摘要:

盖亚任务打开了一个新的窗口,在亚公里/秒的水平上了解年轻星团的内部运动学,这对我们理解星团如何形成和演化具有重要意义。我们使用了一个样本的28个集群和协会的年龄从1-5百万年,其中的成员名单可从以前的X射线,光学和红外研究。来自盖亚DR 2的自行显示,这些系统中至少有75%是膨胀的;然而,旋转只在一个系统中检测到。典型的膨胀速度约为0.5 km/s,在一些系统中,膨胀速度存在正的径向梯度。仍然嵌入分子云中的系统比那些部分或完全暴露的系统更不可能膨胀。一维速度色散,范围从1到3公里/秒,意味着我们的样本中的大多数恒星系统是监督的,有些是未绑定的。在包含多个星团或子星团的恒星形成区域中,我们没有发现这些群体正在合并的证据,这意味着如果发生分层星团组装,则必须在嵌入阶段迅速发生。

英文摘要:

The Gaia mission has opened a new window into the internal kinematics of young star clusters at the sub-km/s level, with implications for our understanding of how star clusters form and evolve. We use a sample of 28 clusters and associations with ages from 1-5 Myr, where lists of members are available from previous X-ray, optical, and infrared studies. Proper motions from Gaia DR2 reveals that at least 75% of these systems are expanding; however, rotation is only detected in one system. Typical expansion velocities are on the order of ~0.5 km/s, and, in several systems, there is a positive radial gradient in expansion velocity. Systems that are still embedded in molecular clouds are less likely to be expanding than those that are partially or fully revealed. One-dimensional velocity dispersions, which range from 1 to 3 km/s, imply that most of the stellar systems in our sample are supervirial and that some are unbound. In star-forming regions that contain multiple clusters or subclusters, we find no evidence that these groups are coalescing, implying that hierarchical cluster assembly, if it occurs, must happen rapidly during the embedded stage.
