摘要:

我们利用新的近红外和中红外测光的昴星团,以帮助确定拟议的集群成员。我们还使用新的测光与以前公布的测光定义的单星主序星轨迹的年龄在各种颜色的星等平面的昴宿星。新的近红外和中红外测光比2 MASS全天点源目录有效地扩展了两个星等,因此使我们能够选择一组新的候选非常低质量和亚恒星质量的昴星团成员。我们识别出42个新的候选成员,其亮度弱于KS =14(对应于0.1 Mo)。这些候选成员最终应该允许更好地估计星团质量函数,使其下降到0.04太阳质量。我们还使用新的IRAC数据,特别是在8微米获得的图像,为了简要地评论和附近的昴星团星际尘埃。我们确认,正如预期的那样,-有一个例外-一个样本的低质量的恒星最近被确定为具有24 μ m的过剩,由于碎片盘没有显着的过剩在IRAC波长。然而,也有证据表明,几个昴星团高质量的恒星被发现与当地的分子云,是通过在当前的时代通过昴星团的凝聚的影响。

英文摘要:

We make use of new near and mid-IR photometry of the Pleiades cluster in order to help identify proposed cluster members. We also use the new photometry with previously published photometry to define the single-star main sequence locus at the age of the Pleiades in a variety of color-magnitude planes. The new near and mid-IR photometry extend effectively two magnitudes deeper than the 2MASS All-Sky Point Source catalog, and hence allow us to select a new set of candidate very low mass and sub-stellar mass members of the Pleiades in the central square degree of the cluster. We identify 42 new candidate members fainter than Ks =14 (corresponding to 0.1 Mo). These candidate members should eventually allow a better estimate of the cluster mass function to be made down to of order 0.04 solar masses. We also use new IRAC data, in particular the images obtained at 8 um, in order to comment briefly on interstellar dust in and near the Pleiades. We confirm, as expected, that -- with one exception -- a sample of low mass stars recently identified as having 24 um excesses due to debris disks do not have significant excesses at IRAC wavelengths. However, evidence is also presented that several of the Pleiades high mass stars are found to be impacting with local condensations of the molecular cloud that is passing through the Pleiades at the current epoch.
