摘要:

本文的目的是定量地验证亮边云及其周围的“{ \it小尺度序贯恒星形成}”假说。作为Ogura等人(2007年,论文I)最近尝试的延续,我们对另外四个BRC聚集体进行了$BVI_{c}$光度测定,并对先前观察到的两个BRC进行了更深入的重新观察。再次定量的年龄梯度中发现,几乎所有的BRCs研究在目前的工作。Spitzer/IRAC存档数据也支持这一结果。在这里研究的每个HII区域的近红外多余星的全球分布清楚地表明,一系列的辐射驱动的内爆(RDI)过程在过去进行从附近的中心O星(S)的HII区域的外围。我们发现,一般来说,弱线T-Tauri星(WTTSs)比经典T-Tauri星(CTTSs)要老一些。此外,与BRC相关联的T-Tauri星(TTS)中CTTS的比例也随着年龄的增长而减少。这些事实与Bertout等人(2007年)的最新结论一致,即CTTS演变为WTTTS。一般来说,与BRCs相关的TTS中H $α$发射的EW随年龄而降低。与形态类型“A”的BRC相关联的聚集体的质量函数(MF)似乎遵循在年轻的疏散星团中发现的,而“B/C”类型的BRC显示出显着陡峭的MF。

英文摘要:

The aim of this paper is to quantitatively testify the "{\it small-scale sequential star formation}" hypothesis in and around bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs). As a continuation of the recent attempt by Ogura et al. (2007, Paper I), we have carried out $BVI_{c}$ photometry of four more BRC aggregates along with deeper re-observations of 2 previously observed BRCs. Again quantitative age gradients are found in almost all the BRCs studied in the present work. Archival Spitzer/IRAC data also support this result. The global distribution of NIR excess stars in each HII region studied here clearly shows evidence that a series of radiation driven implosion (RDI) processes proceeded in the past from near the central O star(s) towards the peripheries of the HII region. We found that in general weak-line T-Tauri stars (WTTSs) are somewhat older than classical T-Tauri stars (CTTSs). Also the fraction of CTTSs among the T-Tauri stars (TTSs) associated with the BRCs is found to decrease with age. These facts are in accordance with the recent conclusion by Bertout et al. (2007) that CTTSs evolve into WTTSs. It seems that in general the EW of H$α$ emission in TTSs associated with the BRCs decreases with age. The mass function (MF) of the aggregates associated with the BRCs of the morphological type "A" seems to follow that found in young open clusters, whereas "B/C" type BRCs show significantly steeper MF.
