- Description:
- We show that the open cluster Trumpler 20, contrary to the earlier findings, is actually an old Galactic open cluster. New CCD photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy are used to derive the main parameters of this cluster. At [Fe/H]=-0.11 for a single red giant star, the metallicity is slightly subsolar. The best fit to the colour-magnitude diagrams is achieved using a 1.3-Gyr isochrone with convective overshoot. The cluster appears to have a significant reddening at E(B-V)=0.46 (for B0 spectral type), although for red giants this high reddening yields the colour temperature exceeding the spectroscopic Teff by about 200K. Trumpler 20 is a very rich open cluster, containing at least 700 members brighter than M_V_=+4. It may extend over the field of view available in our study at 20x20arcmin^2^.

- Description:
- We present B, V and I CCD stellar photometry for a sample of 20 field irregular dwarf galaxies. Their corrected radial velocity is V_0_<500km/s. Most of them have been resolved into stars for the first time. Based on photometry of their brightest blue stars we have derived the following distances: 5.9Mpc (UGC 685), 5.4Mpc (UGC 1281), 7.2Mpc (UGC 3303), 7.0Mpc (UGC 3476), 7.3:Mpc (UGC 3600), 7.2:Mpc (UGC 3698), 7.9Mpc (NGC 2337), 8.6Mpc (UGC 3817), 5.7Mpc (UGC 3860), 5.6Mpc (UGC 4426), >=7.9Mpc (F 565-v1), 7.4:Mpc (UGC 5086), 7.1Mpc (UGC 5272), 5.9Mpc (UGC 5340), 7.1Mpc (UGC 5427), 2.7:Mpc (UGC 5456), 6.6Mpc (NGC 3274), 9.3Mpc (UGC 5889), 5.2Mpc (NGC 5238), and 8.0Mpc (UGC 9405). Our sample exhibits diverse morphological properties evidently caused by their different starburst activity. The galaxy sample has a median integral absolute magnitude M_B_=-14.6 and a median integral colour (B-V)_T_=+0.47. One dwarf, UGC 5340, stands out by its very blue colour, (B-V)_T_=+0.18, and by its high M(HI)/L ratio, as expected for young galaxies. Four objects of the sample are IRAS sources. Being well isolated systems, the considered galaxies may be used to estimate a local value of the Hubble parameter, H=V_0_/D. For half of the sample galaxies their individual H- values are concentrated within [58-68]km/s/Mpc with a median of 65km/s/Mpc.

- Description:
- We present a BVI photometric and astrometric catalogue of the open cluster NGC 3960, down to limiting magnitude V~22, obtained from observations taken with the Wide Field Imager camera at the MPG/ESO 2.2m Telescope at La Silla. The photometry of all the stars detected in our field of view has been used to estimate a map of the strong differential reddening affecting this area. Our results indicate that, within the region where the cluster dominates, the E(V-I) values range from 0.21 up to 0.78, with E(V-I)=0.36 (E(B-V)=0.29) at the nominal cluster centroid position; color excesses E(V-I) up to 1 mag have been measured in the external regions of the field of view where field stars dominate. The reddening-corrected color-magnitude diagram (CMD) allows us to conclude that the cluster has an age between 0.9 and 1.4Gyr and a distance modulus of (V-M_V)_0=11.35. Based on observations made with the European Southern Observatory telescopes obtained from the the ESO/ST-ECF Science Archive Facility.

- Description:
- A method for determining distances to dark clouds and Bok globules based on broad-band optical and near-infrared photometry is presented. In this method, intrinsic colour indices of stars projected towards the direction of a cloud are computed by dereddening the observed colour indices using various trial values of extinction A_V_ and a standard extinction law. The computed intrinsic colour indices for a star are then compared with the intrinsic colour indices of normal main-sequence stars and a spectral type is assigned to the star for which the computed colour indices best match the standard intrinsic colour indices. Distances (d) to the stars are determined using the A_V_ and absolute magnitudes (M_V_) corresponding to the spectral types thus obtained. A plot of A_V_ against d undergoes a sharp rise at a distance corresponding to the distance to the cloud. Using this method, we have determined a distance of 550pc to the cometary globule CG 12.

- Description:
- We present wide-field BVI photometry for about 11500 stars in the low-metallicity cluster NGC 5466. We have detected the red giant branch bump for the first time, although it is at least 0.2mag fainter than expected relative to the turnoff. The number of red giants (relative to main-sequence turnoff stars) is in excellent agreement with stellar models from the Yonsei-Yale and Teramo groups, and slightly high compared to Victoria-Regina models. This adds to evidence that an abnormally large ratio of red giant to main-sequence stars is not correlated with cluster metallicity.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- NGC4589, a bright E2 merger-remnant galaxy, hosts the peculiar fast and faint calcium-rich supernova SNIb SN2005cz. The progenitor of Ca-rich SNeIb has been controversial: it could be (1) a young, massive star with 6-12M{sun} in a binary system, or (2) an old, low-mass star in a binary system that was kicked out from the galaxy center. Moreover, previous distance estimates for this galaxy have shown a large spread, ranging from 20 to 60Mpc. Thus, using archival Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys (HST/ACS) F435W, F555W, and F814W images, we search for star clusters in NGC4589 in order to help resolve these issues. We find a small population of young star clusters with 25<V<=27(-7.1<M_V_<-5.1)mag and age <1Gyr in the central region at R<0.5' (<3.8kpc), thus supporting the massive-star progenitor scenario for SN2005cz. In addition to young star clusters, we also find a large population of old globular clusters. In contrast to previous results in the literature, we find that the color distribution of the globular clusters is clearly bimodal. The turnover (Vega) magnitude in the V-band luminosity functions of the blue (metal-poor) globular clusters is determined to be V_0_(max)=24.40{+/-}0.10mag. We derive the total number of globular clusters, N_GC_=640{+/-}50, and the specific frequency, S_N_=1.7{+/-}0.2. Adopting a calibration for the metal-poor globular clusters, M_V_(max) =-7.66{+/-}0.14mag, we derive a distance to this galaxy: (m-M)_0_=32.06{+/-}0.10(ran){+/-}0.15(sys) (d=25.8{+/-}2.2Mpc).

- Description:
- We have conducted a three-band (BVI) variability survey of the globular cluster M3. This is the first three-band survey of the cluster using modern image subtraction techniques. Observations were made over nine nights in 1998 on the 1.2m telescope at the F. L. Whipple Observatory in Arizona. We present photometry for 180 variable stars in the M3 field, 12 of which are newly discovered. New discoveries include six SX Phoenicis-type variables that all lie in the blue straggler region of the color-magnitude diagram, two new first-overtone RR Lyrae variables, a candidate multimode RR Lyrae variable, a detached eclipsing binary, and two unclassified variables. We also provide revised periods for 52 of the 168 previously known variables that we observe.
