摘要:

我们提出了一个新的极深的图像的分析解决了牧夫座I超微弱矮球状星系的恒星星族。这些新的数据是由哈勃太空望远镜拍摄的,使用了先进的巡天照相机(宽视场照相机)和宽视场照相机3(UVIS),带有过滤器F606 W和F814 W(基本上是V和I),作为推导该星系中低质量恒星初始质量函数的程序的一部分。我们比较和对比两种方法来获得恒星光度,即ePSF和DAOPHOT。我们根据ACS/WFC数据中DAOPHOT测光获得的色星等图上每颗恒星的位置来识别牧夫座I的可能成员。可能的成员位于接近恒星等时线,选择包括已知的金属丰度分布来自光谱数据的较亮的径向速度成员星,并与主序星关闭。牧夫座I星系的光度函数在F814 W和F606 W(织女星星等系统)中的50%完整性极限分别为27.4和28.2,对应的极限恒星质量为$\le 0.3 M_\odot$。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of new extremely deep images of the resolved stellar population of the Boötes I ultra faint dwarf spheroidal galaxy. These new data were taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (Wide Field Camera) and Wide Field Camera 3 (UVIS), with filters F606W and F814W (essentially V and I), as part of a program to derive the low-mass stellar initial mass function in this galaxy. We compare and contrast two approaches to obtaining the stellar photometry, namely ePSF and DAOPHOT. We identify likely members of Boötes I based on the location of each star on the color-magnitude diagram, obtained with the DAOPHOT photometry from the ACS/WFC data. The probable members lie close to stellar isochrones that were chosen to encompass the known metallicity distribution derived from spectroscopic data of brighter radial-velocity member stars and are consistent with the main-sequence turnoff. The resulting luminosity function of the Boötes I galaxy has a 50% completeness limit of 27.4 in F814W and 28.2 in F606W (Vega magnitude system), which corresponds to a limiting stellar mass of $\le 0.3 M_\odot$.
