Masses and photometry of 304 M31 old star clusters
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
This paper presents CCD multicolor photometry for 304 old star clusters in the nearby spiral galaxy M31, from which the photometry of 55 star clusters is first obtained.
Description
The observations were carried out as a part of the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut Multicolor Sky Survey from 1995 February to 2008 March, using 15 intermediate-band filters covering 3000-10000{AA}. Detailed comparisons show that our photometry is in agreement with previous measurements.
Based on the ages and metallicities from Caldwell et al. and the photometric measurements here, we estimated the clusters' masses by comparing their multicolor photometry with stellar population synthesis models. The results show that the sample clusters have masses between ~3x10^4^M_{sun}_ and ~10^7^M_{sun}_ with a peak of ~4x10^5^_M{sun}_. The masses here are in good agreement with those in previous studies.

Combined with the masses of young star clusters of M31 from Wang et al., we find that the peak mass of the old clusters is 10 times that of young clusters.
