富金属厚盘球状星团NGC5927的研究

A study of the metal-rich, thick disk globular cluster NGC5927

摘要:

本文列出了富金属球状星团NGC 5927中的72颗视向速度成员星。径向速度是基于多历元,多纤维谱。我们确定了46 RGB/HB星和26个关闭的恒星,径向速度的成员在集群。这个星系团非常靠近星盘,因此前和/或背景污染,特别是在星系团的外围,可能非常严重。幸运的是,该星团的径向速度(我们确定为v_rad=--104.03 +/- 5.03 km/s)使其与周围、背景和前景恒星星族的整体速度明显不同。因此,我们的成员识别是干净的,我们可以量化50%的污染时,在集群的外部部分的恒星被选择完全基于颜色星等图中的位置,而不是选择基于径向速度。

英文摘要:

We present a list of 72 radial velocity member stars in the metal-rich globular cluster NGC5927. The radial velocities are based on multi-epoch, multi-fibre spectra. We identify 46 RGB/HB stars and 26 turn-off stars that are radial velocity members in the cluster. This cluster is situated quite close to the disk and hence fore- and/or background contamination, especially in the outskirts of the cluster, can be quite severe. Fortunately, the cluster has a radial velocity (we determine it to v_rad=--104.03 +/- 5.03 km/s) that sets it clearly apart from the bulk velocities of the surrounding, background, and foreground stellar populations. Hence, our identification of members is clean and we can quantify a 50% contamination when stars in the outer part of the cluster are selected solely based on position in the colour-magnitude diagram as opposed to selections based on radial velocities.
