- Description:
- Based on photometry of deep CCD frames of the central region of the OB cluster Berkeley 86, we derive the cluster mass function. The absence of current star formation, and the cluster's young age of about 6Myrs, leads to the conclusion that the initial mass function (IMF) and the current mass function are identical for stars with m<10m_{sun}_. In the range of 1.2-20m_{sun}_, an IMF with a slope of {GAMMA}=-1.3+/-0.3 is found. This value agrees well with other recent determinations of young clusters IMFs which are close to the classical Salpeter IMF with {GAMMA}=-1.35. Sections of the IMF of Berkeley 86 that are significantly steeper, or flatter, are most likely the result of a dip in the star's mass distribution in the range of 3.5-10m_{sun}_. Similar dips may have led to steep IMFs over narrow mass ranges, as reported in the literature for some other clusters. No sign for a low mass turn-over in the IMF of Berkeley 86 is found for masses extending down to 0.85 m_{sun}_.

- Description:
- We have carried out deep (V~21mag) UBVRI photometric study of the star cluster Stock 18. These along with archival Infrared data have been used to derive the basic cluster parameters and also to derive the basic cluster parameters and also to study the star for formation processes in and around the cluster region. The distance to the cluster is derived as 2.8+/-0.2kpc while its age is estimated as 6.0+/-2.0Myr. Present study indicates that interstellar reddening is normal in the direction of the cluster. The mass function slope is found to be -1.37+/-0.27 for the mass range 1<M/M_{sun}_<11.9. There is no evidence found for the effect of mass segregation in main-sequence stars of the cluster. A young stellar population with age between 1-2Myr have been found in and around the cluster region. The presence of IRAS and AKARI sources with MSX intensity map also show the youth of the Sh2-170 region.

- Description:
- We present the results of a large-scale imaging photometric study of the stellar population in the northern part of NGC 3372 in the UBVRIJHK bands with a wavelength coverage from 0.33 to 2.5{mu}m. The observations were made at Las Campanas Observatory. The optical CCD mosaics cover an area approximately of 32x22arcmin^2^ centred between the Tr 14 and Tr 16 clusters. The survey was extended to cover 12x12arcmin^2^ at the location of Tr 15. Near-infrared NICMOS3 mosaics covering the areas occupied by these clusters were obtained in the JHK photometric bands. By means of star counts in V, the centres and sizes of each cluster were redetermined yielding: Tr 14 (r=264"), Tr 15 (r=320") and Tr 16 (r=320"). It was confirmed that Cr 232 is not a true cluster. Multicolour optical photometry was obtained for 4152 stars. Two colour and colour-magnitude diagrams are presented and analysed for each individual cluster and compared to those of the field. We confirm the widespread variations in the dust density and also in the dust size distribution leading to widely different values of A_V_and reddening laws towards Tr 14 and Tr 16. No spatial patterns were found for these variations. Spectroscopic parallaxes were computed and the results are consistent with all three clusters being at a similar distance from the Sun (<d>=2.7kpc) but the data have shown very large scatter in both A_V_and d. Analyses of the extinction-corrected colour-magnitude diagrams suggest ages between 3 and 60 million years for the stars in Tr 15 and between less than 1 and 6 million years for Tr 14 and Tr 16. A small number of infrared-excess stars were found in Tr 16 and Tr 14 but not in Tr 15. The distribution of stars in Tr 14 seen in the near-infrared suggests that this cluster is partially embedded in a molecular cloud. This molecular cloud extends towards the west reaching its highest density, marked by a CO peak emission, some three arcmin to the south-west of the nucleus of Tr 14. The rich ultraviolet field created by the Tr 14 stars ionizes most of the visible HII region in its vicinity and most of the radio HII region Car I. Evidence is found of ionization fronts leading into the molecular cloud, which appears to be "wrapping" the Tr 14 cluster. Deep JHK images of the Car I region reveal the presence of an embedded stellar population illuminating a large infrared reflection nebula. It includes at least one O9-B0 star associated with an ultracompact HII region. Nebulous 2.2{mu}m emission from three of the mid-infrared sources in the Tr 14 region is also found.

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- In this paper we present and analyze CCD UBVRI photometry in the region of the three young open clusters NGC 3114, Collinder 228, and vdB-Hagen 99, located in the Carina spiral feature. NGC 3114 lies in the outskirts of the Carina nebula. We found 7 star members in a severely contaminated field, and obtain a distance of 950pc and an age less than 3x10^8^yrs. Collinder 228 is a younger cluster (8x10^6^yrs), located in front of the Carina nebula complex, for which we identify 11 new members and suggest that 30% of the stars are probably binaries. As for vdB-Hagen 99, we add 4 new members, confirming that it is a nearby cluster located at 500pc from the Sun and projected toward the direction of the Carina spiral arm. Observations were conducted at La Silla on April 13-16, 1996, with the 0.92m ESO-Dutch telescope.

