摘要:

我们报告的金牛座分子云中的前主序对象的性能,在7个中红外和远红外波段观察斯皮策太空望远镜。在我们的约44平方度的地图中,有215个先前确定的金牛座恒星形成区成员;这些成员表现出一系列的斯皮策颜色,我们用来定义仍然被星周尘埃包围的年轻恒星(注意,约20%的真正金牛座成员没有可检测到的尘埃过量)。我们在巡天中寻找具有类似斯皮策性质的新天体,并借助广泛的光学,X射线和紫外成像,发现了148个候选金牛座新成员。我们已经获得了大约一半候选样本的后续光谱,到目前为止,确认了34个新成员,3个可能的新成员和10个可能的新成员,金牛座成员增加了15-20%。在我们有光谱的天体中,有7个现在被确认为河外天体,还有一个是背景Be星。剩下的93个候选天体等待进一步的分析和/或数据来确认或拒绝作为金牛座成员。大多数新成员都是II类M星,并且与先前确定的金牛座成员位于相同的云丝上。在非成员中,斯皮策颜色类似于年轻的尘埃恒星,演化的Be星,行星状星云,碳星,星系和AGN。

英文摘要:

We report on the properties of pre-main-sequence objects in the Taurus molecular clouds as observed in 7 mid- and far-infrared bands with the Spitzer Space Telescope. There are 215 previously-identified members of the Taurus star-forming region in our ~44 square degree map; these members exhibit a range of Spitzer colors that we take to define young stars still surrounded by circumstellar dust (noting that ~20% of the bonafide Taurus members exhibit no detectable dust excesses). We looked for new objects in the survey field with similar Spitzer properties, aided by extensive optical, X-ray, and ultraviolet imaging, and found 148 candidate new members of Taurus. We have obtained follow-up spectroscopy for about half the candidate sample, thus far confirming 34 new members, 3 probable new members, and 10 possible new members, an increase of 15-20% in Taurus members. Of the objects for which we have spectroscopy, 7 are now confirmed extragalactic objects, and one is a background Be star. The remaining 93 candidate objects await additional analysis and/or data to be confirmed or rejected as Taurus members. Most of the new members are Class II M stars and are located along the same cloud filaments as the previously-identified Taurus members. Among non-members with Spitzer colors similar to young, dusty stars are evolved Be stars, planetary nebulae, carbon stars, galaxies, and AGN.
