RI photometry of C stars in NGC 147

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have imaged a 42'x28' field centered on the spheroidal galaxy NGC 147 to study its AGB population and determine the main structural properties of this M31 companion.

Description

This field was observed through two broadband (R and I) and two narrowband (CN and TiO) filters, following the standard approach of our systematic survey of C stars in nearby galaxies. We identified 288 C stars in NGC 147.

The average I-magnitude of such sample of C stars is <I>=20.31 with {sigma}=0.40. If we adopt a distance modulus {mu}0=24.39, derived from the luminosity of both the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) and the horizontal branch (HB) by Han et al. (1997, Cat. <J/AJ/113/1001>, we conclude that the average absolute I-magnitude of C stars is <M_I_>=-4.39, thus slightly under luminous with respect to what was found for other galaxies in our survey.
