摘要:

我们利用近红外远红外光谱在两个贫金属的银河系球状星团M53和NGC 5053周围寻找潮外星。应用t-SNE算法的化学丰度和径向速度的结果识别两个孤立的恒星集团组成的星团成员星在t-SNE投影平面。随着径向速度,位置的颜色星等图,从手动化学分析和丰度的额外的选择标准,我们发现总共有73个集群成员的候选人,7个潮外星被发现超出了两个集群的潮汐半径。星团周围的潮外星倾向于沿着星团自行的主导方向,并且这些星的自行似乎也与星团的自行相一致。有趣的是,我们发现NGC 5053的一颗潮外星位于M53的南郊,这是两个星团之间潮汐相互作用的共同恒星包层的一部分。我们讨论的背景下,两个集群之间的潮汐相互作用,这颗星的性质。我们发现明显的Mg-Al双晶关系具有明显的间隙和扩展($\sim$ 0.9 dex)的Al丰度的两个集群,和一个轻的Si丰度扩展($\sim$ 0.3 dex)的NGC 5053。由于所有的潮外星都具有Mg增强和Al亏损的特征,它们可能是两个球状星团的第一代恒星。我们的研究结果支持M53和NGC 5053起源于矮星系,并被更多的星团人口的扩展恒星子结构所包围。

英文摘要:

We search for extra-tidal stars around two metal-poor Galactic globular clusters, M53 and NGC 5053, using the near-infrared APOGEE spectra. Applying the t-SNE algorithm on the chemical abundances and radial velocities results in identification of two isolated stellar groups composed of cluster member stars in the t-SNE projection plane. With additional selection criteria of radial velocity, location in the color-magnitude diagram, and abundances from a manual chemical analysis, we find a total of 73 cluster member candidates; seven extra-tidal stars are found beyond the tidal radii of the two clusters. The extra-tidal stars around the clusters tend to be located along the leading direction of the cluster proper motion, and the individual proper motion of these stars also seems to be compatible to those of clusters. Interestingly, we find that one extra-tidal star of NGC 5053 is located on the southern outskirts of M53, which is part of common stellar envelope by the tidal interaction between two clusters. We discuss the nature of this star in the context of the tidal interaction between two clusters. We find apparent Mg-Al anticorrelations with a clear gap and spread ($\sim$0.9 dex) in Al abundances for both clusters, and a light Si abundance spread ($\sim$0.3 dex) for NGC 5053. Since all extra-tidal stars have Mg enhanced and Al depleted features, they could be first-generation stars of two globular clusters. Our results support that M53 and NGC 5053 originated in dwarf galaxies and are surrounded by extended stellar substructures of more numerous populations of clusters.
