包括麒麟座星流新候选成员在内的五个疏散星团的金属丰度和径向速度

Metallicities and Radial Velocities of Five Open Clusters Including a New Candidate Member of the Monoceros Stream

Steven R. Warren, Andrew A. Cole

摘要:

本文给出了10个银河系疏散星团和2个银河系球状星团中133颗红巨星的近红外光谱,它们的金属量跨度为2.2 dex,年龄跨度为11 Gyr。我们结合这个样本与10个集群科尔和合作者调查的钙II三线强度和它们的关系集群金属丰度和位置沿红巨星分支。我们表明,表征恒星表面重力使用Ks波段测光(相对于水平分支)从两微米全天巡天允许金属丰度测量至少一样精确的V或I波段数据。这有一个很大的优点,即可以对大量的星团进行统一的测光和可靠的天体测量。使用Ks波段测光也减少了在一个给定的集群内的差异红化的影响。我们没有发现显着的证据年龄或金属量的影响,线性钙II三重态金属量的关系在小范围内的幅度研究时,使用均匀的参考金属量。我们获得了五个疏散星团:Berkeley 81,Berkeley 99,IC 1311,King 2和NGC 7044的第一个光谱金属丰度和新的径向速度估计。国王2有一个异常的径向速度相比,当地的磁盘人口。我们讨论了它是独角兽潮汐流的一部分的可能性。

英文摘要:

Near infrared spectra of 133 red giant stars from ten Galactic open clusters and two Galactic globular clusters spanning 2.2 dex in metallicity and 11 Gyr in age are presented. We combine this sample with ten clusters from Cole and collaborators to investigate the Ca II triplet line strengths and their relation to cluster metallicity and position along the red giant branch. We show that characterizing the stellar surface gravity using Ks band photometry (relative to the horizontal branch) taken from the Two Micron All-Sky Survey allows for metallicity measurements at least as precise as those derived using V or I band data. This has the great advantage that uniform photometry and reliable astrometry is available for a large number of clusters. Using Ks band photometry also reduces the effect of differential reddening within a given cluster. We find no significant evidence for age or metallicity effects to the linear Ca II triplet - metallicity relationship over the small range in magnitudes studied when homogeneous reference metallicities are used. We derive the first spectroscopic metallicity and new radial velocity estimates for five open clusters: Berkeley 81, Berkeley 99, IC 1311, King 2, and NGC 7044. King 2 has an anomalous radial velocity compared with the local disk population. We discuss the possibility that it is part of the Monoceros tidal stream.
