sigma Ori聚类的主序列拟合距离

Main-Seqence Fitting Distance to the sigma Ori Cluster

W. H. Sherry, F. M. Walter, S. J. Wolk, N. R. Adams

摘要:

猎户座西格玛星系团是以猎户座西格玛多重系统为中心的数百颗年轻低质量恒星的非束缚聚集体。这个星团非常令人感兴趣,因为它处于大约一半的恒星已经失去原行星盘的年龄,并且星团中有非常大的棕矮星人口。星团性质不确定性的最大来源之一是距离不为人所知。直接测量的依巴谷到sigma Ori AB的距离是350(+120,-90)pc。另一方面,到猎户座OB 1b子群的距离(猎户座σ被认为是其中的一员),473+/-40 pc,是更好的确定,但它是对星团距离的间接估计。此外,猎户座OB 1b可能有40 pc的深度沿我们的视线。我们使用主序拟合9个主序星团成员,估计最佳拟合距离为420+/-30 pc,假设金属丰度为-0.16+/-0.11或444 pc假设太阳金属丰度。距离近到350秒差距与观测到的星团成员的亮度不一致。在最佳拟合距离处,星团的年龄为2-3百万年。

英文摘要:

The sigma Ori cluster is an unbound aggregate of a few hundred young, low-mass stars centered on the multiple system sigma Ori. This cluster is of great interest because it is at an age when roughly half of the stars have lost their protoplanetary disks, and the cluster has a very large population of brown dwarfs. One of the largest sources of uncertainty in the properties of the cluster is that the distance is not well known. The directly measured Hipparcos distance to sigma Ori AB is 350 (+120,-90) pc. On the other hand, the distance to the Orion OB1b subgroup (of which sigma Ori is thought to be a member), 473+/-40 pc, is far better determined, but it is an indirect estimate of the cluster's distance. Also, Orion OB1b may have a depth of 40 pc along our line of sight. We use main sequence fitting to 9 main sequence cluster members to estimate a best fit distance of 420+/-30 pc, assuming a metallicity of -0.16+/-0.11 or 444 pc assuming solar metallicity. A distance as close as 350 pc is inconsistent with the observed brightnesses of the cluster members. At the best fit distance, the age of the cluster is 2-3 Myrs.
