摘要:

我们提出了一个样本的11个M31造父变星的星团,来自全色哈勃仙女座宝库(PHAT)集群目录和泛STARRS 1(PS1)磁盘造父变星目录的重叠。在HST星表中识别出PS1造父变星后,我们使用更高分辨率的HST测光校准PS1平均星等,揭示了由于地面星表中的拥挤效应而导致的1星等偏移。我们测量年龄的集群执行单一的恒星星族适合他们的颜色星等图(CMD)不包括他们的造父变星。从这些集群的年龄测量,我们得到了一个经验的周期年龄关系,与现有的文献值。通过确认M31造父变星的这种关系,我们证明了它在M31上的高精度逐点年龄估计中的应用。

英文摘要:

We present a sample of 11 M31 Cepheids in stellar clusters, derived from the overlap of the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) cluster catalog and the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) disk Cepheid catalog. After identifying the PS1 Cepheids in the HST catalog, we calibrate the PS1 mean magnitudes using the higher resolution HST photometry, revealing up to 1 magnitude offsets due to crowding effects in the ground-based catalog. We measure ages of the clusters by performing single stellar population fits to their color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) excluding their Cepheids. From these cluster age measurements, we derive an empirical period-age relation which agrees well with the existing literature values. By confirming this relation for M31 Cepheids, we justify its application in high-precision pointwise age estimation across M31.
