天鹅座大质量恒星形成区OB2

The Massive Star Forming Region, Cygnus OB2

N. J. Wright, J. J. Drake

摘要:

我们目前的结果从1696个X射线点源的大质量恒星形成区(SFR)天鹅座OB 2,其中大部分有光学或近红外协会检测到的目录。我们得出的年龄为3.5和5.25百万年的恒星星族在我们的两个领域,在最近的研究表明,中央1-3百万年OB协会被包围和污染的年龄为5-10百万年的老年人。原行星盘源的比例,由K波段的过度跟踪,是不寻常的低。虽然这以前被解释为是由于天鹅座OB 2中大量OB星的影响,但该地区较老恒星的污染也可能是原因之一。导出了初始质量函数,发现其斜率为Gamma =-1.27,与正则值一致。最后,我们介绍了最近批准的钱德拉天鹅座OB 2遗产调查,将图像的天鹅座OB 2协会的1平方度的区域,深度为120公里,可能检测到约10,000恒星X射线源。

英文摘要:

We present results from a catalogue of 1696 X-ray point sources detected in the massive star forming region (SFR) Cygnus OB2, the majority of which have optical or near-IR associations. We derive ages of 3.5 and 5.25 Myrs for the stellar populations in our two fields, in agreement with recent studies that suggest that the central 1-3 Myr OB association is surrounded and contaminated by an older population with an age of 5-10 Myrs. The fraction of sources with proto-planetary disks, as traced by K-band excesses, are unusually low. Though this has previously been interpreted as due to the influence of the large number of OB stars in Cyg OB2, contamination from an older population of stars in the region could also be responsible. An initial mass function is derived and found to have a slope of Gamma = -1.27, in agreement with the canonical value. Finally we introduce the recently approved Chandra Cygnus OB2 Legacy Survey that will image a 1 square degree area of the Cygnus OB2 association to a depth of 120 ks, likely detecting ~10,000 stellar X-ray sources.
