New CCD Survey of Globular Clusters in M 31 Myung
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 have found a number of interlopers among previous globular cluster catalogs. We have also obtained spectra of about 500 objects among these candidates using the HYDRA at the WIYN 3.5m telescope, which are used for classification and measuring the radial velocity of the candidate objects. When completed, a new master catalog of globular clusters in M31 will be made, combining the new globular clusters with the known globular clusters.

Photometry 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 کاملAn Updated Survey of Globular Clusters in M 31 I. Classification and Radial Velocity for 76 Candidate Clusters
1 We present the first results of a large spectroscopic survey of globular clusters and candidate globular clusters in the nearby M 31 galaxy. The survey is aimed at the classification of known candidate M 31 clusters and at the study of their kinematic properties. We obtained low-resolution spec-troscopy (λ/∆λ ≃ 800 − 1300) for 133 targets, including 76 yet-to-confirm candidate clusters (i.e. ...
متن کاملPhoenicis Stars in the Globular Cluster M 53
Through time-series CCD photometry of the metal-poor globular cluster M53, we have discovered eight new SX Phoenicis type stars (labeled from SXP1 to SXP8). All the new SX Phoenicis stars are located in the blue straggler star region of a color-magnitude diagram of M53. One of these stars (SXP2) is found to have very closely separated pulsation frequencies: f1/f2 = 0.9595 where f1 and f2 are pr...
متن کاملPhoenicis Stars in the Globular Cluster NGC 5466
Through time-series CCD photometry of the globular cluster NGC 5466, we have detected nine SX Phoenicis stars including three new ones. All the SX Phoenicis stars are located in the blue straggler region in the color-magnitude diagram of NGC 5466. Five of them show clearly double-radial mode features, the periods of which are well consistent with the theoretical ratio of the first overtone mode...
متن کاملSED, 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 ...
