Photometric identification of blue horizontal branch stars
We investigate the performance of some common machine learning techniques in identifying Blue Horizontal Branch (BHB) stars from photometric data. To train the machine learning algorithms, we use previously published spectroscopic identifications of BHB stars from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data. We investigate the performance of three different techniques, namely k nearest neighbour class...
متن کاملBlue Horizontal Branch Stars in the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy
We report on the recovery of a Blue Horizontal Branch (BHB) population belonging to the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy (Sgr). The sequence is clearly identified in the (V, V-I) Color Magnitude Diagram (CMD) obtained for about 500,000 stars in the region of the globular cluster M 54. The BHB morphology is similar to the analogous sequence in M 54, but it is unambiguously associated with Sgr...
متن کاملOn the Blue Tail of Horizontal Branch Stars
We discuss theoretical predictions for ZAHB models constructed either by including or neglecting the He extra-mixing effect recently suggested by Sweigart (1997). The comparison in the logTe − logg plane suggests that within current observational uncertainties canonical hot HB models based on new input physics agree with empirical data in Galactic globular clusters and in the field. We also bri...
متن کاملMasses and Gravities of Blue Horizontal Branch ( Bhb ) Stars
Previous spectroscopic analyses of Blue Horizontal Branch (BHB) stars in six globular clusters revealed too low masses in four clusters when compared to canonical evolutionary theory, while the masses of the BHB stars in NGC 6752 and M 5 are found to be consistent with theory. We recalculated BHB star masses using new cluster distances derived by Reid (1997a,b) from Hipparcos parallaxes of loca...
متن کاملRotation Velocities of Red and Blue Field Horizontal-Branch Stars
We present measurements of the projected stellar rotation velocities (v sin i) of a sample of 45 candidate field horizontal-branch (HB) stars spanning a wide range of effective temperature, from red HB stars with Teff ' 5000 K to blue HB stars with Teff of 17000 K. Among the cooler blue HB stars (Teff = 7500– 11500 K), we confirm prior studies showing that although a majority of stars rotate at...
