42个疏散星团的CCD BV巡天

CCD BV survey of 42 open clusters

G. Maciejewski, A. Niedzielski

摘要:

我们提出的测光调查的结果,其目的是获得结构和天体物理参数的42个疏散星团。虽然我们的样本绝对不能代表银河系中所有的疏散星团样本,但它确实涵盖了广泛的星团参数,并且足够均匀,可以进行简单的统计考虑。BV宽视场CCD测光得到的疏散星团的光度,结构和动力学演化参数的确定。通过分析径向密度分布确定了极限半径和核心半径。根据太阳金属丰度等时线拟合得到了年龄、红化和距离。利用质量函数研究了系统的动力学状态、质量分离效应,估算了团簇的总质量和团簇成员数。本文首次测定了观测到的42个疏散星团中的11个星团的基本参数。大多数观测到的星团的角大小似乎比星表数据显示的大好几倍。核心和限制集群半径的相关性和后者的参数是3.2倍以上的平均。在动力学演化过程中,团簇的极限半径随团簇质量的增加而增大,极限半径和核心半径均随团簇质量的增加而减小。对于动态不先进的集群,质量函数斜率类似于通用IMF斜率。对于更进化的系统,低质量成员蒸发的影响是清晰可见的。初始的质量分离是存在于所有观察到的年轻的集群,而动态的质量分离出现在集群的年龄大于约log(年龄)= 8。低质量恒星在年龄大于log(年龄)= 8.5且不小于一个弛豫时间的星团核心中是不足的。

英文摘要:

We present results of a photometric survey whose aim was to derive structural and astrophysical parameters for 42 open clusters. While our sample is definitively not representative of the total open cluster sample in the Galaxy, it does cover a wide range of cluster parameters and is uniform enough to allow for simple statistical considerations. BV wide-field CCD photometry was obtained for open clusters for which photometric, structural, and dynamical evolution parameters were determined. The limiting and core radii were determined by analyzing radial density profiles. The ages, reddenings, and distances were obtained from the solar metallicity isochrone fitting. The mass function was used to study the dynamical state of the systems, mass segregation effect and to estimate the total mass and number of cluster members. This study reports on the first determination of basic parameters for 11 out of 42 observed open clusters. The angular sizes for the majority of the observed clusters appear to be several times larger than the catalogue data indicate. The core and limiting cluster radii are correlated and the latter parameter is 3.2 times larger on average. The limiting radius increases with the cluster's mass, and both the limiting and core radii decrease in the course of dynamical evolution. For dynamically not advanced clusters, the mass function slope is similar to the universal IMF slope. For more evolved systems, the effect of evaporation of low-mass members is clearly visible. The initial mass segregation is present in all the observed young clusters, whereas the dynamical mass segregation appears in clusters older than about log(age)=8. Low-mass stars are deficient in the cores of clusters older than log(age)=8.5 and not younger than one relaxation time.
