摘要:

本文介绍了银河系球状星团NGC 6402(M14)的时间序列$BVI$测光。这些数据由$\sim$ 137张图像组成,每个过滤器使用Cerro Tololo美洲天文台的0.9米和1.0米SMARTS望远镜获得。这些图像是在2006-2007年的两次观测中获得的。图像相减软件包ISIS与DAOPHOT II/ALLFRAME一起用于进行拥挤场测光和搜寻变星。我们确定了130个变量,其中8个是新发现的。变星群体由56颗ab型RR天琴座星、54颗c型RR天琴座星、6颗II型造父变星、1颗W Uma星、1颗分离食双星和12颗长周期变星组成。我们提供了RR Lyrics的傅立叶分解参数,并讨论了由此导出的物理参数和光度金属丰度。根据不同的天琴座RR型星绝对星等标定方法,讨论了M14的距离模数。在M14中可能存在的第二泛音RR天琴座是关键性的解决,我们的研究结果反对这种可能性。通过把所有的天琴座RR型恒星都看作星团的成员,我们得到了$\langle P_{ab}\rangle = 0.589$ d。这一点,再加上在周期振幅图中两种贝利类型的天琴座RR型恒星的位置,表明该星团属于奥斯特霍夫中间分类。这样一个中间Oosterhoff型是更常见的在附近的河外星系,我们批判性地讨论了其他几个可能的迹象,可能指向一个河外起源这个集群。

英文摘要:

We present time-series $BVI$ photometry for the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6402 (M14). The data consists of $\sim$137 images per filter, obtained using the 0.9m and 1.0m SMARTS telescopes at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. The images were obtained during two observing runs in 2006-2007. The image-subtraction package ISIS, along with DAOPHOT II/ALLFRAME, were used to perform crowded-field photometry and search for variable stars. We identified 130 variables, 8 of which are new discoveries. The variable star population is comprised of 56 ab-type RR Lyrae stars, 54 c-type RR Lyrae, 6 type II Cepheids, 1 W UMa star, 1 detached eclipsing binary, and 12 long-period variables. We provide Fourier decomposition parameters for the RR Lyrae, and discuss the physical parameters and photometric metallicity derived therefrom. The M14 distance modulus is also discussed, based on different approaches for the calibration of the absolute magnitudes of RR Lyrae stars. The possible presence of second-overtone RR Lyrae in M14 is critically addressed, with our results arguing against this possibility. By considering all of the RR Lyrae stars as members of the cluster, we derive $\langle P_{ab}\rangle = 0.589$ d. This, together with the position of the RR Lyrae stars of both Bailey types in the period-amplitude diagram, suggests an Oosterhoff-intermediate classification for the cluster. Such an intermediate Oosterhoff type is much more commonly found in nearby extragalactic systems, and we critically discuss several other possible indications that may point to an extragalactic origin for this cluster.
