摘要:

我们描述了一个程序,以确定从附近的移动集团和协会的大自行的恒星目录的恒星。我们发现,从一个已知的或可疑的移动组的平均运动矢量,可以识别其他成员的组的基础上自行数据和测光的光学和红外,与最小的污染背景场的恒星。我们证明了这种技术进行搜索的低质量成员的Beta Picture移动组中的第谷-2目录。移动群的所有已知成员都很容易恢复,并生成了51个可能候选人的列表。移动组成员的基础上,从ROSAT,Halpha线发射的X射线通量,并从高分辨率的红外光谱在红外望远镜设施的径向速度测量的33个候选人进行评估。我们确认了其中三个候选者是该组的新成员:TYC 1186-706-1,TYC 7443-1102-1和TYC 2211-1309-1,它们是晚K和早M矮星,距离太阳45- 60 pc。我们还确定了一个共同的自行伴星,它与已知的β Picture移动群成员TYC 7443-1102-1相距26”.3;新的伴星与X射线源1 RXS J195602.8-320720有关。我们认为,目前的技术可以应用到其他大型自行目录,以确定大多数的难以捉摸的,低质量的已知附近的移动团体和协会的成员。

英文摘要:

We describe a procedure to identify stars from nearby moving groups and associations out of catalogs of stars with large proper motions. We show that from the mean motion vector of a known or suspected moving group, one can identify additional members of the group based on proper motion data and photometry in the optical and infrared, with minimal contamination from background field stars. We demonstrate this technique by conducting a search for low-mass members of the Beta Pictoris Moving Group in the Tycho-2 catalog. All known members of the moving group are easily recovered, and a list of 51 possible candidates is generated. Moving group membership is evaluated for 33 candidates based on X-ray flux from ROSAT, Halpha line emission, and radial velocity measurement from high-resolution infrared spectra obtained at Infrared Telescope Facility. We confirm three of the candidates to be new members of the group: TYC 1186-706-1, TYC 7443-1102-1, and TYC 2211-1309-1 which are late-K and early-M dwarfs 45-60pc from the Sun. We also identify a common proper motion companion to the known Beta Pictoris Moving Group member TYC 7443-1102-1, at a 26".3 separation; the new companion is associated with the X-ray source 1RXS J195602.8-320720. We argue that the present technique could be applied to other large proper motion catalogs to identify most of the elusive, low-mass members of known nearby moving groups and associations.
