Horizontal branch stars in NGC 1851

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The chemical composition of horizontal branch (HB) stars might help to clarify the formation history of individual globular clusters (GCs).

Description

We studied the Na-O anti-correlation from moderately high resolution spectra for 91 stars on the bimodal HB of NGC 1851; in addition we observed 13 stars on the lower red giant branch (RGB). In our HB sample, 35 stars are on the blue HB (BHB), one is an RR Lyrae, and 55 stars are on the red HB (RHB).

The ratio of BHB to RHB stars is close to the total in the cluster (35 and 54%, respectively), while RR Lyrae variables are under-represented, (they are ~12% of the NGC 1851 stars). We also derived abundances for He and N in BHB stars.
