太阳下大麦云云的初始质量函数

The sub-solar Initial Mass Function in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Dimitrios A. Gouliermis

摘要:

麦哲伦星云提供了一个独特的恒星形成区域,被视为明亮的电离气体星云,与明亮的年轻恒星协会有关。如今,哈勃太空望远镜的高分辨率观测允许检测最微弱的婴儿恒星,并且已经出现了我们矮邻居中的星团恒星形成的更完整的图片。我目前的结果,从我们的研究麦哲伦云,重点在年轻的低质量前主序星人口。我们的数据包括成像与高级相机的调查协会LH~95在大麦云,最深的观测与HST采取了这个星系。我讨论了我们的研究结果的初始质量函数,我们构建了前所未有的完整性下降到太阳系下的制度,作为恒星形成的结果,在低金属环境的LMC。

英文摘要:

The Magellanic Clouds offer a unique variety of star forming regions seen as bright nebulae of ionized gas, related to bright young stellar associations. Nowadays, observations with the high resolving efficiency of the Hubble Space Telescope allow the detection of the faintest infant stars, and a more complete picture of clustered star formation in our dwarf neighbors has emerged. I present results from our studies of the Magellanic Clouds, with emphasis in the young low-mass pre-main sequence populations. Our data include imaging with the Advanced Camera for Surveys of the association LH~95 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the deepest observations ever taken with HST of this galaxy. I discuss our findings in terms of the Initial Mass Function, which we constructed with an unprecedented completeness down to the sub-solar regime, as the outcome of star formation in the low-metallicity environment of the LMC.
