摘要:

我们用哈勃太空望远镜上的ACS/HRC观测了M32附近的两个场,它们位于距离M32中心约1.8'和5.4'(以下分别为F1和F2)的地方。为了获得一个非常详细和深的颜色-星等图(CMD),并寻找短周期的变化,我们获得了每个字段的时间序列成像在32轨道长的曝光使用F435 W(B)和F555 W(V)过滤器,跨越时间范围为2天每个过滤器。我们专注于我们的RR天琴座变星,这是唯一的方法来获得信息的存在一个非常古老的人口(大于10 Gyr)在M32的光学数据的变化检测。在这里,我们提出的结果从检测31 RR天琴座在这些领域:17在F1和14在F2。

英文摘要:

We observed two fields near M32 with the ACS/HRC on board the Hubble Space Telescope, located at distances of about 1.8' and 5.4' (hereafter F1 and F2, respectively) from the center of M32. To obtain a very detailed and deep color-magnitude diagram (CMD) and to look for short period variability, we obtained time-series imaging of each field in 32-orbit-long exposures using the F435W (B) and F555W (V) filters, spanning a temporal range of 2 days per filter. We focus on our detection of variability on RR Lyrae variable stars, which represents the only way to obtain information about the presence of a very old population (larger than 10 Gyr) in M32 from optical data. Here we present results obtained from the detection of 31 RR Lyrae in these fields: 17 in F1 and 14 in F2.
