摘要:

球状星团的外部区域可以使我们能够回答许多基本问题,这些问题涉及从星团的形成和演化及其多个恒星星族到研究接近和超过氢燃烧极限的恒星以及银河系的动力学。球状星团的外围仍然是观测上未知的领域。探索它们的一个非常有效的方法是通过大视场内低质量恒星的高精度自行。宽视场红外巡天望远镜(WFIRST)将所有这些特征结合在一个望远镜中,使其成为揭示星团最外层区域所包含的丰富信息的最佳观测工具。

英文摘要:

The outer regions of globular clusters can enable us to answer many fundamental questions concerning issues ranging from the formation and evolution of clusters and their multiple stellar populations to the study of stars near and beyond the hydrogen-burning limit and to the dynamics of the Milky Way. The outskirts of globular clusters are still uncharted territories observationally. A very efficient way to explore them is through high-precision proper motions of low-mass stars over a large field of view. The Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST) combines all these characteristics in a single telescope, making it the best observational tool to uncover the wealth of information contained in the clusters' outermost regions.
