True fossils (?) That formed most of their stars prior to reionization;
Polluted fossils with star formation continuing beyond reionization;
Survivors That largely formed their stars after reionization.

Ultra-faint dwarfsUltra-faint dwarfs
The ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies have luminosities of MV > −7 (M~10,000 solar masses).The internal kinematics reveal that UFD have mass to light ratio M/L>100, hence they are dark-matter dominated.

80 % of stars formed by z=6 and 100% of stars formed by z=3.The similarly ancient populations suggest that star formation in the smallest dark-matter sub-halos was suppressed by a global outside influence (e.g. the reionization).

If we consider the two components of an unresolved binary system and indicate with m1, m2, F1, and F2 their magnitudes and fluxes.
The binary system will appear as a single point-like source with magnitude:
Indeed:
m1=-2.5 log(F1)m2=-2.5 log(F2)
mbin=-2.5 log(F1+F2) =-2.5 log[F1 (1+F2/F1)] =-2.5 log(F1) -2.5 log(1+F2/F1) = m1-2.5 log(1+F2/F1)

In the case of a simple stellar population the fluxes are related to the stellar masses, M1, M2.
As a consequence, the luminosity of the binary system will depend on the mass ratio q=M2/M1
For simplicity we assume: M1≥M2 0≤q≤1

Equal-mass binaries are binary systems formed by two stars withthe same mass M1=M2.
In a simple stellar population: m1=m2, F1=F2
As a consequence: mbin= m1-2.5 log(1+F2/F1) = m1-2.5 log(1+1) = m1-2.5 log(2) = m1-0.752
The binary system will appear0.752 mag brighter than eachsingle star.

As an example, the V and I magnitudes of two equal-mass binaries are:
Vbin=V1-0.752Ibin=I1-0.752
Their color is
Vbin-Ibin=(V1-0.752)-(I1-0.752)=V1-I1
The binary system composed of equal-mass stars has the same color as each single star.

The fraction of electrons that are successfully moved from one pixel to another during read-out is described by the charge transfer efficiency (CTE).
Normal charge transfer efficiencies are 0.99999 – 0.999999, (one photoelectron is lost for every 100000 to 1000000 shifts!)
If the CTE is only 0.999, you couldn't read most of the CCD.
CCDs that have a very low CTE will leave streaks which are caused by charge/electrons being left behind after a transfer.

Point-Spread Function PhotometryPoint-Spread Function PhotometryAll the point-like sources imaged by the telescope system can be represented by a point-spread function (PSF).
The PSF gives ‘the shape’ of a star on the detector.
Its amplitude will scale linearly with the brightness of the star forming the image.

In principle the receipe to derive the PSF model is simple:
– we must identify stars in our image– determine the sky under the stars– use isolate stars to derive the PSF model

To measure stellar fluxes and positions we must fit the PSF model to all the star observed in the image. (allowing for the fact that the stellar image sits on top of the sky).

The ACS survey of Galactic Globular ClustersThe ACS survey of Galactic Globular Clusters
A. P. Milone Padova 2020
We obtained homogeneous photometry of stars in 68 Globular Clusters, from the RGB tip to ~0.2 solar-mass MS stars through the F606W and F814W filters of ACS/WFC

Results indicate a rapid chemical enrichment in the inner Galaxy and suggest prolonged GC formation in the outer halo.
The latter is consistent with the outer halo GCs forming in dwarf galaxies and later being accreted by the Milky Way.

Homework:Homework:
– Derive age, distance and reddening of Horologium I*.
– Compare your results with those by Brown et al. (2014) based on six UFDs and those from Dotter et al.(2010) based on GCs.
– Try to address the following ‘big questions’ of stellar astrophysics:
Do true-fossil galaxies exist ?Is the UFD ‘Horologium I’ a true-fossil galaxy?
* You can assume [Fe/H]=-2.49, and the following relations for reddening law (from A. Dotter, private communication):AF606W=2.8782 E(B-V) AF814W=1.8420 E(B-V)
