摘要:

紫外成像望远镜(UVIT)是印度空间研究组织(ISRO)预计将于2015年发射的第一颗印度多波长卫星ASTROSAT上的有效载荷之一。我们已经进行了模拟紫外研究的老疏散星团的UVIT。利用可用于UVIT观测的FUV通道(130 - 180 nm)和NUV通道(200 - 300 nm)的10个滤光片,对三个老的疏散星团M67、NGC 188和NGC 6791作了色星等图(CMD)和空间图象。模拟了不同滤波器组合下的CMD,并将其用于识别各种演化序列、白矮星、蓝离散星、红巨星、次巨星、关闭星和星团主序列的轨迹。通过考虑过滤器的可用性和仪器的检测限,目前的工作有助于确定三个旧疏散星团的潜在研究领域。我们还推荐过滤器组合,可用于检测和研究上述进化阶段。模拟和结果在这里提出的是必不可少的最佳使用的UVIT的老疏散星团的研究。

英文摘要:

Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) is one of the payloads on the first Indian multi wavelength satellite ASTROSAT expected to be launched by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in the year 2015. We have performed simulations of UV studies of old open clusters for the UVIT. The colour magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and spatial appearances have been created using 10 filters of FUV channel (130 - 180 nm) and NUV channel (200 - 300nm) available for observations on the UVIT, for three old open clusters M67, NGC 188 and NGC 6791. The CMDs are simulated for different filter combinations, and they are used to identify the loci of various evolutionary sequences, white dwarfs, blue stragglers, red giants, sub giants, turn off stars and the main sequence of the clusters. The present work helps in identifying the potential area of study in the case of three old open clusters, by considering the availability of filters and the detection limits of the instrument. We also recommend filter combinations, which can be used to detect and study the above mentioned evolutionary stages. The simulations and the results presented here are essential for the optimal use of the UVIT for studies of old open clusters.
