摘要:

我们提出了一个深宽场近红外调查的结果,12平方度的昂宿星进行的一部分,UKIDSS深红外巡天(UKIDSS)星系团调查(GCS)。我们已经提取了340多个高概率自行成员下降到0.03太阳质量的UKIDSS测光和自行测量的相互关联的GCS从两微米全天巡天(2 MASS),艾萨克牛顿(INT)和加拿大,法国,夏威夷(CFHT)望远镜的数据获得的组合。此外,我们已经发掘了73个新的候选褐矮星成员的基础上,五波段UKIDSS测光单独。从(Y-K,Y)和(J-K,J)色星等图中,我们从63颗候选褐矮星中识别出23颗亚星多系统候选者,在0.075-0.030 Msun质量范围内,双星频率为28-44%。我们的估计是三倍以上的高分辨率成像调查领域的超冷矮星和昂宿星棕矮星的二进制分数报告。然而,它与Pinfield等人(2003年)提出的50+/-10%的早期“特殊”光度二元分数略有一致,与Maxted & Jeffries(2005)最近的蒙特卡罗模拟得出的32-45%二进制分数非常一致,与Basri & Reiners(2006年)。光测法对质量比的初步估计似乎支持这样一个假设,即褐矮星往往存在于质量比接近相等的系统中。(节略)

英文摘要:

We present the results of a deep wide-field near-infrared survey of 12 square degrees of the Pleiades conducted as part of the UKIDSS Deep Infrared Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Galactic Cluster Survey (GCS). We have extracted over 340 high probability proper motion members down to 0.03 solar masses using a combination of UKIDSS photometry and proper motion measurements obtained by cross-correlating the GCS with data from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), the Isaac Newton (INT) and the Canada-France-Hawai'i (CFHT) telescopes. Additionally, we have unearthed 73 new candidate brown dwarf members on the basis of five band UKIDSS photometry alone. We have identified 23 substellar multiple system candidates out of 63 candidate brown dwarfs from the (Y-K,Y) and (J-K,J) colour-magnitude diagrams, yielding a binary frequency of 28-44% in the 0.075-0.030 Msun mass range. Our estimate is three times larger than the binary fractions reported from high-resolution imaging surveys of field ultracool dwarfs and Pleiades brown dwarfs. However, it is marginally consistent with our earlier ``peculiar'' photometric binary fraction of 50+/-10% presented in Pinfield et al. (2003), in good agreement with the 32-45% binary fraction derived from the recent Monte-Carlo simulations of Maxted & Jeffries (2005) and compatible with the 26+/-10% frequency recently estimated by Basri & Reiners (2006). A tentative estimate of the mass ratios from photometry alone seems to support the hypothesis that binary brown dwarfs tend to reside in near equal-mass ratio systems. (abridged)
