摘要:

金属丰度是影响星团基本特征正确确定的关键参数,在银河系和恒星演化研究中具有重要意义。在现有的2174个疏散星团中,只有不到10%的星团的金属丰度在文献中得到了测定。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种方法,通过非主观的等时线拟合的交叉熵全局优化算法应用于UBV光度数据的疏散星团的金属丰度估计。用拟合方法同时确定了距离、红化、年龄和金属丰度等自由参数。拟合过程使用权重的观测数据的基础上估计的成员可能性为每个恒星,认为观测星等的限制,恒星的密度分布作为半径的函数,从集群的中心,和密度的恒星在多维星等空间。我们基于15个不同的UBV数据集给出了9个经过充分研究的疏散星团的[Fe/H]结果。[Fe/H]的值在10个情况下,光谱测定在文献中获得一致,表明我们的方法提供了一个很好的替代确定[Fe/H]通过使用一个客观的等时线拟合。我们的结果表明,典型的精度约为0.1 dex。

英文摘要:

The metallicity is a critical parameter that affects the correct determination fundamental characteristics stellar cluster and has important implications in Galactic and Stellar evolution research. Fewer than 10 % of the 2174 currently catalog open clusters have their metallicity determined in the literature. In this work we present a method for estimating the metallicity of open clusters via non-subjective isochrone fitting using the cross-entropy global optimization algorithm applied to UBV photometric data. The free parameters distance, reddening, age, and metallicity simultaneously determined by the fitting method. The fitting procedure uses weights for the observational data based on the estimation of membership likelihood for each star, which considers the observational magnitude limit, the density profile of stars as a function of radius from the center of the cluster, and the density of stars in multi-dimensional magnitude space. We present results of [Fe/H] for nine well-studied open clusters based on 15 distinct UBV data sets. The [Fe/H] values obtained in the ten cases for which spectroscopic determinations were available in the literature agree, indicating that our method provides a good alternative to determining [Fe/H] by using an objective isochrone fitting. Our results show that the typical precision is about 0.1 dex.
