The massive star binary fraction in young open clusters - III. IC 2944 and the Cen OB2 association

H. Sana, G. James, E. Gosset

摘要:

利用一组扩展的多历元高分辨率高信噪比光谱,我们重新讨论了IC 2944和Cen OB 2星协中O型星的多重性。我们提出了新的证据,二元性的五个对象,我们确认的多重性质的另外两个。我们推导出HD 100099,HD 101436和HD 101190的第一轨道解,并为HD 101205是一个四重系统提供了额外的支持。在我们的样品中的最小光谱二元分数是f_min = 0.57。使用数值模拟,我们表明,我们的观测活动的检测率接近90%,从而留下了很少的空间未被检测到的光谱双星系统。IC 2944中O星总体的统计特性在不确定性范围内与本系列早期论文中获得的结果相似,尽管样本量效应限制了比较的意义。使用新衍生的光谱分析,我们重新评估了IC 2944的距离,并获得了2.3+/-0.3 kpc,与以前的研究一致。我们还证实,就O型星而言,IC 2944星团很可能是一个单一的实体。

英文摘要:

Using an extended set of multi-epoch high-resolution high signal-to-noise ratio optical spectra, we readdress the multiplicity properties of the O-type stars in IC 2944 and in the Cen OB2 association. We present new evidence of binarity for five objects and we confirm the multiple nature of another two. We derive the first orbital solutions for HD 100099, HD 101436 and HD 101190 and we provide additional support for HD 101205 being a quadruple system. The minimal spectroscopic binary fraction in our sample is f_min = 0.57. Using numerical simulations, we show that the detection rate of our observational campaign is close to 90 per cent, leaving thus little room for undetected spectroscopic binary systems. The statistical properties of the O-star population in IC 2944 are similar, within the uncertainties, to the results obtained in the earlier papers in this series despite the fact that sample size effects limit the significance of the comparison. Using newly derived spectroscopic parallaxes, we reassess the distance to IC 2944 and obtained 2.3+/-0.3 kpc, in agreement with previous studies. We also confirm that, as far as the O stars are concerned, the IC 2944 cluster is most likely a single entity.
