Mass Segregation and Tidal Tails of the Globular Cluster NGC 7492
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present a wide field CCD photometric study of Galactic globular cluster NGC 7492. The derived VR color-magnitude diagram extends down to about 3.5 mag below the cluster main sequence turn-off. The field covers 42' X 42' about 3 times larger than the known tidal radius of this cluster. The sample of cluster member candidates obtained by CMD-mask process has been used to construct luminosity and mass functions and surface density map. NGC 7492 has a very flat mass function with very little variation in the slope with the distance from the cluster center. However, there is a clear evidence for the increase of the slope of the mass function from inner to outer regions, indicating a mass segregation of the cluster. The surface density map of NGC 7492 shows extensions toward the Galactic anticenter (northeast) and northwest from the cluster center. A comparison of luminosity function for stars in the tails with that for stars within the tidal radius suggests that the extensions shown in the surface density map could be a real feature. The overall shape of NGC 7492 is significantly flattened. If the flattened shape of the NGC 7492 is caused by its rotation, Galactic tidal field must have given important influences, since the initial rotation would have been almost completely removed by dynamical relaxation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
