年轻星团中恒星形成的多次爆发:猎户座星云团的情况

Multiple bursts of star formation in young star clusters: The case of the Orion Nebula Cluster

Tereza Jerabkova

摘要:

年轻星团(YSC)与解决恒星星族是非常适合研究恒星-团簇形成。在大多数情况下,在YSC中发现的(前主序星)恒星星族是同时代的,其固有年龄跨度高达100万年。这样的观测可以理解为YSC在一次爆发中形成,恒星形成被恒星反馈截断。最近的发现,猎户座星云星团(ONC)的颜色星等图包含三个定义明确的年龄分离的人口似乎打破了这个模型。这意味着ONC在三次爆发中形成,在最后一次爆发中恒星形成仍在进行。我们提出了新的观测结果,重点是在ONC使用OmegaCAM测光和盖亚DR 2测量的三个人口。我们还描述了一个理论模型,可以解释这些意见之间的相互作用恒星反馈和集群动力学。

英文摘要:

Young star clusters (YSCs) with resolved stellar populations are well suited for studying star-cluster formation. In most cases, the (pre-main-sequence) stellar populations found in the YSCs are coeval with an intrinsic age spread of up to 1Myr. Such observations can be understood as the YSCs having formed in one burst, which star formation was truncated by stellar feedback. The recent discovery that the colour-magnitude diagram of the Orion Nebula Clusters (ONC) contains three well defined age-separated populations appears to shatter this model. The implication is that the ONC formed in three bursts, with star formation still on-going in the last burst. We present new observational results focusing on the three populations in the ONC using OmegaCAM photometry and Gaia DR2 measurements. We also describe a theoretical model which may explain these observations by an interplay between stellar feedback and cluster dynamics.
