VI Photometry in M54 and Sgr Dwarf Galaxy
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present VI CCD color-magnitude diagrams for the globular cluster M54 and the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy.
Description
These are used to derive the following quantities: [Fe/H] = -1.79 +/- 0.08 for M54 and [Fe/H] = -0.52 +/- 0.09 for Sagittarius. We find a metallicity dispersion of +/- 0.16 dex in M54, and we infer the possible existence of a [Fe/H] ~ -1.3 component in Sagittarius, which may have a metallicity dispersion as well.
The mean reddening in the direction of M54 is E(B-V) = 0.13 +/- 0.02. The distances to M54 and Sagittarius, determined using their horizontal branch magnitudes, are identical to within the uncertainties of existing RR Lyrae luminosity-abundance relations. This, together with positional and radial velocity arguments, suggests that M54 is physically associated with Sagittarius.

We note that M54 is substantially brighter than the globular cluster members of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy, and that the metal abundance of Sagittarius is quite high for its estimated absolute magnitude.
