利用宽场BVIc测光和自行巡天对疏散星团Blanco 1的新X射线分析

A New X-Ray Analysis of the Open Cluster Blanco 1 Using Wide-Field BVIc Photometric and Proper Motion Surveys

P. A. Cargile, D. J. James, I. Platais

摘要:

我们执行一个新的分析现存的ROSAT和XMM牛顿X射线调查的南部疏散星团布兰科1,利用新的BVIc光度和自行数据集。在我们的研究中,我们匹配光学对应的47个X射线源与布兰科1集群成员,其中6个被列为在以前的X射线研究集群非成员。我们的新目录光学对应X射线源清楚地描绘出布兰科1主序列的CMD,从早期G到中期M光谱类型。此外,我们得到新的Lx以及Lx/Lbol比率确认集群成员。我们将这些X射线特性与其他年轻的疏散星团(包括同时代的昴星团)进行比较,以研究年龄与X射线活动之间的关系。我们发现,布兰科1中的恒星通常表现出与其他疏散星团相似的X射线性质,即早期类型恒星的Lx/Lbol随着质量的减小而增加,而V-Ic > 1.25的恒星的Lx/Lbol饱和极限为10^-3。更一般地说,在布兰科1中被X射线探测到的恒星的X射线发射星等与其他年轻星团的总体趋势一致。在对布兰科1和昴星团疏散星团的直接比较中,两个星团的成员都有相似的X射线特征;然而,在Lx/Lbol的分布上确实出现了一些差异,这可能与在昴星团CMD中看到的散射有关。此外,由于依赖于照相测光,以前对Blanco 1进行这种性质的比较是不可能的。这就是精确、均匀和标准化的CCD测光的力量,可以对布兰科1号恒星的X射线特性进行高保真、详细的研究。[删节]

英文摘要:

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]
