摘要:

我们给出了14个中等年龄大麦云(LMC)星团的南双子座GMOS g,i测光,它们是:NGC 2155,2161,2162,2173,2203,2209,2213,2231,2249,霍奇6,SL 244,505,674和769,作为一个持续项目的一部分,调查扩展的主序列关闭(EMSTO)现象。在观测视场内进行了广泛的人造星试验。这些测试揭示了所观察到的光度误差与幅度和拥挤的行为。星团的恒星密度径向轮廓跟踪恒星计数的范围内的观测领域。我们采用聚类半径,并建立颜色星等图(CMD)与集群功能明确识别。我们使用聚类(g,g-i)CMD从理论等时线的匹配来估计年龄。所研究的大麦哲伦星系团是一个年龄在9.10 <log(t)<9.60之间的中等年龄星系团。NGC 2162和NGC 2249看起来像是新的EMSTO候选者,除了NGC 2209之外,基于双红色团块。

英文摘要:

We present Gemini South GMOS g,i photometry of 14 intermediate-age Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) star clusters, namely: NGC 2155, 2161, 2162, 2173, 2203, 2209, 2213, 2231, 2249, Hodge 6, SL 244, 505, 674, and 769, as part of a continuing project to investigate the extended Main Sequence Turnoff (EMSTO) phenomenon. Extensive artificial star tests were made over the observed field of view. These tests reveal the observed behaviour of photometric errors with magnitude and crowding. The cluster stellar density radial profiles were traced from star counts over the extent of the observed field. We adopt clus- ter radii and build colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) with cluster features clearly identified. We used the cluster (g,g-i) CMDs to estimate ages from the matching of theoretical isochrones. The studied LMC clusters are confirmed to be intermediate-age clusters, which range in age 9.10 < log(t) < 9.60. NGC 2162 and NGC 2249 look like new EMSTO candidates, in addition to NGC 2209, on the basis of having dual red clumps.
