摘要:

投影旋转速度(vsini)的350个早期的B型主序星在附近的银河系盘的样本。这些恒星距离太阳约1.5kpc,绝大多数在700 pc以内。该分析基于智利Las Campanas天文台麦哲伦粘土6.5米望远镜上的MIKE摄谱仪获得的高分辨率光谱,根据一些关键线吸收比的相对强度和与合成光谱的比较来估计光谱类型。有效温度估计从红免费Q指数,并预计旋转速度,然后确定通过内插法在一个公布的网格,相关的合成全宽半最大的He I线在4026,4388和4471与vsini。由于样本仅根据光谱类型进行选择,因此它包含了一系列在视场、星团和OB星协中的B星。对于0-150 km/s之间的vsini值,发现整个样品获得的vsini分布基本上是平坦的,在低投影旋转速度下只有适度的峰值。考虑到恒星的子样本,似乎有一个梯度的vsini分布与场星呈现出一个较大的比例的慢旋转和星团的恒星分布显示出过剩的恒星与vsini之间的70和130公里/秒。此外,对于一个潜在的逃逸恒星的子样本,我们发现vsini分布类似于在更密集的环境中看到的分布,这可能表明这些逃逸恒星已经受到动力学喷射机制。

英文摘要:

Projected rotational velocities (vsini) are presented for a sample of 350 early B-type main sequence stars in the nearby Galactic disk. The stars are located within ~1.5 kpc from the Sun, and the great majority within 700 pc. The analysis is based on high-resolution spectra obtained with the MIKE spectrograph on the Magellan Clay 6.5-m telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile.Spectral types were estimated based on relative intensities of some key line absorption ratios and comparisons to synthetic spectra. Effective temperatures were estimated from the reddening-free Q index, and projected rotational velocities were then determined via interpolation on a published grid that correlates the synthetic full width at half maximum of the He I lines at 4026, 4388 and 4471 A with vsini. As the sample has been selected solely on the basis of spectral types it contains an selection of B stars in the field, in clusters, and in OB associations. The vsini distribution obtained for the entire sample is found to be essentially flat for vsini values between 0-150 km/s, with only a modest peak at low projected rotational velocities. Considering subsamples of stars, there appears to be a gradation in the vsini distribution with the field stars presenting a larger fraction of the slow rotators and the cluster stars distribution showing an excess of stars with vsini between 70 and 130 km/s. Furthermore, for a subsample of potential runaway stars we find that the vsini distribution resembles the distribution seen in denser environments, which could suggest that these runaway stars have been subject to dynamical ejection mechanisms.
