摘要:

从INT/WFC光度H $α$北银道面巡天(IPHAS)得到的恒星光度学可以用来识别大的、可靠的A0-A5矮星样本。对于每一个A星,这样确定,它也有可能得到个人的红化和距离估计,假设大多数选定的对象是在或靠近主序列,在一个平均绝对r'等为1.5 - 1.6。本研究提出了获得这类样品的方法,并成功地恢复了已知的疏散星团NGC 7510和NGC 7790的红化和距离。然后,从包括大质量北OB星协Cyg OB 2在内的天区的IPHAS数据中获得了13.5 < r' < 20等范围内的1000多颗A星的样本。对这些数据的分析显示,大约200颗A星集中在一个大约1度的区域内,主要偏移在天鹅座OB 2中已知的1- 300万年前的OB星的南部:它们的去红r'星等在11.8到12.5之间。这与DM = 10.8时的恒星星族年龄约为700万年,或DM = 11.2时的年龄约为500万年相一致。仅在这个星团中发现的A星的数量就与星团质量的下限约为10000 M-太阳相一致。

英文摘要:

Stellar photometry derived from the INT/WFC Photometric H$α$ Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) can be used to identify large, reliable samples of A0-A5 dwarfs. For every A star, so identified, it is also possible to derive individual reddening and distance estimates, under the assumption that most selected objects are on or near the main sequence, at a mean absolute r' magnitude of 1.5 -- 1.6. This study presents the method for obtaining such samples and shows that the known reddenings and distances to the open clusters NGC 7510 and NGC 7790 are successfully recovered. A sample of over 1000 A stars is then obtained from IPHAS data in the magnitude range 13.5 < r' < 20 from the region of sky including the massive northern OB association Cyg OB2. Analysis of these data reveals a concentration of ~200 A stars over an area about a degree across, offset mainly to the south of the known 1--3 Myr old OB stars in Cyg OB2: their dereddened r' magnitudes fall in the range 11.8 to 12.5. These are consistent with a ~7 Myr old stellar population at DM = 10.8, or with an age of ~5 Myr at DM = 11.2. The number of A stars found in this clustering alone is consistent with a lower limit to the cluster mass of ~10000 M-sun.
