用Gaia - I检验星团的初始条件和动力学演化

Testing the initial conditions and dynamical evolution of star clusters using Gaia - I

Richard J. Allison

摘要:

我们研究逃逸恒星的性质与其诞生星团的初始条件之间的关系。我们发现逃逸恒星的数量,它们的空间分布,以及它们的运动学表现出依赖于主机集群的初始条件(子结构和维里比)。因此,逃逸恒星的性质可以用来告诉我们恒星形成的初始条件,也提供了一个了解星团动力学历史的窗口。欧空局盖亚任务将以所需的精度观测这些逃逸恒星的位置和自行,使我们能够研究局部星团的动态演化,并对恒星形成的初始条件提供重要的见解。

英文摘要:

We investigate how the properties of escaping stars are related to the initial conditions of their birth clusters. We find that the number of escaping stars, their spatial distribution, and their kinematics show a dependence on the initial conditions of the host cluster (substructure and virial ratio). Thus the properties of escaping stars can be used to inform us of the initial conditions of star formation, and also provide a window into the dynamical history of star clusters. The ESA Gaia mission will make observations of the positions and proper motions of these escaping stars at the required accuracy to allow us to investigate the dynamical evolution of local star clusters and provide an important insight into the initial conditions of star formation.
