Eugenio Carretta, Angela Bragaglia, Raffaele Gratton, Valentina D'Orazi, Sara Lucatello

摘要:

我们讨论了各种光度指数组装的uvby Stromgren系统。我们的目的是研究各种指标的利弊,以找到最合适的一个(S)的研究多个人口的球状星团(GC)的光谱发现的性质。我们特别探讨的能力,如m_1和c_y指数在不同的金属丰度。我们定义了一个新的指数delta_4=(u-v)-(b-y)来区分任何金属丰度的GC中的第一代和第二代恒星,因为它保持了对所有金属丰度范围内的多个恒星星族的敏感性,同时使光度误差的敏感性最小化。我们检测到明显的差异,红巨星分支的GC检查,如偏态或双/多模态的颜色分布。我们连接的光度信息与光谱结果的O,Na丰度,我们在我们的调查GC。最后,我们计算了不同的化学成分对Stromgren滤波器和指数使用合成光谱的影响。

英文摘要:

We discuss a variety of photometric indices assembled from the uvby Stromgren system. Our aim is to examine the pros and cons of the various indices to find the most suitable one(s) to study the properties of multiple populations in globular clusters (GCs) discovered by spectroscopy. We explore in particular the capabilities of indices like m_1 and c_y at different metallicities. We define a new index delta_4=(u-v)-(b-y) to separate first and second stellar generations in GCs of any metal abundance, since it keeps the sensitivity to multiple stellar populations over all the metallicity range and at the same time minimizes the sensitivity to photometric errors. We detecte clear differences in the red giant branches of the GCs examined, like skewness or bi/multi-modality in color distribution. We connect the photometric information with the spectroscopic results on O, Na abundances we obtained in our survey of GCs. Finally, we compute the effects of different chemical composition on the Stromgren filters and indices using synthetic spectra.
