The Metallicity Distribution in the Outer Halo of M33
Abstract
We present the results of deep I- and V-band photometry of the halo stars near the southeast minor axis of the Local Group spiral galaxy M33. An (I,V-I) color-magnitude diagram distinctly reveals the red giant branch stars at the bright end of the color-magnitude diagram. A luminosity function in the I band that uses a background field to remove the contaminating effects of Galactic foreground stars and distant, unresolved galaxies reveals the …
