摘要:

我们使用了一个数据集的档案哈勃太空望远镜的图像通过F555 W,F814 W和F656 N过滤器,执行一个完整的搜索对象显示$Hα$发射的球状星团NGC 6397。作为光度诊断,我们使用$(V-Hα)_0$ - $(V-I)_0$色-色图中的$(V-Hα)_0$色过量。在分析的视野中,我们确定了53个$Hα$发射器。特别是,我们确认了20个X射线源(7个激变变星,2个毫秒双星和11个活动双星)的光学对应物,并确定了33个以前未知的来源,从而显着扩大了该星团中已知活动双星的数量。我们报告的主要特点,为每一类的对象。的$Hα$发射线的等效宽度的光度估计,来自于$(V-Hα)_0$ -过量,并为第一次,相比,从MUSE光谱分析获得的光谱测量。光谱和光度测量之间的非常好的协议充分证实了所提出的方法来测量的$Hα$发射的可靠性。搜索证明了这种新方法的效率,精确定位和测量$Hα$ -发射器,从而提供了一个强大的工具,进行完整的人口普查的对象,其形成和演变可以强烈影响星团中的动力学相互作用。

英文摘要:

We used a dataset of archival Hubble Space Telescope images obtained through the F555W, F814W and F656N filters, to perform a complete search for objects showing $Hα$ emission in the globular cluster NGC 6397. As photometric diagnostic, we used the $(V-Hα)_0$ color excess in the $(V-Hα)_0$-$(V-I)_0$ color-color diagram. In the analysed field of view, we identified 53 $Hα$ emitters. In particular, we confirmed the optical counterpart to 20 X-ray sources (7 cataclysmic variables, 2 millisecond pulsars and 11 active binaries) and identified 33 previously unknown sources, thus significantly enlarging the population of known active binaries in this cluster. We report the main characteristics for each class of objects. Photometric estimates of the equivalent width of the $Hα$ emission line, were derived from the $(V-Hα)_0$-excess and, for the first time, compared to the spectroscopic measurements obtained from the analysis of MUSE spectra. The very good agreement between the spectroscopic and photometric measures fully confirmed the reliability of the proposed approach to measure the $Hα$ emission. The search demonstrated the efficiency of this novel approach to pinpoint and measure $Hα$-emitters, thus offering a powerful tool to conduct complete census of objects whose formation and evolution can be strongly affected by dynamical interactions in star clusters.
