We perform a new analysis of the extant ROSAT and XMM-Newton X-ray surveys of the southern open cluster Blanco 1, utilizing new BVIc photometric and proper motion data sets. In our study, we match optical counterparts to 47 X-ray sources associated with Blanco 1 cluster members, 6 of which were listed in previous X-ray studies as cluster nonmembers. Our new catalog of optical counterparts to X-ray sources clearly traces out the Blanco 1 main sequence in a CMD, extending from early G to mid-M spectral types. Additionally, we derive new Lx as well as Lx/Lbol ratios for confirmed cluster members. We compare these X-ray properties to other young open clusters, including the coeval Pleiades cluster, to investigate the relationship between age and X-ray activity. We find that stars in Blanco 1 generally exhibit X-ray properties similar to those of other open clusters, namely increasing Lx/Lbol with reducing mass for earlier-type stars, and a saturation limit of Lx/Lbol at a magnitude of 10^-3 for stars with V-Ic > 1.25. More generally, the X-ray detected stars in Blanco 1 have X-ray emission magnitudes that agree with the overall trends seen in the other young clusters. In a direct comparison of Blanco 1 to the Pleiades open cluster, members of both clusters have similar X-ray characteristics; however, there does appear to be some discrepancies in the distribution of Lx/Lbol as a function of color that may be related to scatter seen in the Pleiades CMD. Moreover, previous comparisons of this nature for Blanco 1 were not possible due to the reliance on photographic photometry. This is where the power of precise, homogeneous, and standardized CCD photometry allows for a high fidelity, detailed study of the X-ray properties of stars in Blanco 1. [abridged]
NGTS clusters survey. I. Rotation in the young benchmark open cluster Blanco 1
我们使用下一代凌日巡天(NGTS)的200天光度监测,确定了1.15亿年前的布兰科1疏散星团中127颗恒星的自转周期。这些恒星跨越F5-M3光谱类型(1.2 $\gtrsim M \gtrsim$ 0.3 M $_{\odot}$),并将布兰科1的已知旋转周期增加了四倍。我们确定旋转周期使用三种方法:高斯过程(GP)回归,广义自相关(G-ACF)和Lomb-Scargle(LS)周期图,并发现GP和G-ACF更适用于不断发展的斑点调制模式。在中F和中K光谱类型之间,单颗恒星遵循一个明确的旋转序列,从2到10天,而在光度多系统中的恒星通常旋转得更快。这可能表明,一个中等到高质量比的伴星的存在抑制了早期前主序期间的角动量损失机制,并且这个特征在~ 1亿年时没有被抹去。大多数中F到中K星显示不断变化的调制模式,而大多数M星显示稳定的调制信号。这种形态上的变化与从一个定义明确的旋转序列(中F到中K星)到一个广泛的旋转周期分布(晚K和M星)的转变相吻合。最后,我们比较了我们对Blanco 1和类似年龄的昂宿星团的旋转结果:两个星团中的单恒星种群具有一致的旋转周期分布,这表明恒星的角动量演化遵循一个明确的路径,至少对于中F到中K恒星来说,强烈的印记是~ 1亿年。

Spectroscopic membership for the populous 300 Myr-old open cluster NGC 3532
NGC 3532是一个非常丰富的疏散星团,嵌入在银河系圆盘中,迄今为止缺乏一个全面的,有记录的成员名单。我们提供的成员资格概率从新的径向速度观测的太阳型和低质量的恒星在NGC 3532,部分作为一个前奏,随后的研究恒星旋转的集群。利用现有的光学和红外测光,我们建立了一个初步的光度成员目录,包括2230矮星和关闭的恒星。我们选择了其中的1060颗用英澳望远镜的AAOmega摄谱仪进行观测,391颗用维克多·布兰科望远镜的Hydra-South摄谱仪进行观测,获得了145颗恒星十年的光谱观测。我们通过与模型光谱和标准恒星的互相关测量了我们目标的径向速度,并补充了文献中433颗额外恒星的径向速度。我们还从AAOmega光谱测量log g、Teff和[Fe/H]。加上盖亚DR 2的自行车,我们找到了660个独家成员。成员分布在整个星团序列中,从巨星到M矮星,使NGC 3532成为迄今为止已知的银河系最丰富的疏散星团之一,与昂宿星团不相上下。通过对153颗矮星的进一步光谱分析,我们发现其金属丰度略低于太阳,[Fe/H]=-0.07。利用Gaia DR 2的三角视差测量,我们发现距离为$484^{+35}_{-30}$ pc。基于成员资格,我们提供了一个经验集群序列在多个光度通带。比较测光测量的集群成员与最近的几个模型等时线,使我们能够确认3亿年的集群年龄。然而,所有的模型表明偏离集群序列在特…
