来自PHAT的M31中的星团:巡天概况和初步结果
Stellar Clusters in M31 from PHAT: Survey Overview and First Results
摘要:
全色哈勃仙女座宝藏(PHAT)是一个正在进行的哈勃太空望远镜(HST)多周期计划,将以高分辨率对M31盘的三分之一进行成像,波长覆盖从紫外到近红外。该数据集将允许构建最完整的螺旋星系星团目录。在这里,我们提供了PHAT调查的概述,观测和分析的进展报告,以及PHAT集群计划的初步结果。虽然只有~20%的调查是完整的,HST的优越的分辨率使我们能够识别数百个新的中等和低质量的集群。因此,第一年调查足迹内的集群样本的大小相对于以前的目录增长了三倍。
英文摘要:
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) is an on-going Hubble Space Telescope (HST) multi-cycle program that will image one-third of the M31 disk at high resolution, with wavelength coverage from the ultraviolet through the near-infrared. This dataset will allow for the construction of the most complete catalog of stellar clusters obtained for a spiral galaxy. Here, we provide an overview of the PHAT survey, a progress report on the status of observations and analysis, and preliminary results from the PHAT cluster program. Although only ~20% of the survey is complete, the superior resolution of HST has allowed us to identify hundreds of new intermediate and low mass clusters. As a result, the size of the cluster sample within the Year 1 survey footprint has grown by a factor of three relative to previous catalogs.
