摘要:

大范围分离的双星(> 0.1 pc)或松散结合的恒星协会和星团的成员在出生时在运动学和化学上有很小的差异,但在与它们在银河系内的轨道时间相当的时间尺度上分裂和分离。因此,同向运动的恒星对-约束宽双星或非约束,但coeval明星-的运动学性质是敏感的平滑的潮汐场和银河系的引力摄动谱。在以前的工作中,我们仅使用Tycho-Gaia天体测量解决方案(TGAS)目录中的天体测量数据确定了> 4,000个候选共动对,并发现了大量分离> 1 pc的对。如果没有对这些对中的绝大多数进行径向速度测量,则这些分离处的假阳性率是显著的(~50%)。在这里,我们提出的结果,从我们自己的低分辨率径向速度调查的随机样本的候选人对,以确定和验证真正的共动星对。在311个观测到的共动对中,我们确认了127个共动对,其分离度高达~10 pc,这是我们最初的搜索极限。在0.001 pc至约0.5 pc的分离之间,每次分离的确认对数量随着分离的增加而减少(每次对数分离的数量是均匀的)。从约0.5 pc到10 pc,每个分离的数量大致均匀(每个对数分离的数量增加)。我们确认发现的人口的共动恒星对在非常大的分离,这表明,中断宽双星和恒星协会保持近似空间相干。

英文摘要:

Members of widely-separated stellar binaries (> 0.1 pc) or loosely bound stellar associations and clusters are born with small spreads in kinematics and chemistry, but disrupt and dissociate on timescales comparable to their orbital time within the Milky Way. The kinematic properties of comoving star pairs---bound wide binaries or unbound but coeval stars---are therefore sensitive to both the smooth tidal field and gravitational perturbation spectrum of the Milky Way. In previous work, we identified >4,000 candidate comoving pairs using only astrometric data from the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) catalog and find a large number of pairs with separations > 1 pc. Without radial velocity measurements for the vast majority of these pairs, the false-positive rate at these separations is significant (~50%). Here we present results from our own low-resolution radial-velocity survey of a random sample of the candidate pairs to identify and validate true comoving star pairs. Of the 311 observed comoving pairs, we confirm 127 comoving pairs with separations as large as ~10 pc, our original search limit. Between separations of 0.001 pc to ~0.5 pc, the number of confirmed pairs per separation decreases with increasing separation (number per log separation is uniform). From ~0.5 pc to 10 pc, the number per separation is approximately uniform (number per log separation increases). We confirm the discovery of a population of comoving star pairs at very large separations, suggesting that disrupted wide binaries and stellar associations remain approximately spatially coherent.
