rho蛇夫座分子云中的恒星形成

Star Formation in the rho Ophiuchi Molecular Cloud

Bruce Wilking, Marc Gagne, Lori Allen

摘要:

综述了蛇夫座ρ分子复合体中恒星形成的研究进展,特别强调了1991年以来对主云L1688的研究。最近对天蝎座-半人马座OB星协的上天蝎座子群恒星的光度和视差测量表明,云的距离在120到140秒差距之间。L1688的致密核心正在形成恒星,年轻恒星的平均年龄为30万年。表面人口似乎有一个中位年龄为2-5百万年,并与低质量恒星合并在上天蝎座亚群。利用L1688最新的X射线和红外光度测量和光谱测量,我们编制了一份2 MASS目录中300多个协会成员的名单。成员标准,如锂吸收,X射线发射和红外过量,涵盖了年轻恒星物体的全部演化状态。光谱能量分布进行了分类的许多成员使用红外测光从斯皮策太空望远镜。

英文摘要:

A review of star formation in the Rho Ophiuchi molecular complex is presented, with particular emphasis on studies of the main cloud, L1688, since 1991. Recent photometric and parallax measurements of stars in the Upper Scorpius subgroup of the Sco-Cen OB association suggest a distance for the cloud between 120 and 140 parsecs. Star formation is ongoing in the dense cores of L1688 with a median age for young stellar objects of 0.3 Myr. The surface population appears to have a median age of 2-5 Myr and merges with low mass stars in the Upper Scorpius subgroup. Making use of the most recent X-ray and infrared photometric surveys and spectroscopic surveys of L1688, we compile a list of over 300 association members with counterparts in the 2MASS catalog. Membership criteria, such as lithium absorption, X-ray emission, and infrared excess, cover the full range of evolutionary states for young stellar objects. Spectral energy distributions are classified for many association members using infrared photometry obtained from the Spitzer Space Telescope.
