2MASS测光中的疏散星团II。质量函数与质量分离

Open clusters in 2MASS photometry II. Mass Function and Mass Segregation

L. Bukowiecki, G. Maciejewski, P. Konorski, A. Niedzielski

摘要:

这是我们在2微米全天巡天测光基础上对疏散星团研究的继续。本文给出了银河系中599个已知的疏散星团的质量函数分析结果。该项目的主要目标是研究疏散星团的动力学状态、质量分离效应以及对星团总质量和成员数目的估计。我们注意到,团簇的大小(核心和整体半径)减少,随着动力学演化的集群。星系团核心的演化速度比晕区快,从星系团动力学演化的开始,包含的低质量恒星就成比例地少。我们还注意到,较大的星团的恒星密度会降低。最后,我们发现了质量函数斜率随团簇动力学演化呈指数衰减的经验关系。

英文摘要:

This is a continuation of our study of open clusters based on the 2--Micron All Sky Survey photometry. Here we present the results of the mass function analysis for 599 known open clusters in the Milky Way. The main goal of this project is a study of the dynamical state of open clusters, the mass segregation effect and an estimate of the total mass and the number of cluster members. We noticed that the cluster size (core and overall radii) decreases along dynamical evolution of clusters. The cluster cores evolve faster than the halo regions and contain proportionally less low-mass stars from the beginning of the cluster dynamical evolution. We also noticed, that the star density decreases for the larger clusters. Finally, we found an empirical relation describing the exponential decrease of the mass function slope with the dynamical evolution of clusters.
