摘要:

本文利用Las Campanas天文台Clay望远镜MMIRS和Via Lactea巡天(VVV)数据中的VISTA变星,对投射在银盘上的球状星团2 MASS-GC 03进行了深近红外测光和光谱学研究。最可能的集群成员候选人确定近红外测光。在10个光谱跟踪的候选者中,有5个具有团成员的性质,由此计算出<[Fe/H]> = -0.9 +-0.2,径向速度v_r > = -78 +-12km/s。估计距离10.8kpc的可能是3个RRLy成员。考虑到该星团目前距离银河系中心4.2千秒差距,该星团估计的11.3 +-1.2 Gyr的长生存时间加强了其球状星团性质的情况。这个星系团在银河系中心的方向上有一点伸长。

英文摘要:

We present deep near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the globular cluster 2MASS-GC03 projected in the Galactic disk using MMIRS on the Clay telescope (Las Campanas Observatory) and VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea survey (VVV) data. Most probable cluster member candidates were identified from near-infrared photometry. Out of ten candidates that were followed-up spectroscopically, five have properties of cluster members, from which we calculate <[Fe/H]> = -0.9 +- 0.2 and a radial velocity of v_r > = -78 +- 12km/s. A distance of 10.8kpc is estimated from 3 likely RRLyrae members. Given that the cluster is currently at a distance of 4.2kpc from the Galactic center, the cluster's long survival time of an estimated 11.3 +- 1.2Gyr strengthens the case for its globular-cluster nature. The cluster has a hint of elongation in the direction of the Galactic center.
