Figure 3.
Left-hand panel: a Hess diagram (logarithmically scaled) of the CMD for all stars in the CFHT/MegaCam field. Mean errors as a function of magnitude are shown. Regions of significant foreground and background contamination are labelled with the source of contamination. Right-hand panel: blue points show the CMD of all stars within 4rs from the centre of Sag DIG. The green isochrone traces an RGB, with an age of 6 Gyr and [Fe/H] = −2.2 dex. The purple isochrones are for younger populations with ages 50 Myr (dashed) and 500 Myr (solid) and a metallicity of [M/H] = −2.0 dex. All isochrones are from the PARSEC isochrone set (Bressan et al. 2012) and have been adjusted to the distance of Sag DIG as determined in Section 3.1.
