A Deep HST Study of the Globular Cluster NGC 6397: Reduction Methods
We describe here the reduction methods that we developed to study the faintest red dwarfs and white dwarfs in an outer field of NGC6397, which was observed by HST for 126 orbits in 2005. The particular challenge of this data set is that the faintest stars are not readily visible in individual exposures, so special care must be taken to combine the information in all the exposures in order to id...
متن کاملPhotometry of Variable Stars in the Globular Cluster NGC 6397
Time series BV I photometry is presented for 16 short-period variables located in the central region of the globular cluster NGC 6397. The sample includes 9 newly detected variables. The light curve of cataclysmic variable CV6 shows variability with a period of 0.2356 days. We confirm an earlier reported period of 0.472 days for cataclysmic variable CV1. Phased light curves of both CVs exhibit ...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Eccentric Eclipsing Binary V 32 in the Globular Cluster NGC 6397 1
We present spectroscopic and photometric observations of the eclipsing binary V32 located in the central field of the globular cluster NGC 6397. The variable is a single-line spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 9.8783 d and a large eccentricity of e = 0.32. Its systemic velocity (γ = 20.7 km s) and metallicity ([Fe/H] ∼ -1.9) are both consistent with cluster membership. The primary c...
متن کاملL etter to the E ditor Lithium in the Globular Cluster NGC 6397 ⋆
Context. The lithium abundance predicted by the standard big bang nucleosynthesis with the baryonic density accurately measured from the fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background is a factor of three higher than that observed in metal-poor dwarf stars of the Galactic halo, the so-called Spite Plateau. Most Globular Clusters are believed to host a single stellar populations. They can thus ...
متن کاملPhotometric study of the variable star population in the globular cluster NGC 6397
We present the results of a photometric survey for variable stars in the central region of the nearby globular cluster NGC 6397. Time series photometry was obtained for 30 variable objects. The sample includes 12 new objects, of which 6 show periodic light curves and 2 are eclipsing binaries of unknown period. Six variables possess certain and three possess likely X-ray counterparts detected wi...
