摘要:

为了获得恒星和亚恒星人口的完整普查,在$\sim1$ Myr古老的猎户座星云星团中,我们使用了哈勃太空望远镜的宽视场相机3的红外通道,带有F139 M和F130 N滤波器。这些带通对应于$1.4 μ$ m H $_2$ O吸收特征和相邻的无线连续区。在探测到的$4,504$源中,$3,352$(约$75\%$)在F130 N滤光片中比m $_{130}=14$(织女星)更暗,亮度对应于$\sim 1$ Myr处的氢燃烧极限质量(M $\simeq 0.072 M_\odot$)。然而,其中只有$742$源具有负的F130 M-139 N色指数,表明吸收中存在H $_2$ O蒸气,因此可以被分类为真正的M和L矮星,有效温度T $\lesssim 2850$ K在假定的$1$ Myr星系团年龄。在我们的色星等图上,这个具有H $_2$ O吸收的源群与具有正F130 M-F139 N色指数的高度变红的恒星和星系的较大背景群明显不同,并且可以追溯到我们调查的灵敏度极限m $_{130}\simeq 21.5$,对应于$1$ Myr老$\simeq 3 $ M $_{Jup}$,行星质量的物体在大约2个星等的视觉消光下。预测$1, 2$和$3$ Myr(下至$\sim 1 $ M $_{Jup}$)的亚恒星等时线的BT-Settl族理论模型未能再现在M $\lesssim 20 $ M $_{Jup}$处观测到的H $_2$ O色指数。我们进行贝叶斯分析,以确定我们的样本中的每个亚恒星成员的消光,质量和有效温度,以及其成员概率。

英文摘要:

In order to obtain a complete census of the stellar and sub-stellar population, down to a few M$_{Jup}$ in the $\sim1$ Myr old Orion Nebula Cluster, we used the infrared channel of the Wide Field Camera 3 of the Hubble Space Telescope with the F139M and F130N filters. These bandpasses correspond to the $1.4 μ$m H$_2$O absorption feature and an adjacent line-free continuum region. Out of $4,504$ detected sources, $3,352$ (about $75\%$) appear fainter than m$_{130}=14$ (Vega mag) in the F130N filter, a brightness corresponding to the hydrogen-burning limit mass (M$\simeq 0.072 M_\odot$) at $\sim 1$ Myr. Of these, however, only $742$ sources have a negative F130M-139N color index, indicative of the presence of H$_2$O vapor in absorption, and can therefore be classified as bona-fide M and L dwarfs, with effective temperatures T$\lesssim 2850$ K at an assumed $1$ Myr cluster age. On our color-magnitude diagram, this population of sources with H$_2$O absorption appears clearly distinct from the larger background population of highly reddened stars and galaxies with positive F130M-F139N color index, and can be traced down to the sensitivity limit of our survey, m$_{130}\simeq 21.5$, corresponding to a $1$ Myr old $\simeq 3 $M$_{Jup}$, planetary mass object under about 2 magnitudes of visual extinction. Theoretical models of the BT-Settl family predicting substellar isochrones of $1, 2$ and $3$ Myr (down to $\sim 1 $M$_{Jup}$) fail to reproduce the observed H$_2$O color index at M$\lesssim 20 $M$_{Jup}$. We perform a Bayesian analysis to determine extinction, mass and effective temperature of each sub-stellar member of our sample, together with its membership probability.
