摘要:

蓝离散星是位于恒星星族颜色星等图中一个意想不到的区域的恒星,因为它们看起来比在关闭区域的恒星更蓝更亮。它们是无处不在的,因为它们已经在银河系的场星、疏散星团和球状星团以及本星系群的其他星系中被发现。在这里,我们提出了一个研究的蓝色离散人口的老和富含金属的疏散星团科林斯261,根据盖亚DR 2数据和多时代的径向速度调查进行FLAMES@VLT。我们还分析了蓝离散星粒子数的径向分布,以探讨星系团的动力学状态。蓝离散星的候选者首先被确定为盖亚DR 2,根据它们在CMD上的位置,自行和松弛。它们的径向分布与主序星、红巨星和红团星的径向分布进行了比较,以评估质量分离。此外,他们的径向速度(和相关的不确定性)进行了比较,平均径向速度和速度分散的集群。在可能的情况下,还根据不同时期的径向速度变化识别了密近双星和长周期双星。我们还寻找黄色的散兵游勇,即,可能是进化后的蓝掉队者我们发现了53颗蓝离散星,其中6颗已经在之前的星表中被确认。在蓝离散星的径向速度测量候选者中,我们发现了一个长周期双星,五个密近双星系统,三个非变星,我们还确定了一个黄离散星。

英文摘要:

Blue Stragglers are stars located in an unexpected region of the color-magnitude diagram of a stellar population, as they appear bluer and more luminous than the stars in the turnoff region. They are ubiquitous, since they have been found among Milky Way field stars, in open and globular clusters, and also in other galaxies of the Local Group. Here we present a study on the blue straggler population of the old and metal-rich open cluster Collinder 261, based on Gaia DR2 data and on a multi-epoch radial velocity survey conducted with FLAMES@VLT. We also analyze the radial distribution of the blue straggler population to probe the dynamical status of the cluster. Blue straggler candidates were identified first with Gaia DR2, according to their position on the CMD, proper motions, and parallaxes. Their radial distribution was compared with those of the main sequence, red giant, and red clump stars, to evaluate mass segregation. Additionally, their radial velocities (and the associated uncertainties) were compared with the mean radial velocity and the velocity dispersion of the cluster. When possible, close binaries and long-period binaries were also identified, based on the radial velocity variations for the different epochs. We also looked for yellow stragglers, i.e., possible evolved blue stragglers. We found 53 blue stragglers members of Collinder 261, six of them already identified in previous catalogs. Among the blue straggler candidates with radial velocity measurements, we found one long-period binary, five close-binary systems, three non-variable stars; we also identified one yellow straggler.
