摘要:

AstroSat天文台上的紫外成像望远镜(UVIT)从2017年到2019年在FUV和NUV中拍摄了仙女座星系(M31),其空间分辨率高达1”。这次巡天覆盖了M31的大片天空区域,每个区域的直径为28弧分。使用F148 W滤波器在两个时期内观察到场1,间隔1133天(约3.10年)。直径为6.4kpc的场1(距离M31)包括了星系内螺旋臂的相当大一部分。我们确定UVIT源在两个时代的字段1,并获得目录的来源是可变的FUV在> 3西格玛和> 5西格玛的置信水平。FUV可变源的比例对于较亮的源较高,并且与其他区域相比,在两个主螺旋臂中的比例较高。这表明FUV变星中有很大一部分与年轻的热恒星有关。利用现有的星表,对86个> 5 σ的FUV变星中的42个找到了源对应。对应的星团包括10个星团、6个HII区、5个规则或半规则变星、6个其他变星和6个新星或新星候选者。UVIT的FUV-NUV和FUV-FUV色星等图证实了大多数FUV变星与热的年轻恒星的关联。提出了一个可变源紫外光检测光度学目录。

英文摘要:

The Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) onboard the AstroSat observatory has imaged the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) from 2017 to 2019 in FUV and NUV with the high spatial resolution of ~1". The survey covered the large sky area of M31 with a set of observations (Fields) each 28 arcminutes in diameter. Field 1 was observed in two epochs with the F148W filter, separated by 1133 days (~3.10 years). The 6.4 kpc diameter Field 1 (at the distance of M31) includes a substantial part of the inner spiral arms of the galaxy. We identify UVIT sources in both epochs of Field 1 and obtain catalogs of sources that are variable in FUV at > 3 sigma and > 5 sigma confidence level. The fraction of FUV variable sources is higher for brighter sources, and the fraction is higher in the two main spiral arms compared to other areas. This is evidence that a significant fraction of the FUV variables are associated with hot young stars. Source counterparts are found for 42 of the 86 > 5 sigma FUV variables using existing catalogs. The counterparts include 10 star clusters, 6 HII regions, 5 regular or semiregular variables, 6 other variables and 6 nova or nova candidates. The UVIT FUV-NUV and FUV-FUV color-magnitude diagrams confirm the association of most of the FUV variables with hot young stars. A catalog of UVIT photometry for the variable sources is presented.
