New CCD Survey of Globular Clusters in M 31 Myung
We present a progress report of our wide field CCD survey of globular clusters in M31. We have covered 3 deg × 3 deg area centered on M31, using the KPNO 0.9m and Washington CMT1 filters. Our survey is much deeper and more sensitive than previous surveys. We have found several hundred new globular cluster candidates in M31 in addition to confirming previously known globular clusters, and also h...
متن کاملThe true shapes of the globular clusters in M 31
The true shapes of the globular clusters (GCs) in M 31 have been derived from observed ellipticities. The nonparametric kernel estimates for the axis ratios distributions in the case of oblate or prolate spheroid hypothesis and the parametric estimates in the case of triaxial ellipsoid hypothesis have been used. The cluster shapes are inconsistent with the oblate/prolate hypothesis and only the...
متن کاملPhotometry of New Globular Clusters in M 31 Sang
We present a progress report on Washington photometry of several hundred new globular cluster (GC) candidates in M31 which were recently found from our new CCD survey of GCs. Washington CMT1 filters we used are very efficient to survey extragalactic GCs and to estimate the metallicity of GCs. Preliminary color-magnitude diagrams and color-color diagrams of the new GC candidates and known GCs in...
متن کاملMulticolour Photometric Study of M 31 Globular Clusters
We present the photometry of 30 globular clusters (GCs) and GC candidates in 15 intermediate-band filters covering from ∼3000 to ∼10000Å using the archival CCD images of M31 observed as part of the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) Multicolour Sky Survey. We transform these intermediate-band photometric data to the photometry in the standard U BV RI broad-bands. These M31 GC candidates ...
متن کاملAn updated survey of globular clusters in M 31 . II . Newly discovered bright and remote clusters
Aims. We present the first results of a large spectroscopic survey of candidate globular clusters located in the extreme outskirts of the nearby M31 galaxy. The survey is aimed at ascertaining the nature of the selected candidates to increase the sample of confirmed M31 clusters lying more that 2 • away from the center of the galaxy. Methods. We obtained low resolution spectra (λ/∆λ ≃ 800 − 130...
