Age Determination of Six Intermediate-age SMC Star Clusters with HST/ACS
Katharina Glatt, Eva K. Grebel, Elena Sabbi +9
We present a photometric analysis of the star clusters Lindsay 1, Kron 3, NGC339, NGC416, Lindsay 38, and NGC419 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), observed with the Hubble Space…
Comparing CN and CH Line Strengths in a Homogeneous Spectroscopic Sample of 8 Galactic Globular Clusters
Andrea Kayser, Michael Hilker, Eva K. Grebel +1
Our work focuses on the understanding of the origin of CNO-anomalies, which have been detected in several Galactic globular clusters (GCs). This study is based on a homogeneous dat…
Medium resolution spectroscopy in Omega Centauri: abundances of 400 subgiant and turn-off region
Andrea Kayser, Michael Hilker, Tom Richtler +1
Medium resolution spectra of more than 400 subgiant and turn-off region stars in Omega Centauri were analysed. The observations were performed at the VLT/Paranal with FORS2/MXU. In…
The Age-Metallicity Relation of the SMC
A. Kayser, E. K. Grebel, D. R. Harbeck +4
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the only dwarf galaxy in the Local Group known to have formed and preserved populous star clusters continuously over the past 12 Gyr. These clus…
Analysis of medium resolution spectra by automated methods - application to M55 and omega Centauri
P. G. Willemsen, M. Hilker, A. Kayser +1
We have employed feedforward neural networks trained on synthetic spectra in the range 3800 to 5600 AA with resolutions of 2-3 AA to determine metallicities from spectra of about 1…
The extended star formation history of omega Centauri
Michael Hilker, Andrea Kayser, Tom Richtler +1
For the first time, the abundances of a large sample of subgiant and turn-off region stars in omega Centauri have been measured, the data base being medium resolution spectroscopy…
