U,V photometry in M2 (NGC 7089)

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present U, V photometry of the globular cluster M2.

Description

Stars within 1' and outside of 4' from the cluster center are excluded from the CMD to reduce blending effects and the field star contamination, respectively. We imposed on all stars the selection limits of CHI<2.0 and -1<SHARP<1 on DAOPHOT II photometric parameters.

To select a sample of well-measured stars we have followed the procedure given in Lardo et al. (2012A&A...541A.141L), Sect. 5.1. M2 photometry displays an anomalous branch beyond the red edge of the main body of the RGB. The difference in color between stars belonging to this structure and normal RGB stars is quite large (of the order of 0.2-0.3mag, well above the typical measurement errors) and extends down to the SGB region.

There may be a second group of stars that are 0.3mag redder with respect to this sequence and can possibly be more, anomalous RGB stars. The observations were carried out during the nights of 2010 July 15 at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) located in La Palma, Canary Islands (Spain), with he DOLORES camera. The DOLORES camera offers a field of view of 8.6'x8.6' with a 0.252"/pix scale.

We obtained images of the cluster in the standard Johnson U and V filters for a total of 540s shifted in 3 single exposures in each filter. The seeing condition were average during (~1.2-1.3") during the observing night.
