efficient than previous methods. I begin by obtaining spectroscopy and improved photometry of a sample of 54 late-type halo candidates using the rNLTT reduced proper motion (RPM) diagram. From spectroscopy, I find that four of these are esdMs, three of which were previously unknown. From the improved photometry, I show that all four lie in a narrow RPM corridor that contains only 4 non-esdMs. Hence, with good photometry (i.e., without spectroscopy), it appears possible to select esdM candidates with a 50% esdM yield. This is more than an order of magnitude more efficient than previous methods.
