Constraints on the formation of the globular cluster IC 4499 from multiwavelength photometry★
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present new multiband photometry for the Galactic globular cluster IC 4499 extending well past the main-sequence turn-off in the U, B, V, R, I and DDO 51 bands. This photometry is used to determine that IC 4499 has an age of 12 ± 1 Gyr and a cluster reddening of E(B−V) = 0.22 ± 0.02. Hence, IC 4499 is coeval with the majority of Galactic globular clusters, in contrast to suggestions of a younger age. The density profile of the cluster is observed to not flatten out to at least r∼ 800 arcsec, implying that either the tidal radius of this cluster is larger than previously estimated, or that IC 4499 is surrounded by a halo. Unlike the situation in some other, more massive, globular clusters, no anomalous colour spreads in the ultraviolet are detected among the red giant branch stars. The small uncertainties in our photometry should allow the detection of such signatures apparently associated with variations of light elements within the cluster, suggesting that IC 4499 consists of a single stellar population.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
