The DIRECT project : Catalogs of stellar objects in nearby galaxies . II . Eastern arm and NGC 206 in M 31

چکیده
DIRECT is a project to directly obtain the distances to two important galaxies in the cosmological distance ladder, M31 and M33, using detached eclipsing binaries and Cepheids. As part of our search for these variables, we have obtained photometry and positions for thousands of stellar objects within the monitored fields, covering an area of 557.8 arcmin. In this research note we present the equatorial coordinates and BV I photometry for 26 712 stars in the M31 galaxy, along the eastern arm and in the vicinity of the star forming region NGC206.

The Direct Project : Catalogs of Stellar Objects in Nearby Galaxies . I . the Central
The DIRECT project aims to determine direct distances to two important galaxies in the cosmological distance ladder – M31 and M33 – using detached eclipsing binaries (DEBs) and Cepheids. The search for these variables requires time-series photometry of large areas of the target galaxies and yields magnitudes and positions for tens of thousands of stellar objects, which may be of use to the astr...
متن کاملStellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملEMISSION-LINE OBJECTS FROM A PRELIMINARY UKST OBJECTIVE PRISM SURVEY
A visual search has been made of four fields using United Kingdom 1.2m Schmidt Objective Prism plates with a reciprocal dispersion of 1 180 A/mm at HP. Such plate material is ideally suited to searches for emission-line galaxies. We present a catalogue of 53 emission-line objects, which comprises 45 galaxies, where individual HI1 regions are resolved in 16 bright galaxies; 8 are emission li...
متن کاملCepheids as tracers of star formation in M31 II. NGC 206: evidence for spiral arm interactions
NGC 206 in the Andromeda Galaxy (M 31) is the largest and perhaps the most massive region in the Local Group with coherent star formation taking place on a timescale of∼30 Myr.We have incorporated observations of the Hi emission and blue stars with our new identifications of Cepheid variables and those from observations by Baade and collaborators to study the star formation history in this regi...
متن کاملA Stellar Dynamical Mass Measurement of the Black Hole in Ngc 3998 from Keck Adaptive Optics Observations
We present a new stellar dynamical mass measurement of the black hole in the nearby, S0 galaxy NGC 3998. By combining laser guide star adaptive optics observations obtained with the OH-Suppressing Infrared Imaging Spectrograph on the Keck II telescope with long-slit spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck I telescope, we map out the stellar kinematics on both small spatial sca...
