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.
该项目的目的是对迄今发现的最冷的褐矮星Y矮星的光谱能量分布的特征做出贡献。我们在10.4米的加那利大望远镜(GTC)上使用OSIRIS(成像和低分辨率集成光谱学光学系统)仪器获得了6颗Y矮星和1颗T9+ Y 0双星的z波段远红外成像。我们在$z$波段探测到了已知的7颗Y矮星中的5颗,推断出它们的光学到红外颜色,并测量了它们的自行。我们发现Y 0矮星的z-J和z-H色的色散比T矮星的高。发现这种分散与H-w2相关。Y矮星的光红外色的高度分散和可能转向更蓝的颜色可能是不同厚度的硫化物云存在的结果,碱性的耗尽和/或重力效应。
Observations of the planetary nebula RWT 152 with OSIRIS/GTC
RWT 152是少数几个已知的行星状星云之一,其中心恒星是sdO。我们提出了亚角秒红色可调谐滤波器Halpha成像和中等分辨率,长缝光谱的RWT 152获得与OSIRIS/GTC的目的是分析其属性。这张Halalpha图像显示了一个双极星云,有一个明亮的赤道区域和主叶中的多个气泡。一个微弱的圆形光晕围绕着主星云。星云光谱显示出一个非常低激发态的星云,有来自H^+、He^+和双电离金属的微弱发射线,除了极微弱的[NII]6584发射线外,没有来自中性和单电离金属的发射线。如果RWT 152是一个密度受限的行星状星云,那么这些光谱就可以得到解释。在RWT 152中获得了低的S、O、Ar、N和Ne的星云化学丰度,这与导出的高特有速度($\sim$ 92-131 km s $^{-1}$)一起表明该天体是一个晕行星状星云。现有数据与RWT 152一致,RWT 152是从在贫金属环境中形成的低质量前体($\sim$ 1 M $_{\odot}$)演变而来的。

The Galactic O-Star Catalog (GOSC) and the Galactic O-Star Spectroscopic Survey (GOSSS): current status
我们提出的银河系O-星表(GOSC),我们已经在过去的两年中进行了更新:新的光谱类型,更多的对象,额外的信息,并与CDS协调。我们还介绍了银河系O星光谱调查(GOSSS)的更新。自2014年以来,已经发表了一篇新论文(GOSSS-III),并观察到约1000个目标。我们的阵容中增加了四个新的设置,其中两个我们已经获得了100多个光谱:在10.4 m GTC的OSIRIS,我们正在观察北方昏暗的恒星,在2.0 m利物浦望远镜的FRODOspec,我们正在观察北方明亮的恒星。最后,我们还提供了新版本的MGB,与该项目相关的光谱分类工具,以及GOSSS光谱标准网格。
