Young Galactic globular clusters II . The case of Palomar 12 ?
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present broadband V,I CCD photometry for ∼ 1700 stars towards the Galactic globular cluster Palomar 12, covering a field of 10.′7 × 10.′7. From these data, a colormagnitude diagram from the red giant branch tip to ∼ 2 mag below the cluster’s turn-off is obtained. From a comparison with the color magnitude diagrams of 47 Tuc and M5, and using different theoretical models, we confirm that Pal 12 is younger, finding an age 68±10% that of both template clusters. Revised structural parameters are also obtained: rc = 37.8 ± 0.6 and c = 1.08 ± 0.02.

متن کاملYoung Globular Clusters and Dwarf Spheroidals
Most of the globular clusters in the main body of the Galactic halo were formed almost simultaneously. However, globular cluster formation in dwarf spheroidal galaxies appears to have extended over a significant fraction of a Hubble time. This suggests that the factors which suppressed late-time formation of globulars in the main body of the Galactic halo were not operative in dwarf spheroidal ...

We present new photometry for the Galactic thick disk globular cluster Palomar 11 extending well past the main sequence turn-off in the V and I bands. This photometry shows noticeable, but depleted red giant and subgiant branches. The difference in magnitude between the red horizontal branch (red clump) and the subgiant branch is used to determine that Palomar 11 has an age of 10.4 ± 0.5 Gyr. T...
متن کاملHorizontal-branch Models and the Second-parameter Effect. Iii. the Impact of Mass Loss on the Red Giant Branch, and the Case of M5 and Palomar 4/eridanus
Deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry has recently been presented for the outer-halo globular clusters Palomar 4 and Eridanus. The new high-precision color-magnitude diagrams obtained for these globulars have allowed a measurement of their ages relative to M5 (NGC 5904), which is a wellobserved, much closer cluster. Assuming that the globular clusters share the same chemical composition,...
