猎户座中分散的年轻人口

The Dispersed Young Population in Orion

Cesar Briceno

摘要:

猎户座OB 1星协距离我们大约400 pc,在天空中的跨度超过200 deg^2,是最大和最近的OB星协之一。猎户座具有广泛的年龄和环境条件,是研究与恒星和行星系统诞生有关的基本问题的理想实验室。这个丰富的区域展示了恒星形成过程的所有阶段,从非常年轻的嵌入式星团到年龄较大的完全暴露的年轻恒星;它还拥有密集的星团和广泛分布在广阔的低恒星密度区域的人口。本文重点介绍后者,即猎户座OB 1中分布在广阔空间尺度上的低质量(M < 2 Mo)主序前星群,主要分布在云外区域。随着正在进行的研究产生了更完整的普查,越来越清楚的是,这种“分布”或非聚集的人口,与位于分子云中的人口一样多;如果不包括这种广泛分布的人口,现代对猎户座恒星形成的研究将是不完整的。

英文摘要:

The Orion OB1 Association, at a distance of roughly 400 pc and spanning over ~200 deg^2 on the sky, is one of the largest and nearest OB associations. With a wide range of ages and environmental conditions, Orion is an ideal laboratory for investigating fundamental questions related to the birth of stars and planetary systems. This rich region exhibits all stages of the star formation process, from very young, embedded clusters, to older, fully exposed young stars; it also harbors dense clusters and widely spread populations in vast, low stellar density areas. This review focuses on the later, namely, the low-mass (M ~< 2 Mo), pre-main sequence population spread over wide spatial scales in Orion OB1, mostly in the off-cloud areas. As ongoing studies yield more complete censa it becomes clearer that this "distributed" or non-clustered population, is as numerous as that located in the molecular clouds; modern studies of star formation in Orion would be incomplete if they did not include this widely spread population.
