Hst Proposal Id #8296 Stellar Populations In Clusters

Scientific paper

We propose to study six massive blue clusters in M31. U, B, V photometry will provide important data on the stellar population of these clusters, a type virtually unknown in the Milky Way. Comparison of the cluster CMDs with models will allow us to age-date them and to explore the evolutionary parameters, such as stellar mass loss, that are more difficult to study in our Galaxy's much more sparsely-poulated young clusters, which have very few evolved stars in any given cluster. Photometry of the supergiant stars will allow us to constrain the metallicity, one of the probable parameters relevant to the formation of this type of massive cluster.
