BVI光度学和M15的红巨星分支光度函数

BVI Photometry and the Red Giant Branch Luminosity Function of M15

Diane K. Feuillet, Nathaniel E. Q. Paust, Brian Chaboyer

摘要:

我们提出了新的$BVI$测光包含银河系球状星团M15(NGC 7078)的40,000颗恒星,覆盖了以星团为中心的$25 \times 25$弧分区域,其星等范围从红巨星分支的尖端到主序星关闭点以下的三个星等。利用$α$增强的Dartmouth恒星演化程序模型,通过等时线拟合,得到了$13.0 \ \pm \ 1.0$陀螺的年龄和$(m-M)_V = 15.4 \pm 0.1$的距离模量。与以前的工作不同,我们发现观测到的完整性校正的恒星光度函数和模型之间的良好协议。

英文摘要:

We present new $BVI$ photometry containing 40,000 stars of the Galactic globular cluster M15 (NGC 7078) covering a $25 \times 25$ arcminute area centered on the cluster with a magnitude range from the tip of the Red Giant Branch to three magnitudes below the main sequence turn-off. Using $α$-enhanced Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Program models, we find an age of $13.0 \ \pm \ 1.0$ Gyr and distance modulus of $(m-M)_V = 15.4 \pm 0.1$ through isochrone fitting. Unlike previous works, we find good agreement between the observed completeness-corrected stellar luminosity function and models.
