About: Kim 2

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Kim 2, also known as Indus I, is a distant globular cluster in the constellation of Indus. It was discovered by Dongwon Kim of the Stromlo Milky Way Satellite Survey run by the Australian National University using the SkyMapper telescope images. Since it was so faint it needed examination by more powerful telescopes like those at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. It is possibly the core of a dwarf galaxy that has been swallowed up by the Milky Way. This cluster is unusual in that it has far fewer stars than most globular clusters. Kim 2 is more enriched in metals than most other outer globular clusters, suggesting that it formed later.

  • Kim 2, also known as Indus I, is a distant globular cluster in the constellation of Indus. It was discovered by Dongwon Kim of the Stromlo Milky Way Satellite Survey run by the Australian National University using the SkyMapper telescope images. Since it was so faint it needed examination by more powerful telescopes like those at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. It is possibly the core of a dwarf galaxy that has been swallowed up by the Milky Way. This cluster is unusual in that it has far fewer stars than most globular clusters. Kim 2 is more enriched in metals than most other outer globular clusters, suggesting that it formed later. The cluster is 105 kpc away from Earth. The half light radius is 12.8 pc. The metallicity [Fe/H] is about −1.0. (en)
  • Kim 2 é um aglomerado globular distante. Foi descoberto por Dongwon Kim do Milky Stromlo Milky Way Satellite Survey gerido pela Universidade Nacional da Austrália usando imagens do telescópio . Por ser tão fraco foi necessário ser examinado por telescópios mais poderosos, como os que estão no Observatório Interamericano de Cerro Tololo. É possivelmente o núcleo de uma galáxia anã que foi engolido pela Via Láctea. Este aglomerado é incomum, pois tem muito menos estrelas do que a maioria dos aglomerados globulares. Kim 2 possui um índice mais elevado de metais do que a maioria dos outros aglomerados globulares exteriores, sugerindo que se formou mais tardiamente. (pt)
