首次探测到年轻的疏散星团Eta Chamaeleontis周围的低质量恒星晕

First detection of a low-mass stellar halo around the young open cluster Eta Chamaeleontis

摘要:

我们已经在年轻的疏散星团Eta Chamaeleontis的5.5度范围内确定了几颗富含锂的低质量(0.08<M<0.3 Msun)恒星,几乎是以前搜索工作半径的四倍。在这些恒星中,我们提出了4个新的可能的星团成员,和3个需要进一步研究的可能成员。这些发现与星团当前配置的动力学起源是一致的,而不需要调用一个异常的初始质量函数缺乏低质量的物体。候选者是根据DENIS和2MASS测光、NOMAD天体测量和广泛的后续光谱学选择的。

英文摘要:

We have identified several lithium-rich low-mass (0.08<M<0.3 Msun) stars within 5.5 deg of the young open cluster Eta Chamaeleontis, nearly four times the radius of previous search efforts. Of these stars we propose 4 new probable cluster members, and 3 possible members requiring further investigation. These findings are consistent with a dynamical origin for the current configuration of the cluster, without the need to invoke an abnormal Initial Mass Function deficient in low-mass objects. Candidates were selected on the basis of DENIS and 2MASS photometry, NOMAD astrometry and extensive follow-up spectroscopy.
