不规则星系IC 10的恒星星族

Stellar Population of the Irregular Galaxy IC 10

N. A. Tikhonov, O. A. Galazutdinova

摘要:

根据我们的观察与6米BTA望远镜在特殊天体物理观测台,俄罗斯科学院,档案哈勃太空望远镜的图像,我们已经进行了恒星测光的几个地区的不规则星系IC 10,本星系群的成员。用TRGB方法对IC 10的几个区域获得了中值为(m-M)=24.47,D=780+/-40 kpc的距离模量。我们已经揭示了57个星团的质量和年龄的不同领域内使用。比较IC 10星团的赫兹斯普林-罗素图和理论等时线,发现该星系的金属丰度增强,这可能解释了沃尔夫-拉叶星中碳和氮的比例(WC/WN)很高。该星系的厚盘沿其短轴的尺寸为10 '.5,在盘外观察到更广泛的晕。

英文摘要:

Based on our observations with the 6-m BTA telescope at the Special Astrophysical Observatory, the Russian Academy of Sciences, and archival Hubble Space Telescope images, we have performed stellar photometry for several regions of the irregular galaxy IC 10, a member of the Local Group. Distance moduli with a median value of (m-M)=24.47, D=780+/-40 kpc, have been obtained by the TRGB method for several regions of IC 10. We have revealed 57 star clusters with various masses and ages within the fields used. Comparison of the Hertzsprung - Russell diagrams for star clusters in IC 10 with theoretical isochrones has shown that this galaxy has an enhanced metallicity, which probably explains the high ratio of the numbers of carbon and nitrogen Wolf-Rayet stars (WC/WN). The size of the galaxy's thick disk along its minor axis is 10'.5 and a more extended halo is observed outside this disk.
