Low-mass members of young stellar associations exhibit a wide spread of rotation periods. Such a spread originates from distributions of masses and initial rotation periods. However, multiplicity can also play a significant role. We investigate the role played by physical companions in shortening the primordial disc lifetime. We have compiled the most extensive list of low-mass members of the young 25-Myr beta Pictoris association. We have measured the rotation periods of about all members and used updated UVWXYZ components to assess their membership. We built the rotation period distribution distinguishing between bona fide members and candidate members and according to their multiplicity status. We found that single stars and components of multiple systems in wide orbits (>80 AU) have rotation periods that exhibit a well defined sequence arising from mass distribution. All components of multiple systems in close orbits (<80 AU) have rotation periods significantly shorter than their equal-mass single counterparts. A comparison with the younger 13 Myr h Per cluster and with the older 40-Myr open clusters/stellar associations NGC2547, IC2391, Argus, and IC2602 and the 130-Myr Pleiades shows that whereas the evolution of F-G stars is well reproduced by angular momentum evolution models, this is not the case for the slow K and early-M stars. Finally, we found that the amplitude of their light curves is correlated neither with rotation nor with mass. Once single stars and wide components of multiple systems are separated from close components of multiple systems, the rotation period distributions exhibit a well defined dependence on mass that allows to make a meaningful comparison with similar distributions of either younger or older associations/clusters. Such cleaned distributions allow to use the stellar rotation period as age indicator, meaningfully for F and G type stars.
Chronostar: a novel Bayesian method for kinematic age determination. I. Derivation and application to the β Pictoris Moving Group
Gaia DR 2提供了一个前所未有的具有完整6D相空间测量的恒星样本,这就需要一种自洽的方法来发现和表征被称为移动群体或协会的相空间超密度。在这里,我们提出了Chronostar,一个新的贝叶斯分析工具,满足这一需求。Chronostar使用期望最大化算法来消除关联成员列表之间的循环依赖关系,并拟合其相空间分布,从而可以发现运动数据集内的未知关联。它使用通过银河势的轨道的前向建模,以克服向后追踪其运动学具有显著观测误差的恒星的问题,从而提供可靠的年龄。在使用具有真实测量误差和复杂初始分布的合成数据集进行的测试中,Chronostar成功地恢复了成员资格分配和运动学年龄高达约1亿年。在对$β$如画移动星群相空间附近的真实恒星运动学数据的测试中,Chronostar在没有任何人为干预的情况下成功地重新发现了星协,确定了15个新的可能成员,证实了43个候选成员,并返回了17.8+-1.2百万年的运动学年龄。在这个过程中,我们还重新发现了Tucana-Horologium移动群,我们获得了36.3+1.3-1.4百万年的运动学年龄。
The Hercules-Lyra Association revisited New age estimation and multiplicity study
她-莱尔协会,附近的一个年轻的MG,包含几十个ZAMS星的SpT F到M。Her-Lyr关联的存在和性质在文献中有争议和讨论。目前的工作重新评估属性和成员名单的她Lyr协会。根据运动学和年龄许多物体形成多个系统,或者有低质量的同伴,所以我们需要考虑多重性。我们使用自己的新成像观测和档案数据来识别多个系统。运动学候选者的颜色和幅度进行比较,等时线。我们得到进一步的信息,年龄的基础上,锂消耗,旋转,日冕和色球活动。一组典型的成员被确定为推断平均属性。成员资格标准是从平均值属性中推导出来的,用于丢弃非成员。从文献中选出的候选者属于35个恒星系统,其中42.9%是多恒星系统。在这项工作中,四个多重系统被确认为共同的自行。本文给出了HH Leo B和C双星系统的轨道解。事实上,一群候选人表现出了年轻人的签名。确定了7个典型成员。典型的Her-Lyr成员的EWLi分布很广,与昴星团和UMa群的EWLi分布相似。陀螺年代学给出的年龄为2.57 +-4600万年,介于昴星团和大熊座群之间。色球层和日冕活动的测量支持年轻的年龄。四个成员标准的基础上提出的运动学,EWLi,色球活动,陀螺仪。年龄总共有11颗恒星被确定为某些成员,包括共同运动的物体加上另外23个可能的成员,而14个候选者是可疑的或可以被拒绝。然而,与质量函数的比较表明存在大量额外的未识别的低质量成员。

Characterization of very wide companion candidates to young stars with planets and disks
发现恒星系统的广泛同伴使我们能够限制后者的动力学环境和年龄。我们研究了四个不同恒星系统的四个可能的宽伴星。中心恒星是V4046 Sgr、HIP 74865、HIP 65426和HIP 73145,它们可能的伴星分别是2 MASS J18152222-3249329、2 MASS J15174874-3028484、2 MASS J13242119-5129503和2 MASS J14571503-3543505。V4046 Sgr是$β$ -如画移动星群的成员,而其余的恒星系统被认为是天蝎座-半人马座星协的成员。选定的恒星系统特别有趣,因为它们都已经知道拥有一个低质量的同伴和/或空间分辨盘。识别这些恒星的更广泛的同伴可以提高他们的资格作为基准,了解各种三元系统的形成渠道,并可以帮助我们确定他们可能未被发现的内部,更广泛的同伴在更高的多重性的情况下的轨道。我们发现2 MASS J15174874-3028484(0.11 $M_{\odot}$,7.4 $\pm$ 0.5百万年),一个已经被认可的天蝎座-半人马座星协的前主序(PMS)成员,是HIP 74865的极有可能的广泛伴星。2 MASS J13242119-5129503(0.04 $M_{\odot}$,16 $\pm$ 2.2 Myr)被排除为HIP 65426的可能的宽伴星,但被证实是天蝎座-半人马座星协的新亚恒星成员。…
