Determining the Membership of Globular Cluster, M2 with APOGEE Data VA-NC Alliance Summer Research Program The Leadership Alliance National Symposium July 29 th, 2017 BY: ZANIYAH DOCK

What s the point? We are trying to understand the building blocks of the Milky Way Galaxy. Star clusters are physically associated groups of stars, held together permanently or temporarily by their mutual gravitational attraction. They help us: Explore models of stellar evolution and the star formation process Measure the age and evolution of the Galaxy This project specializes in a specific type of star cluster, Globular Clusters.

What is a Globular Cluster? And why use them? Globular Clusters are a type of star cluster. Globular Clusters are made up of relatively old stars. Known Globular clusters in our galaxy are about 147. Located in a almost nearly spherical distribution, being the most visible part of the Galactic Halo. Their Importance: We expect that Globular Clusters are simple stellar systems, where stars are born from a birth cloud of a given metal content. Therefore we can analyze this metal content, as well as a different parameters in order to determine the membership a star should have if belonging to a particular cluster.

M2 National Optical Astronomy Observatory

How we re determining this membership. Parameters: Log g: Surface gravity can give us how big the star is [Fe/H]: iron to hydrogen ratio [Alpha/M]: ratio of helium captured elements to metallicity Radial Velocity: whether the star is moving toward or away from us

Conclusions Application (Why use this project or experiment) : Tidal Disruption and being able to observe potential examples of a star cluster being pulled apart. This project can be isn t specific to one star system. Any star system can be used in this manner. The next step of this project would be to further analyze this cluster with more parameters, given that it is a good candidate of Tidal Disruption.
