摘要:

我们已经对昴星团中约0.4度^2的视场进行了深宽视场成像(Melotte 22)。选定的领域还不是深入寻找低质量恒星和褐矮星的目标。我们的极限星等是R ~ 22等和I ~ 20等,足以探测到40 MJ以下的棕矮星候选者。我们发现了197个天体,它们在(I,R - I)色星等图上的位置与昂宿星的年龄和距离一致。使用CTK R和I以及JHK测光从我们的数据和2 MASS巡天,我们能够识别7个新的褐矮星候选者。我们提出了我们的数据减少技术,它使我们能够重新采样,校准,并共同添加许多图像,只需两个步骤。我们利用二维卡方拟合,从光学和近红外数据中估算了星际消光和光谱类型。

英文摘要:

We have performed deep, wide-field imaging on a ~0.4 deg^2 field in the Pleiades (Melotte 22). The selected field was not yet target of a deep search for low mass stars and brown dwarfs. Our limiting magnitudes are R ~ 22mag and I ~ 20mag, sufficient to detect brown dwarf candidates down to 40MJ. We found 197 objects, whose location in the (I, R - I) color magnitude diagram is consistent with the age and the distance of the Pleiades. Using CTK R and I as well as JHK photometry from our data and the 2MASS survey we were able to identify 7 new brown dwarf candidates. We present our data reduction technique, which enables us to resample, calibrate, and co-add many images by just two steps. We estimate the interstellar extinction and the spectral type from our optical and the NIR data using a two-dimensional chi^22 fitting.
