摘要:

在依巴谷天体测量数据的新的缩减和星团的新的几何距离测量的发展之后,昴星团的依巴谷视差和其他独立的距离估计之间的紧张关系仍然存在。昴星团距离依巴谷视差很短,预测在太阳附近有许多恒星在给定的光球丰度下是亚发光的。我们测试这一假设使用光谱丰度的依巴谷星表中的一个恒星的子集,占据了相同的区域作为昴星团的颜色星等图。利用KPNO 4-m中阶梯光栅摄谱仪获得的高分辨率光谱,计算了依巴谷星表中170颗邻近G型和K型场矮星的恒星参数。我们的分析表明,当采用依巴谷视差时,我们的大多数样本星都遵循经验颜色-星等关系。一小部分恒星太暗相比,主序拟合关系的$ΔM_V \geq 0.3$等,但差异是边际在$2σ$水平部分是由于相对较大的视差误差。另一方面,我们发现,恒星的光度距离显示的签名,由锂吸收线强度和$R'_{\rm HK}$色球活动指数确定的青年是一致的依巴谷天体。我们的结果是矛盾的建议,从主序星拟合的昴星团距离显着改变恒星活动和/或其恒星的年轻年龄,并提供了一个额外的支持性证据的长距离尺度的昴星团。

英文摘要:

The tension between the Hipparcos parallax of the Pleiades and other independent distance estimates continues even after the new reduction of the Hipparcos astrometric data and the development of a new geometric distance measurement for the cluster. A short Pleiades distance from the Hipparcos parallax predicts a number of stars in the solar neighborhood that are sub-luminous at a given photospheric abundance. We test this hypothesis using spectroscopic abundances for a subset of stars in the Hipparcos catalog, which occupy the same region as the Pleiades in the color-magnitude diagram. We derive stellar parameters for 170 nearby G and K type field dwarfs in the Hipparcos catalog based on high-resolution spectra obtained using KPNO 4-m echelle spectrograph. Our analysis shows that, when the Hipparcos parallaxes are adopted, most of our sample stars follow empirical color-magnitude relations. A small fraction of stars are too faint compared to main-sequence fitting relations by $ΔM_V \geq 0.3$ mag, but the differences are marginal at a $2σ$ level partly due to relatively large parallax errors. On the other hand, we find that photometric distances of stars showing signatures of youth as determined from lithium absorption line strengths and $R'_{\rm HK}$ chromospheric activity indices are consistent with the Hipparcos parallaxes. Our result is contradictory to a suggestion that the Pleiades distance from main-sequence fitting is significantly altered by stellar activity and/or the young age of its stars, and provides an additional supporting evidence for the long distance scale of the Pleiades.
