S. E. Dahm, L. A. Hillenbrand

摘要:

NGC 7129是一个明亮的反射星云,位于分子云复合体中,l=105.4,b=+9.9,距离约1.15 kpc。在反射星云中,有一个年轻的星团,由四颗早期型恒星组成:BD+65 1638(B3 V)、BD+65 1637(B3 e)、SVS 13(B5 e)和LkH-α 234(B8 e)。在这个区域中发现了大约80个比V~23亮的H-α发射源,其中许多可能是该星团的金牛T星成员。我们还提出了深(V~23),光学(VRI)测光的领域集中在反射星云和光谱类型的130多个来源确定的低色散,光学光谱。在颜色星等图中,狭窄的主序表明恒星的形成是快速和同时代的。使用主序前演化模型,推断H-α和文献确定的具有确定光谱类型的X射线发射源的中位年龄约为180万年。我们对分子云的结构和年轻恒星天体的分布的解释是,BD+65 1638主要负责疏散分子云内的水泡状空腔。LkH-α 234和几个在近红外自适应光学成像中明显的嵌入源最近在压缩分子气体的脊内形成。这个由低质量恒星组成的致密星团与早期型成员同时形成,集中在中心半径约为0.7秒差距的范围内。恒星的形成同时发生在半径约为3 pc的半圆弧中,该弧勾勒出剩余的分子气体密集区。BD+65 1638、BD+65 1637、SVS 13、LkH-α 234和V350 Cep的高色散光谱。这些光谱的背景下,推断这些恒星的拱星环境进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

NGC 7129 is a bright reflection nebula located in the molecular cloud complex near l=105.4, b=+9.9, about 1.15 kpc distant. Embedded within the reflection nebula is a young cluster dominated by a compact grouping of four early-type stars: BD+65 1638 (B3V), BD+65 1637 (B3e), SVS 13 (B5e), and LkH-alpha 234 (B8e). About 80 H-alpha emission sources brighter than V~23 are identified in the region, many of which are presumably T Tauri star members of the cluster. We also present deep (V~23), optical (VRI) photometry of a field centered on the reflection nebula and spectral types for more than 130 sources determined from low dispersion, optical spectroscopy. The narrow pre-main sequence evident in the color-magnitude diagram suggests that star formation was rapid and coeval. A median age of about 1.8 Myr is inferred for the H-alpha and literature-identified X-ray emission sources having established spectral types, using pre-main sequence evolutionary models. Our interpretation of the structure of the molecular cloud and the distribution of young stellar objects is that BD+65 1638 is primarily responsible for evacuating the blister-like cavity within the molecular cloud. LkH-alpha 234 and several embedded sources evident in near infrared adaptive optics imaging have formed recently within the ridge of compressed molecular gas. The compact cluster of low-mass stars formed concurrently with the early-type members, concentrated within a central radius of ~0.7 pc. Star formation is simultaneously occurring in a semi-circular arc some ~3 pc in radius that outlines remaining dense regions of molecular gas. High dispersion, optical spectra are presented for BD+65 1638, BD+65 1637, SVS 13, LkH-alpha 234, and V350 Cep. These spectra are discussed in the context of the circumstellar environments inferred for these stars.
