摘要:

[简要]我们提出了一个新发现的$μ$ Tau协会(MUTA)的年轻恒星在$\sim$ 150 pc的太阳,是大的Cas-Tau结构的一部分,与$α$英仙座集群同时代和共同移动的分析。我们使用盖亚DR 2数据和BANYAN $Σ$工具(Gagné et al. 2018)确定了500多个候选成员,并根据其颜色-星等图序列与附近其他年轻协会的经验比较,确定其人口的年龄为$62 \pm 7$ Myr。MUTA与Kounkel & Covey(2019)的Theia 160群相关,对应于Liu et al.(2020)的e Tau群。作为此分析的一部分,我们介绍了一种基于光谱模板的迭代方法,以执行准确的校正星际消光的盖亚DR 2光度,需要因为其宽的光度带通。我们表明,MUTA的成员显示出预期的恒星活动和更快的旋转速率增加的速度与老恒星相比,和文献测量的锂当量宽度的9个G 0到K3型成员与我们的年龄测定是一致的。我们发现,目前的质量功能的MUTA是与其他已知的附近的年轻协会。我们确定WD 0340+103是一个热的,大质量的白矮星残骸的B2成员,离开其行星状星云阶段只有270,000年前,构成了一个独立的年龄限制$60_{-6}^{+8}$ Myr的MUTA。

英文摘要:

[Abbreviated] We present an analysis of the newly identified $μ$ Tau Association (MUTA) of young stars at $\sim$ 150 pc from the Sun that is part of the large Cas-Tau structure, coeval and co-moving with the $α$ Persei cluster. We identify more than 500 candidate members using Gaia DR2 data and the BANYAN $Σ$ tool (Gagné et al. 2018) and we determine an age of $62 \pm 7$ Myr for its population based on an empirical comparison of its color-magnitude diagram sequence with those of other nearby young associations. The MUTA is related to the Theia 160 group of Kounkel & Covey (2019) and corresponds to the e Tau group of Liu et al. (2020). As part of this analysis, we introduce an iterative method based on spectral templates to perform an accurate correction of interstellar extinction of Gaia DR2 photometry, needed because of its wide photometric bandpasses. We show that the members of the MUTA display an expected increased rate of stellar activity and faster rotation rates compared with older stars, and that literature measurements of the lithium equivalent width of nine G0 to K3-type members are consistent with our age determination. We show that the present-day mass function of the MUTA is consistent with other known nearby young associations. We identify WD 0340+103 as a hot, massive white dwarf remnant of a B2 member that left its planetary nebula phase only 270,000 years ago, posing an independent age constraint of $60_{-6}^{+8}$ Myr for the MUTA.
