南洋杉计划从RR天琴座星的红外光度测量到玉夫座矮球状星系的距离
The Araucaria Project. The Distance to the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy from infrared photometry of RR Lyrae stars
摘要:
我们已经获得了在J和K波段的一个样本的78个RR天琴座星在玉夫座dSph星系的单相近红外星等。应用不同的理论和经验校准的周期光度金属丰度关系的RR天琴座恒星在红外线,我们发现一致的结果,并获得一个真正的,红化校正的距离模数为19.67 $\pm$ 0.02(统计)$\pm$ 0.12(系统)等的玉夫座从我们的数据。这个距离值与我们从早期的玉夫座RR型天琴座星V波段数据和Sandage(1993)的V星等-金属度刻度得到的19.68 $\pm$ 0.08等的值一致。这也与Rizzi(2002)基于红巨星分支(TRGB,19.64 $\pm$ 0.08等)和水平分支(HB,19.66 $\pm$ 0.15等)尖端获得的结果非常一致。
英文摘要:
We have obtained single-phase near-infrared magnitudes in the J and K bands for a sample of 78 RR Lyrae stars in the Sculptor dSph galaxy. Applying different theoretical and empirical calibrations of the period-luminosity-metallicity relation for RR Lyrae stars in the infrared, we find consistent results and obtain a true, reddening-corrected distance modulus of 19.67 $\pm$ 0.02 (statistical) $\pm$ 0.12 (systematic) mag for Sculptor from our data. This distance value is consistent with the value of 19.68 $\pm$ 0.08 mag which we obtain from earlier V-band data of RR Lyrae stars in Sculptor, and the V magnitude-metallicity calibration of Sandage (1993). It is also in a very good agreement with the results obtain by Rizzi (2002) based on tip of the red giant branch (TRGB, 19.64 $\pm$ 0.08 mag) and horizontal branch (HB, 19.66 $\pm$ 0.15 mag).
