摘要:

我们介绍了最近作为UKIRT红外深空(UKIDSS)星系团调查(GCS)数据发布9(DR 9)的一部分发布的整个昂宿星团的深宽场近红外调查的结果。我们已经确定了一个样本的约1000个昴星团成员候选人结合测光在五个近红外通带和自行来自多个时代提供的UKIDSS GCS DR 9。我们还提供了修订后的成员所有先前公布的昴星团低质量恒星和褐矮星在过去十年中恢复UKIDSS GCS DR 9昴星团调查的基础上,新的测光和天体测量提供的GCS。我们没有发现K-波段的变化在大于0.08马格的昴星团成员的证据。此外,我们推断一个亚恒星的二进制频率为22-31%,在0.075-0.03 Msun的范围内分离小于100金。我们采用了两个独立的,但互补的方法来获得集群的光度和质量函数:概率分析和更标准的方法,包括更严格的天体测量和光度削减。我们发现,从这两种方法得到的光度和质量函数是非常相似的。我们导出了质量在0.6-0.03 Msun范围内的昴星团质量函数,发现它最好用对数正态表示再现,平均特征质量为0.24(+0.01-0.03)Msun,与早期的研究和场质量函数的外推一致。

英文摘要:

We present the results of a deep wide-field near-infrared survey of the entire Pleiades cluster recently released as part of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky (UKIDSS) Galactic Clusters Survey (GCS) Data Release 9 (DR9). We have identified a sample of ~1000 Pleiades cluster member candidates combining photometry in five near-infrared passbands and proper motions derived from the multiple epochs provided by the UKIDSS GCS DR9. We also provide revised membership for all previously published Pleiades low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the past decade recovered in the UKIDSS GCS DR9 Pleiades survey based on the new photometry and astrometry provided by the GCS. We find no evidence of K-band variability in the Pleiades members larger than ~0.08 mag. In addition, we infer a substellar binary frequency of 22-31% in the 0.075-0.03 Msun range for separations less than ~100 au. We employed two independent but complementary methods to derive the cluster luminosity and mass functions: a probabilistic analysis and a more standard approach consisting of stricter astrometric and photometric cuts. We found that the resulting luminosity and mass functions obtained from both methods are very similar. We derive the Pleiades mass function in the 0.6-0.03 Msun mass range and found that it is best reproduced by a log-normal representation with a mean characteristic mass of 0.24(+0.01-0.03) Msun, in agreement with earlier studies and the extrapolation of the field mass function.
