HST/ACS VI data of M31 globular clusters

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Description

With the aim of increasing the sample of M31 clusters for which a colour-magnitude diagram is available, we searched the HST archive for ACS images containing objects included in the Revised Bologna Catalogue of M31 globular clusters (RBC Version 3.5 available at: bo.astro.it/M31). Sixty-three such objects were found. We used the ACS images to confirm or revise their classification and were able to obtain useful CMDs for 11 old globular clusters and 6 luminous young clusters.

We obtained simultaneous estimates of the distance, reddening, and metallicity of old clusters by comparing their observed field-decontaminated CMDs with a grid of template clusters of the Milky Way. We estimated the age of the young clusters by fitting with theoretical isochrones.
