蛇夫座恒星形成区的距离

On the Distance to the Ophiuchus Star-Forming Region

Eric E. Mamajek

摘要:

蛇夫座分子云复合体在林德1688年产生了已知最丰富的嵌入式星团,距离太阳约300 pc。不幸的是,到Oph复合体的距离估计值相差近~40%(~120-165 pc)。在这里,我计算了一个新的独立的距离估计135 +- 8 pc的基准恒星形成区域的基础上依巴谷三角函数的恒星照明反射星云在靠近林德1688。将该值与最近来自变红研究的距离估计值相结合,表明一致的距离为139 +- 6 pc(4%误差),位于Sco OB 2的约500万年前的上Sco OB亚组(145 pc)的质心的约11 pc范围内。Oph和Upper Sco的速度矢量在每个矢量分量中在~1 km/s内统计上无法区分。Oph和Upper Sco在银河系垂直方向上的运动相对于当地静止标准可以忽略不计(<1 km/s),这与通过高速云撞击形成的年轻恒星群不一致。

英文摘要:

The Ophiuchus molecular cloud complex has produced in Lynds 1688 the richest known embedded cluster within ~300 pc of the Sun. Unfortunately, distance estimates to the Oph complex vary by nearly ~40% (~120-165 pc). Here I calculate a new independent distance estimate of 135 +- 8 pc to this benchmark star-forming region based on Hipparcos trigonometric parallaxes to stars illuminating reflection nebulosity in close proximity to Lynds 1688. Combining this value with recent distance estimates from reddening studies suggests a consensus distance of 139 +- 6 pc (4% error), situating it within ~11 pc of the centroid of the ~5 Myr old Upper Sco OB subgroup of Sco OB2 (145 pc). The velocity vectors for Oph and Upper Sco are statistically indistinguishable within ~1 km/s in each vector component. Both Oph and Upper Sco have negligible motion (<1 km/s) in the Galactic vertical direction with respect to the Local Standard of Rest, which is inconsistent with the young stellar groups having formed via the high velocity cloud impact scenario.
