On the metallicity of open clusters I. Photometry

摘要:

金属丰度是在将等时线拟合到星系团序列时通常考虑的四个自由参数之一。不幸的是,在大多数论文中,这个参数经常被忽略或假设为太阳能。因此,一个未知的偏见是在估计的其他三个集群参数(年龄,红化和距离)。此外,研究疏散星团的金属丰度不仅可以使我们得到全球范围内的银河丰度梯度,而且可以更详细地追踪当地的太阳环境。在一系列的三篇论文中,我们从广泛不同的光度学和光谱学方法研究了疏散星团已发表的金属丰度的现状。详细的比较结果,使我们能够建立更可靠的光度校准和校正等时线拟合技术。建立良好的数据库,如WEBDA帮助我们执行一个均匀的分析大量的疏散星团的可用测量。根据任何可用过滤器系统中的光度校准,检索文献中的[Fe/H]估计值。在Tadross发表的结果的基础上,我们证明了校准选择及其可能的影响的警告。总的来说,我们发现406个人的金属丰度值188疏散星团内64出版物。最后,这些值被不加权地平均。我们的最终样本包括188个疏散星团的[Fe/H]值。在4000 x4000 pc**2范围内追踪太阳环境,我们发现一个斑片状的金属丰度分布是对局部气泡的扩展,它显著影响了银河系金属丰度梯度的估计,即使在全球范围内。此外,为了获得银河系中心距离超过10 000 pc的更深刻的图像,显然需要对更遥远的疏散星团进行进一步的研究。

英文摘要:

Metallicity is one of four free parameters typically considered when fitting isochrones to the cluster sequence. Unfortunately, this parameter is often ignored or assumed to be solar in most papers. Hence an unknown bias is introduced in the estimation of the other three cluster parameters (age, reddening and distance). Furthermore, studying the metallicity of open clusters allows us not only to derive the Galactic abundance gradient on a global scale, but also to trace the local solar environment in more detail. In a series of three papers, we investigate the current status of published metallicities for open clusters from widely different photometric and spectroscopic methods. A detailed comparison of the results allows us to establish more reliable photometric calibrations and corrections for isochrone fitting techniques. Well established databases such as WEBDA help us to perform a homogeneous analysis of available measurements for a significant number of open clusters. The literature was searched for [Fe/H] estimates on the basis of photometric calibrations in any available filter system. On the basis of results published by Tadross, we demonstrate the caveats of the calibration choice and its possible impact. In total, we find 406 individual metallicity values for 188 open clusters within 64 publications. The values were, finally, unweightedly averaged. Our final sample includes [Fe/H] values for 188 open clusters. Tracing the solar environment within 4000x4000 pc**2 we identify a patchy metallicity distribution as an extension to the Local Bubble that significantly influences the estimation of the Galactic metallicity gradient, even on a global scale. In addition, further investigations of more distant open clusters are clearly needed to obtain a more profound picture at Galactocentric distances beyond 10 000 pc.
