UCAC4邻近恒星巡天:寻找我们的恒星邻居

UCAC4 Nearby Star Survey: A Search for Our Stellar Neighbors

Charlie Finch, Norbert Zacharias, John Subasavage, Todd Henry, Adric Riedel

摘要:

我们使用来自美国海军天文台第四CCD星表(UCAC 4)的数据,结合AAVSO测光全天巡天(APASS)和2微米全天巡天(2 MASS)的测光,以识别太阳25 pc范围内的恒星。从邻近恒星研究联盟(RECONS)的一个样本的附近的恒星与准确的三角测量,用于产生一组16个新的光度颜色- $M_{K{_s}}$的关系,提供距离估计的不确定性为15%。这项工作扩展了可用于识别附近恒星系统的校准良好的光度距离关系。使用的距离关系与质量削减提取的初始样本的恒星从UCAC 4估计在25 pc。然后利用颜色、自行和现有的文献资料来获得一个干净的红矮星样本,同时限制来自背景巨星的污染量,从而在25 pc范围内获得1761颗候选邻近恒星的样本。其中339个是新发现的,没有先前已知的视差或距离估计,主要是自行小于0.2弧秒/年。其中5颗星的质量估计在10 pc以内,最近的一颗是TYC 3980 1081 1,V $=$ 10.50,估计在5.93 pc。数百颗新恒星被发现离太阳如此之近,这再次表明,在绘制太阳附近的地图方面还有相当多的工作要做,而且可能还会发现更多的附近恒星。

英文摘要:

We use data from the U.S. Naval Observatory fourth CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC4) in combination with photometry from the AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey (APASS) and Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) to identify stars within 25 pc of the Sun. A sample of nearby stars with accurate trigonometric parallaxes from the Research Consortium On Nearby Stars (RECONS) is used to generate a set of 16 new photometric color-$M_{K{_s}}$ relations that provide distance estimates with uncertainties of 15\%. This work expands the available suites of well-calibrated photometric distance relations that can be used to identify nearby stellar systems. The distance relations are used with quality cuts to extract an initial sample of stars from the UCAC4 estimated to be within 25 pc. Color, proper motion and existing literature sources are then used to obtain a clean sample of red dwarfs, while limiting the amount of contamination from background giants, resulting in a sample of 1761 candidate nearby stars within 25 pc. Of these, 339 are new discoveries with no previously known published parallax or distance estimate, primarily with proper motions less than 0.2 arcsec/year. Five stars are estimated to be within 10 pc, with the nearest, TYC 3980 1081 1 with V$=$ 10.50, estimated to be at 5.93 pc. That several hundred new stars have been revealed so close to the Sun illustrates once again that there is considerable work yet to be done to map the solar neighborhood, and that additional nearby stars are likely still to be discovered.
