摘要:

作为哈勃空间望远镜“银河系球状星团紫外遗产巡天“计划的一部分,我们分析了球状星团NGC 6352中多个恒星星族(mPOP)的径向分布和运动学性质。NGC 6352是少数几个在所有进化序列中都能清楚地看到mPOP标记的GC之一。我们计算了从星团核心到75角秒($\sim$ 1.5核心半径,或$\sim$ 0.6半光半径)的恒星的高精度恒星自行。我们发现,在探索的区域中,第一代和第二代恒星具有相同的径向分布和运动学特性。速度色散,各向异性径向剖面,差分旋转,和能量均分的水平,都表明NGC 6352可能是在一个先进的演化阶段,和任何可能的差异,其mPOP的结构和运动学性质已被擦除的动力学过程中的核心集群。我们还提供了一个估计的质量蓝离散和主序星二进制通过运动学。在一般情况下,为了建立一个完整的动态图片,这和其他GC,这将是必不可少的扩展本文中提出的分析GC的外部区域的mPOP属性的初始差异的一些记忆,和那些印记的动态过程,可能仍然存在。

英文摘要:

We present the analysis of the radial distributions and kinematic properties of the multiple stellar populations (mPOPs) hosted in the globular cluster (GC) NGC 6352 as part of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) "UV Legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters" program. NGC 6352 is one of the few GCs for which the mPOP tagging in appropriate color-magnitude diagrams is clear in all evolutionary sequences. We computed high-precision stellar proper motions for the stars from the cluster's core out to 75 arcsec ($\sim$1.5 core radii, or $\sim$0.6 half-light radii). We find that, in the region explored, first- and second-generation stars share the same radial distribution and kinematic properties. Velocity dispersions, anisotropy radial profiles, differential rotation, and level of energy equipartition, all suggest that NGC 6352 is probably in an advanced evolutionary stage, and any possible difference in the structural and kinematic properties of its mPOPs have been erased by dynamical processes in the core of the cluster. We also provide an estimate of the mass of blue stragglers and of main-sequence binaries through kinematics alone. In general, in order to build a complete dynamical picture of this and other GCs, it will be essential to extend the analyses presented in this paper to the GCs' outer regions where some memories of the initial differences in the mPOP properties, and those imprinted by dynamical processes, might still be present.
