摘要:

麦哲伦云(MC)提供了一个杰出的年轻恒星协会,其中大样本的低质量恒星(质量小于1个太阳质量),目前正在形成的行为可以解决和充分探索与哈勃太空望远镜。这些主序前(PMS)恒星提供了恒星形成过程的独特快照,因为它是在过去的2000万年内记录的,它们提供了关于其宿主环境的低质量初始质量函数(IMF)的重要信息。本文介绍了利用先进巡天照相机(ACS)对MCs中这类恒星形成区进行观测的最新结果,并讨论了哈勃望远镜在全面收集MCs中最近低质量恒星形成和低质量IMF大量信息方面的重要性。

英文摘要:

The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) offer an outstanding variety of young stellar associations, in which large samples of low-mass stars (with masses less than 1 solar mass) currently in the act of formation can be resolved and explored sufficiently with the Hubble Space Telescope. These pre-main sequence (PMS) stars provide a unique snapshot of the star formation process, as it is being recorded for the last 20 Myr, and they give important information on the low-mass Initial Mass Function (IMF) of their host environments. We present the latest results from observations with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) of such star-forming regions in the MCs, and discuss the importance of Hubble}for a comprehensive collection of substantial information on the most recent low-mass star formation and the low-mass IMF in the MCs.
