球状星团中长周期变星的搜寻:M22和IC4499

A search for long period variables in Globular Clusters: M22 and IC4499

Anand Sahay, Thomas Lebzelter, Peter Wood

摘要:

本文报道了对两个贫金属球状星团M22和IC 4499进行长时间测光监测的结果。我们在M22区域检测到22个新的LPV,并确认了6个已知变量的变异性。可以确定其中16个的期限。在IC 4499领域,我们检测并表征了2种新的LPV。根据光度学和文献资料,对所有变量的星团成员进行了评价,并讨论了恒星在logP-K图中的位置。我们的研究结果进一步支持在金属丰度低至[Fe/H]=-1.7时存在LPV。在贫金属的星系团中发现LPV的光度范围低于富金属的星系团。

英文摘要:

We report on the results of a long time photometric monitoring of the two metal poor Galactic globular clusters M22 and IC4499 searching for long period variables (LPVs) on the upper giant branch. We detected 22 new LPVs in the field of M22 and confirmed the variability of six known variables. Periods could be determined for 16 of them. In the field of IC4499 we detected and characterized 2 new LPVs. Cluster membership is evaluated for all the variables based on photometry and literature data, and the location of the stars in logP-K-diagram is discussed. Our findings give further support to the presence of LPVs at metallicities as low as [Fe/H]=-1.7. The luminosity range where LPVs are found in metal poor clusters is lower than in more metal rich clusters.
