摘要:

内容:确定大质量恒星的参数对于理解星系和宇宙中的许多过程至关重要,因为这些物体是电离,化学浓缩和动量的重要来源。10米级望远镜使我们能够对其他星系中的大质量恒星进行详细的定量光谱分析,对不同金属丰度的区域进行采样。将恒星与它们的环境联系起来,对于理解支配它们形成和演化的物理过程至关重要。目的:在GTC的准备工作中,我们的目标是建立一个贫金属不规则星系IC 1613中大质量恒星候选者的目录,具有高天体测量精度,适用于当前一代的多目标光谱仪。还需要对这个星系中的OB星协进行普查,以提供关于候选OB星的年龄和环境的重要补充信息。方法:根据INT-WFC的观测数据,我们建立了IC 1613的天体测量和光度星表。候选的蓝色大质量恒星是从它们的颜色中预选出来的。一个朋友的朋友算法的开发,以找到他们在银河系中的集群。虽然不能确保协会所有成员的共同物理起源,但这是将候选OB明星置于人口背景下的必要的第一步。结果:我们在IC 1613中产生了一个覆盖大视场的深度目标目录。为了达到高的天体测量精度,一个新的天体测量程序开发的INT-WFC数据。我们还在IC 1613中建立了OB协会目录。我们发现,它们集中在中心区域,特别是在HII泡。对消光的研究证实,它是斑块状的,局部的颜色过剩值高于前景值。

英文摘要:

Context: Determining the parameters of massive stars is crucial to understand many processes in galaxies and the Universe, since these objects are important sources of ionization, chemical enrichment and momentum. 10m class telescopes enable us to perform detailed quantitative spectroscopic analyses of massive stars in other galaxies, sampling areas of different metallicity. Relating the stars to their environment is crucial to understand the physical processes ruling their formation and evolution. Aims: In preparation for the GTC, our goal is to build a catalogue of massive star candidates in the metal-poor irregular galaxy IC1613 with high astrometric accuracy, apt for the current generation of multi-object spectrographs. A census of OB associations in this galaxy is also needed, to provide important additional information about age and environment of the candidate OB stars. Methods: From INT-WFC observations, we have built an astrometric and photometric catalogue of stars in IC1613. Candidate blue massive stars are preselected from their colors. A friends-of-friends algorithm is developed to find their clustering in the galaxy. While a common physical origin for all the members of the associations cannot be ensured, this is a necessary first step to place candidate OB stars in a population context. Results: We have produced a deep catalogue of targets in IC1613 that covers a large field of view. To achieve high astrometric accuracy a new astrometric procedure is developed for the INT-WFC data. We have also built a catalogue of OB associations in IC1613. We have found that they concentrate in the central regions, specially in the HII bubbles. The study of extinction confirms that it is patchy, with local values of color-excess above the foreground value.
