摘要:

我们提出了准确的新的紫外和光学BVI测光的银河系球状星团ngc 2808,基于地面和档案HST图像。我们从中选取了约2,000颗HB星的样本;考虑到广泛的波长范围以及高角分辨率和宽视场光度覆盖的组合,我们的样本应该有最小的偏差。我们将HB星分为三个径向仓,发现冷,热和极端HB星的相对分数从中心移动到集群的外围时,不会从根本上改变:差异通常小于~ 2西格玛。这些结果反对存在强烈的径向分化之间的任何恒星子群具有明显不同的氦丰度。当从星团的最里面到最外面移动时,比ZAHB亮的HB星和RG星之间的比例稳步增加。差异大于~ 4 sigma,表明星团外围缺乏明亮的RG。

英文摘要:

We present accurate new ultraviolet and optical BVI photometry for the Galactic globular cluster ngc2808, based on both ground-based and archival HST imagery. From this we have selected a sample of ~2,000 HB stars; given the extensive wavelength range considered and the combination of both high-angular-resolution and wide-field photometric coverage, our sample should be minimally biased. We divide the HB stars into three radial bins and find that the relative fractions of cool, hot and extreme HB stars do not change radically when moving from the center to the outskirts of the cluster: the difference is typically smaller than ~2sigma. These results argue against the presence of strong radial differentiation among any stellar subpopulations having distinctly different helium abundances. The ratio between HB and RG stars brighter than the ZAHB steadly increases when moving from the innermost to the outermost cluster regions. The difference is larger than ~4sigma and indicates a deficiency of bright RGs in the outskirts of the cluster.
