Study of Integrated Spectra of Four Globular Clusters in M31
arXiv:2110.10502 · doi:10.1134/S199034132104009X
Abstract
The results of determining the metallicity, age, helium mass fraction (Y) and abundances of the elements C, N, Mg, Ca, Mn, Ti and Cr by moderate resolution spectra for four globular clusters in the galaxy M 31: Bol 6, Bol 20, Bol 45 and Bol 50 are presented. The chemical composition for Bol 20 and Bol 50, and Y for four clusters are determined for the first time. The spectra of the studied objects were obtained with the 6-meter telescope of the SAO RAS in 2020. All the clusters under study turned out to be older than 11 Gyrs. The determined metallicities [Fe/H] are in the range from -1.1 to -0.75 dex. They are lower than the metallicity of stars of the M 31 halo at a given distance from the galactic center (R_M31 < 10 kpc). The abundances of the elements of the alpha-process [alpha/Fe] = ([O/Fe] + [Mg/Fe] + [Ca/Fe])/3 of the four clusters correspond to those of the stars of the inner halo of M31.
