摘要:

我们研究了NGC 6357复合体中年轻恒星及其盘的性质,集中在复合体中质量最大的星团:Pismis 24。我们在NGC 6357复合体中发现了两个新的年轻星团。我们给出了Pismis 24的修正距离估计为1.7+-0.2 kpc。我们发现,大质量恒星Pis 24-18是一个双星系统,次级恒星是这对恒星的主要X射线源。我们推导出的集群质量函数,并发现,在低质量的完整性限制,它同意与IMF的梯形集群。我们得出的年龄中位数为1万年的Pismis 24集群成员。我们在星团的HST存档图像中发现了五个probendid,其中四个是新发现的,在所有情况下,probendid的尾巴都直接指向远离大质量恒星系统Pis 24-1的方向。其中一颗行星显示了第二条尾巴,指向远离Pis 24-2的方向,这表明该天体同时从两个方向被光蒸发。我们发现Pismis 24的整体盘频率(约30%)远低于其他一些年龄相似的星团,如猎户座星云星团。当比较不同年龄和不同(大质量)恒星含量的19个星团/恒星形成区域的磁盘频率时,我们发现,在拥有超大质量恒星(通常早于O 5)的星团中,如Pismis 24,磁盘的消散速度大约是没有超大质量恒星的星团/恒星形成区域的两倍。在Pismis 24中,我们发现在距离Pis 24-1 0.6 pc的投影距离内的圆盘频率显著低于更大半径处的圆盘频率(~19% vs. ~37%)。我们认为,光蒸发和辐射与电离紫外光子从附近的大质量恒星的组合,造成增加MRI引起的湍流和相关的吸积活动,发挥了重要作用,在Pismis 24的低质量恒星盘的耗散。

英文摘要:

(abridged) We investigate the properties of young stars and their disks in the NGC 6357 complex, concentrating on the most massive star cluster within the complex: Pismis 24. We discover two new young clusters in the NGC 6357 complex. We give a revised distance estimate for Pismis 24 of 1.7+-0.2 kpc. We find that the massive star Pis 24-18 is a binary system, with the secondary being the main X-ray source of the pair. We derive the cluster mass function and find that up to the completeness limit at low masses it agrees well with the IMF of the Trapezium cluster. We derive a median age of 1 Myr for the Pismis 24 cluster members. We find five proplyds in HST archival imaging of the cluster, four of which are newly found. In all cases the proplyd tails are pointing directly away from the massive star system Pis 24-1. One proplyd shows a second tail, pointing away from Pis 24-2, suggesting this object is being photoevaporated from two directions simultaneously. We find that the global disk frequency (~30%) in Pismis 24 is much lower than some other clusters of similar age, such as the Orion Nebula Cluster. When comparing the disk frequencies in 19 clusters/star-forming regions of various ages and different (massive) star content, we find that the disks in clusters harboring extremely massive stars (typically earlier than O5), like Pismis 24, are dissipated roughly twice as quickly as in clusters/star-forming regions without extremely massive stars. Within Pismis 24, we find that the disk frequency within a projected distance of 0.6 pc from Pis 24-1 is substantially lower than at larger radii (~19% vs. ~37%). We argue for a combination of photoevaporation and irradiation with ionizing UV photons from nearby massive stars, causing increased MRI-induced turbulence and associated accretion activity, to play an important role in the dissipation of low-mass star disks in Pismis 24.
