摘要:

我们使用盖亚DR 2数据来调查经典的Monoceros OB 1地区,并寻找与云复合体共同移动的分散的年轻人口的存在。对自行分布的分析揭示了一个2000 - 3000万年前的年轻恒星协会,距离Mon OB 1复合体的远端约300-400 pc,沿着相同的一般视线。我们描述了新的协会,麒麟座OB 4,并估计它包含1400和2500之间的恒星,假设一个标准的IMF,把它的大小与NGC\,2264。我们从内部自行中发现,Mon OB 4是未束缚的和膨胀的。我们的研究结果似乎揭示了一个更大,更复杂的麒麟座恒星形成区,这表明一个细长的排列,似乎至少是300 x 60 pc。

英文摘要:

We use Gaia DR2 data to survey the classic Monoceros OB1 region and look for the existence of a dispersed young population, co-moving with the cloud complex. An analysis of the distribution of proper motions reveals a 20-30 Myr association of young stars, about 300-400 pc away from the far side of the Mon OB1 complex, along the same general line-of-sight. We characterize the new association, Monoceros OB4, and estimate it contains between 1400 and 2500 stars, assuming a standard IMF, putting it on par in size with NGC\,2264. We find from the internal proper motions that Mon OB4 is unbound and expanding. Our results seem to unveil a larger and more complex Monoceros star formation region, suggesting an elongated arrangement that seems to be at least 300 x 60 pc.
