摘要:

毕宿星团中有十个所谓的经典白矮星成员。多年来的大量研究预测,该星团中应该有两倍以上的简并恒星。利用PPMXL自行和位置目录,最近的一项研究提出了17个新的白矮星候选者。我们回顾了这些候选人的成员资格,使用已发表的光谱和光度观测,以及通过模拟现场白矮星的污染。除了十个经典的毕宿白矮星,我们发现六个白矮星,可能是毕宿起源和三个对象,有一个不确定的成员身份,由于其未知或不精确的大气参数。其中,预计有两到三个是场星污染。精确的径向速度测量将确认或拒绝候选人。一个结果是,长期存在的问题,即没有白矮星年龄超过340百万年似乎是与集群仍然没有解决。

英文摘要:

The Hyades cluster is known to harbour ten so-called classical white dwarf members. Numerous studies through the years have predicted that more than twice this amount of degenerate stars should be associated with the cluster. Using the PPMXL catalog of proper motions and positions, a recent study proposed 17 new white dwarf candidates. We review the membership of these candidates by using published spectroscopic and photometric observations, as well as by simulating the contamination from field white dwarfs. In addition to the ten classical Hyades white dwarfs, we find six white dwarfs that may be of Hyades origin and three more objects that have an uncertain membership status due to their unknown or imprecise atmospheric parameters. Among those, two to three are expected as field stars contamination. Accurate radial velocity measurements will confirm or reject the candidates. One consequence is that the longstanding problem that no white dwarf older than ~340 Myr appears to be associated with the cluster remains unsolved.
