摘要:

我们提出了1144颗恒星的5201个径向速度测量值,作为正在进行的年轻(1.5亿年)疏散星团M35(NGC 2168)研究的一部分。自1997年以来,我们一直在使用WIYN 3.5米望远镜上的Hydra多目标光谱仪观测M35。我们的恒星样本涵盖了星等范围为13.0<V<16.5(1.6 - 0.8 Msun)的主序星,在空间上延伸到半径为30角分(在距离为805 pc的投影中为7 pc或4个核心半径)。由于它的年轻,M35提供了一个具有一定旋转周期的晚型恒星样本。因此,我们分析了径向速度测量精度作为投影旋转速度的函数。对于窄线恒星(v sin i < 10 km/s),径向速度的精度为0.5 km/s,对于v sin i = 50 km/s的恒星,径向速度的精度降低到1.0 km/s。径向速度分布显示出一个清晰的星团峰值,中心速度为-8.16 +/- 0.05 km/s,允许星团和场星的清晰分离。对于>=3测量的恒星,我们推导出径向速度成员概率,并确定径向速度变量,找到360个星团成员,其中55个显示出显着的径向速度变化。使用这些星系团成员,我们为清除了场星污染的恒星样本构建了颜色星等图。我们还比较了单个和二元星团成员的空间分布,没有发现我们的恒星样本中存在质量分离的证据。考虑到测量精度,我们对星团的径向速度色散设定了0.81 +/- 0.08 km/s的上限。在对未探测到的双星进行校正后,我们得到了0.65 +/- 0.10 km/s的真实径向速度色散。

英文摘要:

We present 5201 radial-velocity measurements of 1144 stars, as part of an ongoing study of the young (150 Myr) open cluster M35 (NGC 2168). We have observed M35 since 1997, using the Hydra Multi-Object Spectrograph on the WIYN 3.5m telescope. Our stellar sample covers main-sequence stars over a magnitude range of 13.0<V<16.5 (1.6 - 0.8 Msun) and extends spatially to a radius of 30 arcminutes (7 pc in projection at a distance of 805 pc or 4 core radii). Due to its youth, M35 provides a sample of late-type stars with a range of rotation periods. Therefore, we analyze the radial-velocity measurement precision as a function of the projected rotational velocity. For narrow-lined stars (v sin i < 10 km/s), the radial velocities have a precision of 0.5 km/s, which degrades to 1.0 km/s for stars with v sin i = 50 km/s. The radial-velocity distribution shows a well-defined cluster peak with a central velocity of -8.16 +/- 0.05 km/s, permitting a clean separation of the cluster and field stars. For stars with >=3 measurements, we derive radial-velocity membership probabilities and identify radial-velocity variables, finding 360 cluster members, 55 of which show significant radial- velocity variability. Using these cluster members, we construct a color-magnitude diagram for our stellar sample cleaned of field star contamination. We also compare the spatial distribution of the single and binary cluster members, finding no evidence for mass segregation in our stellar sample. Accounting for measurement precision, we place an upper limit on the radial-velocity dispersion of the cluster of 0.81 +/- 0.08 km/s. After correcting for undetected binaries, we derive a true radial-velocity dispersion of 0.65 +/- 0.10 km/s.
