摘要:

自2002年11月以来,我们对南半球的年轻、邻近的星系团进行了最大规模的深层成像调查。我们的目标是在中间(10- 500 AU)物理分离的亚恒星同伴的检测和表征。我们已经观察到了88颗恒星的样本,其中大部分是G到M矮星,我们基本上确定它们的年龄小于1亿年,距离地球的距离小于100 pc。欧洲南方天文台帕拉纳尔天文台的VLT/NACO自适应光学仪器被用来探测典型的0.1到10“之间的微弱的星周环境。我们发现了17个新的紧密(0.1- 5.0“)多重系统。HIP 108195 AB和C(F1 III-M6)、HIP 84642 AB(α ~14 AU,K 0-M5)和TWA 22 AB(α ~ 1.8AU; M6-M6)证实了共动系统。TWA 22 AB可能是一个天体测量校准器,可用于测试进化预测。在我们完整的样本中,共有65个目标观察到深冠状成像。在36颗恒星周围发现了大约240个微弱的候选者。对其中83%的恒星进行了VLT或HST的后续观测,使我们能够识别出一小部分污染物。本文综述了在这次巡天中确认的GSC 08047 -00232、AB Pic和2 M1207的亚恒星伴星的最新结果。最后,对我们完整的日冕极限的统计分析使我们能够对通常在20到150 AU之间的巨行星的物理和性质进行限制。

英文摘要:

Since November 2002, we have conducted the largest deep imaging survey of the young, nearby associations of the southern hemisphere. Our goal is detection and characterization of substellar companions at intermediate (10--500 AU) physical separations. We have observed a sample of 88 stars, mostly G to M dwarfs, that we essentially identify as younger than 100 Myr and closer to Earth than 100 pc. The VLT/NACO adaptive optics instrument of the ESO Paranal Observatory was used to explore the faint circumstellar environment between typically 0.1 and 10''. We report the discovery of 17 new close (0.1-5.0'') multiple systems. HIP108195AB and C (F1III-M6), HIP84642AB (a~14 AU, K0-M5) and TWA22AB (a~1.8 AU; M6-M6) confirmed comoving systems. TWA22AB is likely to be a astrometric calibrator that can be used to test evolutionary predictions. Among our complete sample, a total of 65 targets observed with deep coronagraphic imaging. About 240 faint candidates were detected around 36 stars. Follow-up observations VLT or HST for 83% of these stars enabled us to identify a fraction of contaminants. The latest results about the substellar companions to GSC08047-00232, AB Pic and 2M1207, confirmed during this survey and published earlier, are reviewed. Finally, the statistical analysis of our complete set of coronagraphic limits enables us to place constraints on the physical and properties of giant planets between typically 20 and 150 AU.
