SED, Metallicity and Age of Halo Globular Clusters in M33
In this paper we study the properties of ten halo globular clusters in the nearby spiral galaxy M33. CCD images of M33 were obtained as a part of the BATC Colour Survey of the sky in 13 intermediate-band filters from 3800 to 10000Å. By aperture photometry, we obtain the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of these globular clusters. We estimate the ages of our sample clusters by comparing the ...
متن کاملMetallicity Estimates for Old Star Clusters in M 33
Using the theoretical stellar population synthesis models of BC96, Kong et al. (2003) showed that some BATC colors and color indices could be used to disentangle the age and metallicity effect. They found that there is a very good relation between the flux ratio of L8510/L9170 and the metallicity for stellar populations older than 1 Gyr. In this paper, based on the Kong et al. results and on th...
متن کاملIdentification and photometry of globular clusters in M 31 and M 33 galaxies
We have used the data from the DIRECT project to search for new globular cluster candidates in the M31 and M33 galaxies. We have found 67 new objects in M31 and 35 in M33 and confirmed 38 and 16 previously discovered ones. A V I and BV I photometry has been obtained for all the clusters in M31 and M33 respectively. Luminosity functions have been constructed for the clusters in each galaxy and c...
متن کاملThe Self - Enrichment of Galactic Halo Globular Clusters The mass - metallicity relation
We discuss the existence of a mass-metallicity relation among galactic halo globular clusters. The lack of any luminosity-metallicity correlation in globular cluster systems has been used as an argument against self-enrichment models of cluster formation. We show that such a relation is statistically present among the galactic Old Halo globulars. This observational correlation implies that the ...
متن کاملMetallicity of the young halo globular cluster Ruprecht 106 ?
Medium resolution spectra of 3 stars have been used to determine the metallicity of the globular cluster Ruprecht 106. On the basis of a code developed by Cayrel et al. (1991), we computed a grid of synthetic spectra in order to derive the metallicity of these stars. We found an abundance of [F e/H] = −1.6 ± 0.25 which, although not formally at variance with the estimate of metallicity based on...
