- 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.

- 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).

- Short Name:
- J/A+AS/114/537
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- CCD observations of the open cluster NGC 2453 have been carried out in B, V and I passbands. A total of 356 stars have been observed in a field of about 4'x6' of the sky centred on the cluster. Colour-magnitude diagrams in V, B-V and V, V-I have been generated down to V=20 and for the first time, the unevolved part of the cluster main sequence has been observed. The mean true distance modulus derived from these diagrams is 13.mag 85+/-0.2 yielding a distance of 5.9+/-0.2kpc. A mean age of 25Myr has been derived for the cluster by fitting isochrones. The distance of approximately 6kpc puts the cluster much beyond the planetary nebula NGC 2452 whose largest estimated distance to date is about 3.5kpc. The two are not physically associated.

- CDS
- 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.

- Description:
- The solar-age open cluster M 67 (C0847+ 120, NGC 2682) is a touchstone in studies of the old Galactic disk. Despite its outstanding role, the census of cluster membership for M 67 at fainter magnitudes and their properties are not well-established. Using proprietary and archival ESO data, we have obtained astrometric, photometric, and radial velocities of stars in a 34x33arcmin^2^ field centered on the old open cluster M 67. The two-epoch archival observations separated by 4-years and acquired with the Wide-Field Imager at the 2.2m MPG/ ESO telescope were reduced with our new astrometric techniques, as described in the first paper in this series (Anderson et al., 2006A&A...454.1029A). The same observations served to derive calibrated BVI photometry in M 67. Radial velocities were measured using the archival and new spectroscopic data obtained at the VLT.

- Description:
- CCD BVI photometry of the faint open clusters Berkeley 73, Berkeley 75 and Berkeley 25 are presented. The two latter are previously unstudied clusters to our knowledge. While Berkeley 73 is found to be of intermediate-age (about 1.5Gyr old), Berkeley 75 and Berkeley 25 are old clusters, with ages greater than 3.0Gyr. We provide also estimates of the clusters size. All these clusters lie far away from the Galactic Center, at R_GC_>=16kpc, and quite high on the Galactic plane, at |Z_{sun}_|>=1.5kpc. They are therefore important targets to probe the properties of the structure of the Galaxy in this direction, where the Canis Major over-density has been discovered to be located.

- Description:
- We present BVI photometry of 190 galaxies in the central 4x3deg^2^ region of the Fornax cluster observed with the Michigan Curtis Schmidt Telescope. Results from the Fornax Cluster Spectroscopic Survey (FCSS) and the Flair-II Fornax Surveys have been used to confirm the membership status of galaxies in the Fornax Cluster Catalogue (FCC, Cat. <VII/180>). In our catalogue of 213 member galaxies, 92 (43 per cent) have confirmed radial velocities.

- Description:
- We present CCD observations for the distant northern open star clusters Berkeley 81, Berkeley 99, NGC 6603 and NGC 7044 in BVI photometric passbands. A total of 9900 stars have been observed in fields of about 6x6arcmin^2^ of the sky around the clusters. Colour-magnitude diagrams in V, (B-V) and V, (V-I) have been generated down to V=22mag and, for the first time, such diagrams have been produced for the clusters Berkeley 81 and Berkeley 99. The data serve as a base for the study of mass functions and for comparison with theoretical models. Analysis of the radial distribution of stellar surface density indicates that the radius values for Berkeley 81, Berkeley 99, NGC 6603 and NGC 7044 are 2.7, 2.8, 2.8 and 2.2arcmin respectively. By fitting the latest convective core overshooting isochrones to the colour-magnitude diagram and using its morphological features, reddenings, distances and ages of the star clusters have been determined. Broad but well-defined main sequences with stellar evolutionary effects in the brighter stars are clearly visible in colour-magnitude diagrams of all the clusters under study. Some blue stragglers along with well-developed giant branches and red giant clumps are also clearly seen in all of them. The clusters studied here are located at a distance of ~3 kpc, except for Berkeley 99 which is located at a distance of 4.9kpc. Their linear sizes lie between 3.8 and 8.0pc; E(B-V) values range from 0.3 to 1.0mag, while their ages are between 0.5 and 3.2Gyr. Thus the star clusters studied here are of intermediate and high age but are compact and distant objects.
