Distribution of stars in three Magellanic Clouds star clusters NGC 1754, NGC 2005, NGC 2019
Abstract
In this contribution we present our investigation of a sample of Large Magellanic Cloud star clusters. This galaxy is the closest neighbour of the Milky Way. In our sample we selected three clusters with similar ages of 10 Gyr, namely NGC 1754, NGC 2005 and NGC 2019. We construct the radial profiles of the clusters, derive structural parameters and study the distribution of the stars within the clusters through the variation of the core radius with magnitude of the stars. Indication of stellar stratification is found in NGC 1754 and NGC 2005.
