使用盖亚DR2视差观测到球状星团47 Tuccino和NGC 362的距离

Distances to the globular clusters 47 Tucanae and NGC 362 using Gaia DR2 parallaxes

Seery Chen, Harvey Richer, Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl

摘要:

利用来自盖亚DR 2的视差,我们估计了到球状星团47 Tuc和NGC 362的距离,利用小麦哲伦云和类星体中的背景恒星来解释各种视差系统。我们发现视差是依赖于盖亚DR 2 G视星等的恒星与$13<\textrm{G}<18$,其中较亮的恒星有一个较低的视差零点比暗淡的恒星。发现到47 Tuc的距离为$4.45\pm0.01\pm0.12$ kpc,而对于NGC362 $8.54\pm0.20\pm0.44$ kpc,分别列出了随机误差和系统误差。这是第一次直接使用视差对这两个球状星团进行精确的距离测量。

英文摘要:

Using parallaxes from Gaia DR2, we estimate the distance to the globular clusters 47 Tuc and NGC 362, taking advantage of the background stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud and quasars to account for various parallax systematics. We found the parallax to be dependent on the Gaia DR2 G apparent magnitude for stars with $13<\textrm{G}<18$ , where brighter stars have a lower parallax zero point than fainter stars. The distance to 47 Tuc was found to be $4.45\pm0.01\pm0.12$ kpc, and for NGC 362 $8.54\pm0.20\pm0.44$ kpc with random and systematic errors listed respectively. This is the first time a precise distance measurement directly using parallaxes has been done for either of these two globular clusters.
