RESUMEN
Presentamos observaciones CCD del cúmulo galáctico M15 en los filtros B y V. El cúmulo fue cubierto razonablemente bien excepto en su parte norte, en donde nuestras observaciones presentan falta de datos. Se obtuvo el diagrama HertzsprungRussell (HR) para cada una de las regiones observadas y posteriormente se produjo un diagrama HR combinado que contiene más de 3000 estrellas. Generamos un Diagrama Color Magnitud (CMD) limpio y una Línea Súper Fiduciaria (SFL). La aplicación de varios métodos y el ajuste de isócronas nos lleva a obtener los siguientes valores para la metalicidad [Fe/H]M15 ~ 2.16 ± 0.10, el enrojecimiento E(B V)M15~ 0.11 ± 0.03, y un módulo de distancia de [(mM)0]M15 ~ 15.03.
ABSTRACT
We present CCD observations of the galactic globular cluster M15, in the B and V filters. The cluster was reasonably covered, except in its northern region where our observations present a gap. We obtained a HertzsprungRussell (HR) diagram for each region observed, and later we produced a combined HR diagram containing more than 3000 stars. We generate a clean Colour Magnitude Diagram (CMD) and a Super Fiducial Line (SFL). Application of several methods and isochrone fitting leads us to obtain values for the metallicity [Fe/H]M15~ 2.16 ± 0.10, the reddening E(B V)M15~ 0.11 ± 0.03, and a distance modulus of [(mM)0]M15 ~ 15.03.
Key Words: Galaxy: halo globular clusters: general globular clusters: individual (NGC 7078) techniques: photometric.
