确定PMS星年龄的新方法

New Methods for Determining the Ages of PMS Stars

摘要:

本文提出了三种测定前主序星群年龄的新方法。首先,创建经验等时线可以让我们创建一个强大的年龄排序,但不能得到实际的年龄。第二,使用前主序和主序之间的颜色星等空间的间隙(辐射对流间隙)的宽度有希望作为距离和消光独立的年龄测量,但尚未校准。最后,我们讨论了τ平方拟合的主要序列的恒星接近终端的主要序列。这种方法表明,这些“核”年龄与更传统的主序前收缩年龄之间存在因子2差异。

英文摘要:

We present three new methods for determining the age of groups of pre-main-sequence stars. The first, creating empirical isochrones allows us to create a robust age ordering, but not to derive actual ages. The second, using the width of the gap in colour-magnitude space between the pre-main-sequence and main-sequence (the radiative convective gap) has promise as a distance and extinction independent measure of age, but is as yet uncalibrated. Finally we discuss tau-squared fitting of the main sequence as the stars approach the terminus of the main sequence. This method suggests that there is a factor two difference between these "nuclear" ages, and more conventional pre-main-sequence contraction ages.
