  • The Ellipticities of Globular Clusters in the Andromeda Galaxy
    ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS MAY I 1996, PAGE 447 SUPPLEMENT SERIES Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. Ser. 116, 447-461 (1996) The ellipticities of globular clusters in the Andromeda galaxy A. Staneva1, N. Spassova2 and V. Golev1 1 Department of Astronomy, Faculty of Physics, St. Kliment Okhridski University of Sofia, 5 James Bourchier street, BG-1126 Sofia, Bulgaria 2 Institute of Astronomy, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 72 Tsarigradsko chauss´ee, BG-1784 Sofia, Bulgaria Received March 15; accepted October 4, 1995 Abstract. — The projected ellipticities and orientations of 173 globular clusters in the Andromeda galaxy have been determined by using isodensity contours and 2D Gaussian fitting techniques. A number of B plates taken with the 2 m Ritchey-Chretien-coud´e reflector of the Bulgarian National Astronomical Observatory were digitized and processed for each cluster. The derived ellipticities and orientations are presented in the form of a catalogue?. The projected ellipticities of M 31 GCs lie between 0.03 0.24 with mean valueε ¯=0.086 0.038. It may be concluded that the most globular clusters in the Andromeda galaxy÷ are quite spherical. The derived± orientations do not show a preference with respect to the center of M 31. Some correlations of the ellipticity with other clusters parameters are discussed. The ellipticities determined in this work are compared with those in other Local Group galaxies. Key words: globular clusters: general — galaxies: individual: M 31 — galaxies: star clusters — catalogs 1. Introduction Bergh & Morbey (1984), and Kontizas et al. (1989), have shown that the globulars in LMC are markedly more ellip- Representing the oldest of all stellar populations, the glo- tical than those in our Galaxy.

  • Globular Cluster Club
    Globular Cluster Observing Club Raleigh Astronomy Club Version 1.2 22 June 2007 Introduction Welcome to the Globular Cluster Observing Club! This list is intended to give you an appreciation for the deep-sky objects known as globular clusters. There are 153 known Milky Way Globular Clusters of which the entire list can be found on the seds.org site listed below. To receive your Gold level we will only have you do sixty of them along with one challenge object from a list of three. Challenge objects being the extra-galactic globular Mayall II (G1) located in the Andromeda Galaxy, Palomar 4 in Ursa Major, and Omega Centauri a magnificent southern globular. The first two challenge your scope and viewing ability while Omega Centauri challenges your ability to plan for a southern view. A Silver level is also available and will be within the range of a 4 inch to 8 inch scope depending upon seeing conditions. Many of the objects are found in the Messier, Caldwell, or Herschel catalogs and can springboard you into those clubs. The list is meant for your viewing enrichment and edification of these types of clusters. It is also meant to enhance your viewing skills. You are encouraged to view the clusters with a critical eye toward the cluster’s size, visual magnitude, resolvability, concentration and colors. The Astronomical League’s Globular Clusters Club book “Guide to the Globular Cluster Observing Club” is an excellent resource for this endeavor. You will be asked to either sketch the cluster or give a short description of your visual impression, citing seeing conditions, time, date, cluster’s size, magnitude, resolvability, concentration, and any star colors.

  • Formation of Giant Globular Cluster G1 and the Origin of the M 31 Stellar Halo

Chiba2 1 School of Physics, University of New South Wales, Sydney 2052, Australia 2 Astronomical Institute, Tohoku University, Sendai, 980-8578, Japan e-mail: [email protected] Received 20 September 2003 / Accepted 21 October 2003 Abstract. We demonstrate that globular cluster G1 could have been formed by tidal interaction between M 31 and a nucleated dwarf galaxy (dE,N). Our fully self-consistent numerical simulations show that during tidal interaction between M 31 and G1’s 7 progenitor dE,N with MB ∼−15 mag and its nucleus mass of ∼10 M, the dark matter and the outer stellar envelope of the dE,N are nearly completely stripped whereas the nucleus can survive the tidal stripping because of its initially compact nature. The naked nucleus (i.e., G1) has orbital properties similar to those of its progenitor dE,N. The stripped stars form a metal-poor ([Fe/H] ∼−1) stellar halo around M 31 and its structure and kinematics depend strongly on the initial orbit of G1’s progenitor dE,N. We suggest that the observed large projected distance of G1 from M 31 (∼40 kpc) can give some strong constraints on the central density of the dark matter halo of dE,N. We discuss these results in the context of substructures of M 31’s stellar halo recently revealed by Ferguson et al.

But I like the im- pression globular star clusters leave on first-time stargazers. The visual impact of Saturn or Jupiter is immediate, but with globular clusters there is this delay in recognizing what you’re looking at and then truly seeing it and then “Look at all those STARS!” I’m sure you’ve all had the opportunity to observe globular clusters in our Milky Way Galaxy (M13, M5, M3, M15 etc.), but have you ever considered looking for one in ANOTHER GALAXY? Yes, they are very far away and even the brightest is less than 12 magnitude. So why spend time searching for some- thing that pretty much just looks like another star field? In my case it’s the challenge of seeing something like M13 but immensely further away.

Fahlman, & Harvey B. Richer Department of Physics & Astronomy #129–2219 Main Mall University of British Columbia Vancouver, B.C., Canada V6T 1Z4 ABSTRACT We present deep (V ' 27) V-andI-band stellar photometry obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope’s WFPC2 in two fields in the M31 halo. These fields are located 320 and 500 from the center of M31 approximately along the SE minor axis at the locations of the M31 globular star clusters G302 and G312 respectively. The M31 halo luminosity functions are not consistent with a single high-metallicity population but are consistent with a mix of 50% to 75% metal-rich stars and 25% to 50% metal-poor stars. This is consistent with the observed red giant branch morphology, the luminosity of the horizontal branch, and the presence of RR Lyrae stars in the halo of M31. The morphology of the red giant branch indicates a spread in metallicity of −2 ∼< [m/H] ∼< −0.2 with the majority of stars having [m/H] '−0.6, making the halo of M31 significantly more metal-rich than either the Galactic halo or the M31 globular cluster system. The horizontal branch is dominated by a red clump similar to the horizontal branch of the metal-rich Galactic globular cluster 47 Tuc but a small number of blue horizontal branch stars are visible, supporting the conclusion that there is a metal-poor component to the stellar population of the halo of M31.
