Red Giant stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud clusters
Based on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile, using SOFI at the 3.5m NTT, within the observing programs 64.N-0038 and 68.D-0287
متن کاملThe Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud
We present the I–band luminosity function of the red giant branch stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the data from the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey (Zaritsky, Harris & Thompson, 1997). Selecting stars in uncrowded, low– extinction regions, a discontinuity in the luminosity function is observed at I0 = 14.54 mag. Identifying this feature with the tip of the red giant branch ...
متن کاملK-Band Red Clump Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Hipparcos I-band calibration of horizontal-branch red clump giants as standard candles has lead to controversial results for the distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In an attempt to properly ascertain the corrections for interstellar extinction and clump age and metallicity, we analyze new multiwavelength luminosity functions of the LMC red clump. Our photometry dataset in the K-b...
متن کاملChemical Compositions of Red Giant Stars in Old Large Magellanic Cloud Globular Clusters
We have observed ten red giant stars in four old Large Magellanic Cloud globular clusters with the high-resolution spectrograph MIKE on the Magellan Landon Clay 6.5-m telescope. The stars in our sample have up to 20 elemental abundance determinations for the α-, iron-peak, and neutron-capture element groups. We have also derived abundances for the light odd-Z elements Na and Al. We find NGC 200...
متن کاملThe chemical composition of red giant stars in four intermediate - age clusters of the Large Magellanic Cloud 1
This paper presents the chemical abundance analysis of a sample of 27 red giant stars located in 4 popolous intermediate-age globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud, namely NGC 1651, 1783, 1978 and 2173. This analysis is based on high-resolution (R∼47000) spectra obtained with the UVES@VLT spectrograph. For each cluster we derived up to 20 abundance ratios sampling the main chemical ele...
