摘要:

为了充分理解分子云的引力坍缩、恒星形成过程和星周盘的演化,必须在不同的银河系环境中,在一定的恒星含量和位置范围内研究这些现象。年轻的大质量协会天鹅座OB2,在天鹅座-X区域,是一个独特的目标,研究如何恒星形成和星周盘的演变进行了大量的大质量恒星的存在。我们提出了一个目录获得的最近的光学观测的r,i,z过滤器与OSIRIS,安装在$10.4\,m$ GTC望远镜,这是最深的光学目录天鹅座OB2的日期。该目录包括64157个来源,以M = 0.15太阳质量,在采用的距离和年龄的天鹅座OB2。共有38300个光源在所有三个波段都具有良好的测光性能。我们结合光学目录与现有的X射线数据的这一地区,以确定在光学图的集群轨迹。在r-i与i-z图中的簇轨迹与在2.64 <AV <5.57范围内的光学选择的簇成员的消光相容。我们得出了该地区的灭绝图,发现在协会的中心AV = 4.33的中值,向西北方向减少。在色星等图中,主序星分布的形状与前景中距离太阳约850 +/-25 pc处的遮蔽云的存在相一致。

英文摘要:

In order to fully understand the gravitational collapse of molecular clouds, the star formation process and the evolution of circumstellar disks, these phenomena must be studied in different Galactic environments with a range of stellar contents and positions in the Galaxy. The young massive association Cygnus OB2, in the Cygnus-X region, is an unique target to study how star formation and the evolution of circumstellar disks proceed in the presence of a large number of massive stars. We present a catalog obtained with recent optical observations in r,i,z filters with OSIRIS, mounted on the $10.4\,m$ GTC telescope, which is the deepest optical catalog of Cyg OB2 to date. The catalog consist of 64157 sources down to M=0.15 solar masses at the adopted distance and age of Cyg OB2. A total of 38300 sources have good photometry in all three bands. We combined the optical catalog with existing X-ray data of this region, in order to define the cluster locus in the optical diagrams. The cluster locus in the r-i vs. i-z diagram is compatible with an extinction of the optically selected cluster members in the 2.64<AV<5.57 range. We derive an extinction map of the region, finding a median value of AV=4.33 in the center of the association, decreasing toward the north-west. In the color-magnitude diagrams, the shape of the distribution of main sequence stars is compatible with the presence of an obscuring cloud in the foreground at about 850+/-25 pc from the Sun.
