  • 우리 은하계내 field RR Lyrae 변광성의 관측자료(GCVS 4th ed. )의 특성과 이들의 공간분포 및 증원소함량 분포를 조사하였다 이들의 공간분포에서 scale height 가 H = 0.6 kpc 인 원반(thick)형과 H = 2.2 kpc 인 헬로형의 두 성분으로 나타난다. 그리고 증원소함량의 은하중심거리와 은하정면거리에 따른 변화율은 각각 d[Fe/H]/dr = $-0.013\;{\sim}\;-0.020\;/kpc$ ($r\;{\le}\;20\;kpc$), d[Fe/H]/d|Z| = -0.034 /kpc ($|Z|\;{\le}\;10\;kpc$) 이다. 이러한 공간분포와 증원소함량의 기울기 변화는 구상성단의 경우와 비슷하게 이증진화모형을 나타낸다. 그러나 증원소함랑의 빈도분포로 보아 field RR Lyrae 변광성이 모두 구상성단에서 기원되었다고 보기는 어렵다.

  • To study the effects of giant population on dynamical substructures of the central region of NGC 7006, we examine the radial variations of ellipticity and position angle on By stellar photometry using ellipse fitting technique. Total variations of ellipticity and position angle lie in the range $0.02\~0.06\;and\;-10^{\circ}+90^{\circ}$, respectively, from the center out to three times the half light radius. Our ellipse fitting results, after removing giant populations, show that the apparent central dynamical substructures of NGC 7006 are mainly affected by red giant, horizontal branch stars. On the contrary, the contribution of light from subgiant stars to the inner dynamical substructure seems to be insignificant.

  • The variations of the dynamical substructures of NGC 6934 have been investigated by means of performing point spread function stellar photometry and the surface photometry on BV CCD images of NGC 6934. Our results show that overall variations of ellipticity and position angle range in $0.02{\sim}0.08\;and\;-90^{\circ}{\sim}+90^{\circ}$, respectively out to three times the half light radius. The inner ($r_{eff}) substructures of NGC 6934 inferred from the variations of ellipticity and position angle are mainly affected by the bright red giant populations, while the effects of the other giant populations are weaker than those of the bright red giant populations. Horizontal branch populations and faint red giant star populations affect the dynamical substructures of NGC 6934 in the region of $r_h.
