Abstract
The variations of the dynamical substructures of NGC 6934 have been
investigated by means of performing point spread function stellar
photometry and the surface photometry on BV CCD images of NGC 6934. Our
results show that overall variations of ellipticity and position angle
range in 0.02˜0.08 and -90° ˜ +90°, respectively out
to three times the half light radius. The inner (reff <
rh) substructures of NGC 6934 inferred from the variations of
ellipticity and position angle are mainly affected by the bright red
giant populations, while the effects of the other giant populations are
weaker than those of the bright red giant populations. Horizontal branch
populations and faint red giant star populations affect the dynamical
substructures of NGC 6934 in the region of rh <
reff <3rh.
