摘要:

我们试图解决文献中关于银河系球状星团M13中存在径向分离的多个种群的紧张局势。以前对这个邻近星团的研究,在M13内部区域的动力学混合程度上,提出了不一致的结果。使用地基(UBVI)测光,我们表明,累计径向分布的红巨星分支的蓝色和红色的两侧的恒星是统计上相同的。有趣的是,这些结果是使用大口径地面望远镜以及更中型的仪器获得的数据,两者都与以前使用HST和Stromgren测光所做的工作一致。结果来自使用C_{U,B,I}指数,显示是敏感的成分差异。我们讨论了我们的结论,M13内的化学不同的人口可能会动态混合的背景下,从模拟公布的结果。

英文摘要:

We seek to resolve the tension in the literature regarding the presence of radially segregated multiple populations in Galactic globular cluster M13. Previous studies of this nearby cluster have presented discordant results about the degree of dynamical mixing in M13's inner region. Using ground-based (UBVI) photometry, we show that cumulative radial distributions of stars on the blue and red sides of the red giant branch are statistically identical. Interestingly, these results are obtained using data from large-aperture, ground-based telescopes as well as a more modestly-sized instrument, and both are in agreement with previous work done using HST and Stromgren photometry. Results are derived using the C_{U,B,I} index, shown to be sensitive to compositional differences. We discuss our conclusions that the chemically distinct populations within M13 may be dynamically mixed in the context of published results from simulations.