- Description:
- The UBVRI images of 26 bright spiral galaxies were decomposed in disks and bulges. Correlations of the resulting structural parameters are investigated, giving clues to the formation history of the bulges. We confirm that the large and bright bulges of early-type spirals are similar to elliptical galaxies. They were probably formed prior to the disks in a monolithic collapse or via early mergers. Late-type spirals have tiny and faint bulges with disk-like profiles. These bulges were probably formed after the disk in secular evolution processes, e.g. from a disk instability. The comparison of the color indices of corresponding spirals and bulges with population synthesis computations support above formation scenarios.

- Description:
- In this paper we present the Johnson-Cousins UBVR CCD photometry of the stars in King 2, an old open cluster towards the galactic anticenter. We have obtained the colour-magnitude diagram, the colour excess, the reddening, an estimate of the metallicity, and the distance modulus. The comparison of the observational colour-magnitude diagram with the theoretical simulations based on stellar models with convective overshoot shows that a major revision of the model structure is required. To this aim, we explore the possibility that the formulation of convective overshoot for stars in the mass range 1 to 2M_{sun}_ ought to be different from the one currently in use. The point of major uncertainty that we see to affect the stars in this domain is whether or not convective overshoot may erode the gradient in molecular weight in the regions surrounding the convective core. We find that models, in which this is not allowed to occur, better fit the overall morphology of the colour-magnitude diagram of King 2. In addition to this, analyzing the width of the main sequence band we suggest that a significant fraction of the stars are members of binary systems, and evaluate the range spanned by their mass ratios. Finally, we derive the luminosity function and the mass function for the main sequence stars of the cluster.

- ubvy photometry of LMC/SMC B stars
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/364/455
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The individual reddenings for B stars in two fields in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and two fields in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are determined by means of Stroemgren uvby CCD photometry. In both LMC fields we find a foreground reddening of E(B-V)=0.085+/-0.02, and for the SMC fields we find E(B-V)=0.070+/-0.02. In addition to the foreground reddening we find contributions from reddening intrinsically in the Clouds up to E(B-V)~0.21. The intrinsic contribution is not correlated with position within our ~6'x4.5' CCD fields but varies in an essentially random way. Unless the reddening is measured for a particular object, it will be uncertain by +/-0.035 (best case, far from the central bars) to more than +/-0.10 (close to the central bars). The Stroemgren uvby photometry has been used to derive metallicities for GK giant stars in the observed fields. Adopting average reddenings we obtain mean metallicities which are consistent with those found from spectroscopic studies of F and G supergiants (Westerlund, 1997, The Magellanic Clouds, Cambridge University Press), but with a considerable scatter in the derived metallicities, from [Fe/H]=~-2.0 to [Fe/H]>0. A significant fraction of the scatter is, however, due to reddening variations rather than being intrinsic. The possible existence of high metallicity stars should be investigated further using spectroscopic methods.

- Description:
- Photometry on the UVI system has been performed on the resolved stellar content of the blue compact dwarf galaxy UGC 6456 using Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. The resulting color-magnitude diagram (CMD) goes to about V=27.5 and reveals not only a young population of blue main-sequence stars and blue and red supergiants, but also an older evolved population of red giants and a fairly well represented asymptotic giant branch. The distance to the galaxy is estimated from the tip of the red giant branch to be 4.5Mpc, placing it about 1.5Mpc farther away than the major members of the M81 Group, with which it is usually associated. The youngest stars are generally associated with H ii regions shown on our Halpha image and are largely confined to the 745pc field of our PC images. A comparison of their distribution in the CMD with theoretical isochrones suggests ages from 4 to 10Myr. The population of older stars is found throughout all WFPC2 camera fields and seems to show an elliptical distribution with an aspect ratio of about 2.4 and an exponential falloff in surface density with distance from a center of symmetry that is not far from the centroid of the youngest stars. Theoretical modeling of the CMD at a metallicity of Z=0.001 suggests star formation in the age interval 1-2Gyr, a strong burst in the interval 600-800Myr, and a lower rate of star formation up to the present. The evidence is compatible with a scenario beginning with the formation of a population of low-metallicity stars, enriching a major residual of prestellar material that subsequently fueled an active episode of star formation. That burst of star formation must have been particularly spectacular and may be related to the activity we now see in the distant blue dwarf galaxies revealed in deep imaging.
