摘要:

使用{ \it Gaia}早期数据发布3(EDR 3)视差和贝叶斯推断,我们推断韦斯特伦德1(Wd 1)集群的视差。我们发现$0.34\pm{0.05}$ mas的视差对应于$2.8^{+0.7}_{-0.6}$ kpc的距离。新的{ \it Gaia} EDR 3距离与我们先前使用{ \it Gaia} DR 2松弛的结果一致。这证实了Wd 1的质量和年龄都比之前假设的要小。与DR 2相比,EDR 3每颗恒星的视差不确定度降低了30%。然而,集群的总视差不确定性保持不变。这表明,不确定性是由系统学,这可能是由于拥挤,集群内的运动,或运动由于双轨道占主导地位。

英文摘要:

Using {\it Gaia} Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) parallaxes and Bayesian inference, we infer a parallax of the Westerlund 1 (Wd1) cluster. We find a parallax of $0.34\pm{0.05}$ mas corresponding to a distance of $2.8^{+0.7}_{-0.6}$ kpc. The new {\it Gaia} EDR3 distance is consistent with our previous result using {\it Gaia} DR2 parallaxes. This confirms that Wd1 is less massive and older than previously assumed. Compared to DR2, the EDR3 individual parallax uncertainties for each star decreased by 30\%. However, the aggregate parallax uncertainty for the cluster remained the same. This suggests that the uncertainty is dominated by systematics, which is possibly due to crowding, motions within the cluster, or motions due to binary orbits.
