摘要:

我们确认了66个低质量恒星和褐矮星系统(K7-M9)加上19个视觉或光谱同伴的β风景如画的移动群(BPMG)。其中41个是新发现的,使已知的低质量成员增加了45%。我们还增加了4个对象的14个已知的质量预测小于0.07 Msun。我们高效的光度学+运动学选择过程确定了104个低质量候选者,我们用地基光谱学观察到。我们收集了最新光谱类型(>M5)的红外观测结果,以寻找低重力物体。这些和所有<M5候选者都是用高分辨率光谱仪观察的,以测量径向速度和年轻指标,如锂吸收和H-α发射,这些指标需要确认BPMG成员资格,达到63%的确认率。我们还编制了BPMG成员的最完整的普查,我们使用我们的选择和确认标准测试了效率和假成员分配。我们使用新的人口普查评估了22 +/-600万的年龄组,与过去的估计一致。随着现在密集采样的锂耗尽边界,我们解决了扩大边界的年龄分布或天体物理学的影响,锂燃烧速率。我们发现,69%的AFGKM初选成员是M星,接近预期值75%。然而,BPMG的新IMF显示出约2倍的0.2-0.3 Msun星的赤字。我们预计AFGK对BPMG的普查也是不完整的,可能是由于对最近恒星的搜索偏差。

英文摘要:

We confirm 66 low-mass stellar and brown dwarf systems (K7-M9) plus 19 visual or spectroscopic companions of the beta Pictoris Moving Group (BPMG). Of these, 41 are new discoveries, increasing the known low-mass members by 45%. We also add four objects to the 14 known with masses predicted to be less than 0.07 Msun. Our efficient photometric+kinematic selection process identified 104 low-mass candidates which we observed with ground-based spectroscopy. We collected infrared observations of the latest spectral types (>M5) to search for low gravity objects. These and all <M5 candidates were observed with high-resolution optical spectrographs to measure the radial velocities and youth indicators, such as lithium absorption and H-alpha emission, needed to confirm BPMG membership, achieving a 63% confirmation rate. We also compiled the most complete census of the BPMG membership with which we tested the efficiency and false-membership assignments using our selection and confirmation criteria. We assess a group age of 22 +/- 6 Myr using the new census, consistent with past estimates. With the now densely sampled lithium depletion boundary, we resolve the broadening of the boundary by either an age spread or astrophysical influences on lithium burning rates. We find that 69% of the now known members with AFGKM primaries are M stars, nearing the expected value of 75%. However, the new IMF for the BPMG shows a deficit of 0.2-0.3 Msun stars by a factor of approximately 2. We expect that the AFGK census of the BPMG is also incomplete, probably due to biases of searches towards the nearest stars.
