ABSTRACT.M31 globular cluster B379 is the first extragalactic cluster whose age was determined by main-sequence photometry. In the main-sequence photometric method, the age of a cluster is obtained by fitting its color-magnitude diagram (CMD) with stellar evolutionary models. However, different stellar evolutionary models use different parameters of stellar evolution, such as range of stellar masses, different opacities and equations of state, and different recipes, and so on. So, it is… Expand

Abstract We determined the age of the M31 globular cluster B379 using isochrones of the Padova stellar evolutionary models. At the same time, the cluster's metal abundance, its distance modulus, andExpand
The Ages of M31 Star Clusters: Spectral Energy Distribution Versus Color-Magnitude Diagram
• Physics
• 2018
It is well-known that fitting the Color Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs) to the theoretical isochrones is the main method to determine star cluster ages. However, when the CMDs are not available, theExpand
