我们提出了暗能量调查发现的最遥远的矮星,波江座II(Eri II)的深度成像。我们的麦哲伦/Megacam恒星测光比以前的工作更深,使我们能够确认一个星团的存在,其位置与Eri II的中心一致。这使得室女座II,M V =-7.1,是已知拥有(可能是中央)星团的最不明亮的星系。星团的部分解析度,在M V = − 3.5时,它的光度占到了Eri II的0.44%。我们推导出更新的结构参数为埃里II,它有一个半光半径为280秒差距,并延长(埃里0.48)在一个测量的距离D为370千秒差距。颜色-星等图显示一个蓝色的扩展水平分支,以及一个填充较少的红色水平分支。中心集中的恒星比旧的主序星的亮度更高,暗示可能有一个中间年龄(103 Gyr)的恒星群;或者,这些来源可能是蓝离散星。深层绿色银行望远镜对Eri II的观测显示没有相关的原子气体。
We present deep imaging of the most distant dwarf discovered by the Dark Energy Survey, Eridanus II (Eri II). Our Magellan/Megacam stellar photometry reaches ∼3 mag deeper than previous work and allows us to confirm the presence of a stellar cluster whose position is consistent with Eri II’s center. This makes Eri II, at M V = − 7.1 , the least luminous galaxy known to host a (possibly central) cluster. The cluster is partially resolved, and at M V = − 3.5 it accounts for ∼4% of Eri II’s luminosity. We derive updated structural parameters for Eri II, which has a half-light radius of ∼280 pc and is elongated (ϵ ∼ 0.48) at a measured distance of D ∼ 370 kpc. The color–magnitude diagram displays a blue, extended horizontal branch, as well as a less populated red horizontal branch. A central concentration of stars brighter than the old main-sequence turnoff hints at a possible intermediate-age (∼3 Gyr) population; alternatively, these sources could be blue straggler stars. A deep Green Bank Telescope observation of Eri II reveals no associated atomic gas.
