Simple Stellar Population Models as probed by the Large Magellanic Cloud Star Cluster ESO 121–SC03
The presence of blue straggler stars (BSs) in star clusters has proven a challenge to conventional simple stellar population (SSP) models. Conventional SSP models are based on the evolution theory of single stars. Meanwhile, the typical locations of BSs in the colour-magnitude diagram of a cluster are brighter and bluer than the main sequence turn-off point. Such loci cannot be predicted by sin...
متن کاملThe Large Magellanic Cloud cluster NGC 2214
Johnson BV CCD observations have been made of the young Large Magellanic Cloud cluster NGC 2214 and a nearby field using the Anglo-Australian Telescope. It has been suggested in the literature that this elliptical cluster is actually two clusters in the process of merging. No evidence is found from profile fitting or the colour–magnitude diagrams to support this contention. Completeness factors...
متن کاملThe Star Formation History of the Large Magellanic Cloud
We present the first-ever global, spatially-resolved reconstruction of the star formation history (SFH) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), based on the application of our StarFISH analysis software to the multiband photometry of twenty million of its stars from the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey. The general outlines of our results are consistent with previously published results: follo...
متن کاملStar cluster ‘infant mortality’ in the Small Magellanic Cloud (Redivivus)
The early evolution of star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) has been the subject of significant recent controversy, particularly regarding the importance and length of the earliest, largely mass-independent disruption phase (referred to as ‘infant mortality’). Here, we take a fresh approach to the problem, using an independent, homogeneous data set of UBVR imaging observations, fro...
متن کاملThe Distance of the Large Magellanic Cloud Cluster NGC 1866
Hubble Space Telescope V, I photometry of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud cluster NGC 1866 shows a well defined cluster main sequence down to V=25 mag, with little contamination from field or foreground stars. We use the main sequence fitting procedure to link the distance of NGC 1866 to the Hipparcos determination of the distance for the Hyades MS stars, making use of evolutionary prescrip...
