摘要:

猎户座70是一个暗淡的中T型天体,朝向年轻的猎户座σ星系团的方向,其性质仍在争论中。我们打算解开它是一个场褐矮星还是一个300万年前的行星质量的星团成员。我们报告了最近获得的S Ori 70的近红外JHK_s和中红外[3.6]和[4.5] IRAC/Spitzer测光。新的近红外图像(在发现数据后3.82年拍摄)使我们能够推导出该天体的非常小的自行(11.0 +/- 5.9 mas/yr),这与天体测量不确定性1.5 sigma内的星团自行一致。当与视场中的T4-T7矮星相比时,颜色(H-K_s)、(J-K_s)和K_s-[3.6]出现不一致。这种行为可能归因于低重力的大气层,或者是金属量与太阳显著不同的大气层。考虑到S Ori 70的小自行及其新的近红外和中红外颜色,低重力大气仍然是解释我们观测结果的最可能的解释。这支持了S Ori 70在猎户座西格玛中的成员资格,估计质量在2-7 Mjup之间,与我们以前的推导一致。

英文摘要:

(Abridged) The nature of S Ori 70, a faint mid-T type object found towards the direction of the young sigma Orionis cluster, is still under debate. We intend to disentangle whether it is a field brown dwarf or a 3-Myr old planetary-mass member of the cluster. We report on near-infrared JHK_s and mid-infrared [3.6] and [4.5] IRAC/Spitzer photometry recently obtained for S Ori 70. The new near-infrared images (taken 3.82 yr after the discovery data) have allowed us to derive a very small proper motion (11.0 +/- 5.9 mas/yr) for this object, which is consistent with the proper motion of the cluster within 1.5 sigma the astrometric uncertainty. The colors (H-K_s), (J-K_s) and K_s-[3.6] appear discrepant when compared to T4-T7 dwarfs in the field. This behavior could be ascribed to a low-gravity atmosphere or alternatively to an atmosphere with a metallicity significantly different than solar. Taking into account the small proper motion of S Ori 70 and its new near- and mid-infrared colors, a low-gravity atmosphere remains as the most likely explanation to account for our observations. This supports S Ori 70's membership in sigma Orionis, with an estimated mass in the interval 2-7 Mjup, in agreement with our previous derivation.
