Research paper thumbnail of Star Classification Possibilities with BROAD-BAND Photometric Systems. I. The Sloan System

Various two-color and interstellar reddening-free Q, Q diagrams are analyzed. Some color indices of the system are good temperature indicators, however, they can be applied only for the unreddened stars or the reddening should be known. Temperatures and gravities of the reddened stars can be determined by using multidimensional space formed by several interstellar reddening-free Q-parameters. The accuracy of photometric classification is very different in various temperature and gravity ranges. When expressed in spectral classes, the classification accuracy in temperatures is from ±1 to ±10 spectral subclasses and in gravities from ±0.1 to ±3.0 dex. The highest accuracy of spectral classes and gravities is for late B, late F, early G and all M subclasses.

Research paper thumbnail of Open Cluster IC 1369 and Its Vicinity: Multicolor Photometry and Gaia DR2 Astrometry

Employing the Gaia DR2 coordinates, parallaxes, and proper motions, 143 cluster members are found having cluster membership probabilities ≥0.75. The hottest stars of the evolved main sequence are of spectral class B9. Distances to the cluster, determined by two methods based on the Gaia parallaxes, are 3280 and 3370 pc with an uncertainty of 400–500 pc. Employing the physical HR diagram with the coordinates mathrmlogL/Lodot\\mathrm{log}L/{L}_{\\odot }mathrmlogL/Lodot versus mathrmlogTmathrmeff\\mathrm{log}{T}_{\\mathrm{eff}}mathrmlogTmathrmeff and the Padova isochrones, the cluster age is found to be between 300 and 350 Myr. Among the cluster members we identified six red giants of spectral classes G5–G8 and luminosities II–III, 17 Am stars, one Ap star, and one B5 blue straggler. The extinction shows a steep rise up to ~2.0 mag at 300–700 pc, caused by the extensions of the dust cloud LDN 970 and the Great Cygnus Rift, and up to ~2.5 mag at the edge of the Perseus arm at 3.0 kpc. The extinction is almost constant between 0.9 and 2.5 kpc from the Sun. The average extinction of the cluster members is 2.54 mag. A systematic error of color excesses found in the Argonaut calculator results is discussedMokytojų rengimo institutasVilniaus universiteto astronomijos observatorijaVytauto Didžiojo universiteta

Research paper thumbnail of Metallicities of intermediate-age and old star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009

The cluster sample covers the LMC bar and disk to a distance of ~2 kpc from the LMC center. The derived cluster metallicity distribution spans a range of [Fe/H] = +0.0 . . . 1.4 and is similar to the metallicity distribution of field stars. We find that the average cluster metallicities in certain fields of the LMC bar and disk may be different, but there seems to be no compelling evidence for a global cluster metallicity gradient in the LMC.

Research paper thumbnail of Properties of Red Giant Branches of Star Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds and Their Relation with Cluster Metallicity. II. Mean Photometric Colors of Cluster RGBs

The new calibrations are derived using a sample of intermediate age (1--8 Gyr) clusters in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, with the JHKs photometry taken from the SIRIUS photometric survey of the Magellanic Clouds. Cluster metallicities are literature data, obtained either from the high resolution or infrared calcium triplet spectroscopy of individual RGB stars. We find systematic differences between the RGB color vs. metallicity relations derived in this work and those determined by Valenti et al. (2004), the latter ones obtained for a sample of old Galactic globular clusters. In terms of age, this discrepancy corresponds to ˜ 5 Gyr and therefore can be attributed to the age difference between the two cluster samples used in the derivation of the corresponding RGB color vs. metallicity relations.

Research paper thumbnail of Kurucz model energy distributions: a comparison with real stars. II. Metal-deficient stars

The best coincidence of the synthetic and observed energy curves is found for BHB stars. The largest differences are found in the ultraviolet wavelengths for subdwarfs and cool MDGs. The influence of errors of effective temperatures, gravities and metallicities is estimated.
