年轻疏散星团- II中的大质量双星部分。NGC 6611(鹰星云)

The massive star binary fraction in young open clusters - II. NGC 6611 (Eagle Nebula)

H. Sana, E. Gosset, C. J. Evans

摘要:

基于2003年至2009年收集的100多个中高分辨率光谱,我们研究了位于老鹰星云(M16)核心的NGC 6611中O型恒星的性质。使用一个更广泛的数据集比以前可用,我们修改了光谱分类和多重性状态的9个O型恒星在我们的样本。我们确认了两个可疑的双星,并推导出两个系统的第一个SB 2轨道解。我们进一步报告说,另外两个对象显示一个复合光谱,这表明可能的长周期双星。我们的分析得到了一组蒙特卡罗模拟的支持,使我们能够估计我们的运动的检测偏差,并表明后者不影响我们的结论。我们的样本中的绝对最小二进制分数是f_min=0.44,但如果所有的二进制候选者都被确认,则可能高达0.67。和NGC 6231一样(见论文I),NGC 6611中有75%的O星族是在O+OB系统中发现的,因此隐含地将随机配对从经典IMF中排除,作为描述大质量双星中伴星协的过程。尽管两个星系团的年龄和环境不同,但NGC 6231和NGC 6611之间的二进制分数、质量比和周期分布没有统计学差异。

英文摘要:

Based on a set of over 100 medium- to high-resolution optical spectra collected from 2003 to 2009, we investigate the properties of the O-type star population in NGC6611 in the core of the Eagle Nebula (M16). Using a much more extended data set than previously available, we revise the spectral classification and multiplicity status of the nine O-type stars in our sample. We confirm two suspected binaries and derive the first SB2 orbital solutions for two systems. We further report that two other objects are displaying a composite spectrum, suggesting possible long-period binaries. Our analysis is supported by a set of Monte-Carlo simulations, allowing us to estimate the detection biases of our campaign and showing that the latter do not affect our conclusions. The absolute minimal binary fraction in our sample is f_min=0.44 but could be as high as 0.67 if all the binary candidates are confirmed. As in NGC6231 (see Paper I), up to 75% of the O star population in NGC6611 are found in an O+OB system, thus implicitly excluding random pairing from a classical IMF as a process to describe the companion association in massive binaries. No statistical difference could be further identified in the binary fraction, mass-ratio and period distributions between NGC6231 and NGC6611, despite the difference in age and environment of the two clusters.
