摘要:

金牛座-御夫座星协及其相关的分子云是研究恒星和行星形成的基准星群。金牛座-御夫座的人口普查已经进行了70多年,并继承了输入研究的偏差,不完整性和系统不确定性。推断出的IMF的形状非常不寻常,并且存在几颗孤立的盘状恒星,这表明可能还有其他(可能没有盘状)成员有待发现。因此,我们已经开始对金牛座-御夫座的成员资格进行全球重新评估,利用新的数据和更好的青年和运动学成员资格定义。作为第一步,我们重新考虑所有无磁盘的候选成员从文献与光谱类型$\ge$ F0,$3^h50^m<α<5^h40^m$,和$14^{\circ}<δ<34^{\circ}$的成员资格。我们结合文献中的数据与Keck/HIRES和UH 88/SNIFS光谱测试的成员资格,这些候选人使用HR图的位置,自行车,RV,H $α$,锂,和表面重力。我们发现了218个确认或可能的金牛座成员,160个确认或可能的闯入者,只有18个仍然缺乏足够的证据得出坚定的结论。这些恒星中有很大一部分(81/218=37%)没有被列入最新的经典成员列表。有趣的是,在分子云附近几乎没有其他成员,保留了在过去的工作中被认为是异常的IMF。许多可能的金牛座成员广泛分布在搜索区域。当与已知的磁盘主机相结合时,我们更新的人口普查揭示了两个制度:一个具有高磁盘分数(指示年轻)的高密度人口,广泛追踪分子云,以及一个具有低磁盘分数(因此可能更老)的低密度人口,最有可能代表前几代恒星形成。

英文摘要:

The Taurus-Auriga association and its associated molecular cloud are a benchmark population for studies of star and planet formation. The census of Taurus-Auriga has been assembled over seven decades and has inherited the biases, incompleteness, and systematic uncertainties of the input studies. The notably unusual shape of the inferred IMF and the existence of several isolated disk-bearing stars suggest that additional (likely disk-free) members might remain to be discovered. We therefore have begun a global reassessment of the membership of Taurus-Auriga that exploits new data and better definitions of youth and kinematic membership. As a first step, we reconsider the membership of all disk-free candidate members from the literature with spectral type $\ge$F0, $3^h50^m<α<5^h40^m$, and $14^{\circ}<δ<34^{\circ}$. We combine data from the literature with Keck/HIRES and UH88/SNIFS spectra to test the membership of these candidates using HR diagram positions, proper motions, RVs, H$α$, lithium, and surface gravity. We find 218 confirmed or likely Taurus members, 160 confirmed or likely interlopers, and only 18 that still lack sufficient evidence to draw firm conclusions. A significant fraction of these stars (81/218=37%) are not included in the most recent canonical member lists. Intriguingly, there are few additional members in the immediate vicinity of the molecular clouds, preserving the IMFs that have been deemed anomalous in past work. Many of the likely Taurus members are distributed broadly across the search area. When combined with known disk hosts, our updated census reveals two regimes: a high-density population with a high disk fraction (indicative of youth) that broadly traces the molecular clouds, and a low-density population with low disk fraction (hence likely older) that most likely represents previous generations of star formation.
