A call for stars in 47 Tucanae cluster

Post #1by Cham » 22.12.2004, 22:42

There's a nice spherical globular cluster near our galaxy, at 13370 ly from the Milky Way : the 47 Tucanae globular cluster. We should put stars in it, as it's well under the 16 kly limit of Celestia. Where can we find all the stars data (NAME, RA, DEC, SpectralType, AbsMag) for this cluster ? I don't care about distance, because we could simply gives a random value around the mean 13370 ly (the globular center).

This is the closest we could get, in Celestia, to have another galaxy full of stars !

I tried Simbad, but I'm not very comfortable with it, and it seems a lot of data (AbsMagn, SpectralType) are missing there.

Any suggestion ?

Symaski, this is just the nebula info (but thanks anyway). I already have an addon which put it as a gray "blob" in Celestia. Now the problem is to put as many stars as we can in it to populate the blob.

In French :

Symaski, merci de l'information. Mais j'ai d?©j?  un addon qui montre ce amas globulaire comme une boule grise et floue (une galaxie, quoi!). Le probl??me maintenant est d'ajouter autant d'?©toiles que possible pour "meubler" cette petite galaxie.
