M4中白矮星冷却序列的结束:一种有效的方法
The End of the White Dwarf Cooling Sequence in M4: an efficient approach
摘要:
我们使用14个轨道的ACS观测,以达到在球状星团M4的白矮星冷却序列的结束。我们的测光和完整性测试表明,它的末端位于m_F606W = 28.5+/-0.1等,这意味着它的年龄为11.6+/-0.6 Gyr(仅内部误差)。这与从拟合到主序列关闭的年龄一致(12.0+/-1.4 Gyr)。
英文摘要:
We use 14 orbits of ACS observations to reach the end of the white-dwarf cooling sequence in the globular cluster M4. Our photometry and completeness tests show that the end is located at magnitude m_F606W = 28.5+/-0.1, which implies an age of 11.6+/-0.6 Gyr (internal errors only). This is consistent with the age from fits to the main sequence turn-off (12.0+/-1.4 Gyr).
