Pfleiderer2:银河系中一个新的球状星团的确认

Pfleiderer2: identification of a new globular cluster in the Galaxy

Sergio Ortolani, Charles Bonatto, Eduardo Bica, Beatriz Barbuy

摘要:

我们提供的证据表明,星团Pfleiderer 2,这是一个新发现的银河系球状星团,预计在丰富的领域。由于它位于一个拥挤的领域,核心提取和去污工具,以揭示集群序列的B,V和I色幅图(CMD)。Pfleiderer 2的主要CMD特征是一个倾斜的红巨星分支和一个红色的水平分支,表明太阳周围的金属丰度很高。红化为E(B-V)=1.01。这个球状星团距离太阳d $_{\odot}$ = 16 $\pm$ 2 kpc。该星团位于银道面上方2.7千秒差距处,距离银道中心R $_{\rm GC}$ =9.7千秒差距,这对于富含金属的球状星团来说是不寻常的。

英文摘要:

We provide evidence that indicate the star cluster Pfleiderer 2, which is projected in a rich field, as a newly identified Galactic globular cluster. Since it is located in a crowded field, core extraction and decontamination tools were applied to reveal the cluster sequences in B, V and I Color-Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs). The main CMD features of Pfleiderer 2 are a tilted Red Giant Branch, and a red Horizontal Branch, indicating a high metallicity around solar. The reddening is E(B-V)=1.01. The globular cluster is located at a distance from the Sun d$_{\odot}$ = 16$\pm$2 kpc. The cluster is located at 2.7 kpc above the Galactic plane and at a distance from the Galactic center of R$_{\rm GC}$=9.7 kpc, which is unusual for a metal-rich globular cluster.
