摘要:

我们利用NIRSPEC和凯克II望远镜获得的高分辨率近红外光谱,获得了18颗超冷矮星(M6.5-T8)的径向速度。我们已经证实Gl 570 D的径向速度与K型主星Gl 570 A的径向速度一致,从而为它们真正的伴侣关系提供了额外的支持。使用NIRSPEC在4.37年期间获得的五个径向速度测量结果分析了2 MASS J 05591914 -1404488(T4.5V)周围行星质量伴星的存在。我们已经计算了UVW空间运动的总共21个L和T矮星在20 pc的太阳。这个人口显示UVW速度,很好地重叠在同一空间体积内的太阳M型恒星的典型运动学。然而,L和T矮星的平均银河速度(44.2 km/s)和切向速度(36.5 km/s)似乎比G到M恒星的速度要小。相当大一部分(约40%)的L型和T型矮星位于毕宿星团移动群(0.4-2 Gyr)附近,而早期恒星邻居的比例为10-12%。此外,所有三个UVW分量的分布(sigma_{UVW} = 30.2,16.5,15.8 km/s)和银河系总的分布(sigma_{v_tot} = 19.1 km/s)和切向(sigma_{v_t} = 17.6 km/s)的速度推导出的L和T矮星样本比那些测量附近的G,K和M型恒星,但类似于F星获得的分散体。这表明,在太阳附近,我们样本中的L型和T型超冷矮星(包括棕矮星)在运动学上比太阳型到早期M星年轻,年龄可能在0.5-4 Gyr之间。

英文摘要:

(Abridged) We have obtained radial velocities of a sample of 18 ultracool dwarfs (M6.5-T8) using high-resolution, near-infrared spectra obtained with NIRSPEC and the Keck II telescope. We have confirmed that the radial velocity of Gl 570 D is coincident with that of the K-type primary star Gl 570 A, thus providing additional support for their true companionship. The presence of planetary-mass companions around 2MASS J05591914-1404488 (T4.5V) has been analyzed using five NIRSPEC radial velocity measurements obtained over a period of 4.37 yr. We have computed UVW space motions for a total of 21 L and T dwarfs within 20 pc of the Sun. This population shows UVW velocities that nicely overlap the typical kinematics of solar to M-type stars within the same spatial volume. However, the mean Galactic (44.2 km/s) and tangential (36.5 km/s) velocities of the L and T dwarfs appear to be smaller than those of G to M stars. A significant fraction (~40%) of the L and T dwarfs lies near the Hyades moving group (0.4-2 Gyr), which contrasts with the 10-12% found for earlier-type stellar neighbors. Additionally, the distributions of all three UVW components (sigma_{UVW} = 30.2, 16.5, 15.8 km/s) and the distributions of the total Galactic (sigma_{v_tot} = 19.1 km/s) and tangential (sigma_{v_t} = 17.6 km/s) velocities derived for the L and T dwarf sample are narrower than those measured for nearby G, K, and M-type stars, but similar to the dispersions obtained for F stars. This suggests that, in the solar neighborhood, the L- and T-type ultracool dwarfs in our sample (including brown dwarfs) is kinematically younger than solar-type to early M stars with likely ages in the interval 0.5-4 Gyr.
