The Spectroscopic and Photometric Study of a Star Cluster Sample in Andromeda Halo

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Halo star clusters serve as vital tracers for the formation and evolution of the Andromeda galaxy. In this work, we present physical parameters for 29 M31 halo star clusters, derived from a combination of spectroscopic and photometric data. Low-resolution spectra were acquired using the Beijing Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera spectrograph on the National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences Xinglong 2.16 m telescope. For the photometric analysis, we utilized u SC and v SAGE bands from the SAGE survey, complemented by archival data from Galaxy Evolution Explorer (near-ultraviolet and far-ultraviolet), PAN-STARRS ( grizy ), and the Two Micron All Sky Survey ( JHK ). Ages and metallicities were determined via ULySS (Vazdekis et al. and pegase-hr) simple stellar population model and the G. Bruzual & S. Charlot stellar population synthesis models. The derived parameters show good agreement with literature values. Notably, for three of these clusters, this study represents the first combined photometric and spectroscopic analysis.
