年轻星系团研究用近红外数据的隐藏能量:RCW 38的说明性事例

Hidden power of near-infrared data for the study of young clusters: Illustrative case of RCW 38

Joana Ascenso

摘要:

恒星形成的研究在很大程度上依赖于近红外线的观测,但它们通常需要来自其他波长的信息来解释。我们表明,我们可以推断的距离和年轻的恒星天体的成员资格,独立使用(地面)近红外,$J$,$H,$和$K_S$宽带数据。我们还表明,我们可以估计的下限与$2.2~μ$ m过量发射源的部分与中红外空间数据的灵敏度相媲美,但具有更好的分辨率和更少的偏见。最后,我们表明,从这些数据推断质量的典型方法可能会产生实质上不可靠的结果。这种方法适用于年轻的,大质量的集群RCW 38,我们估计的距离为1.5千秒差距和$K_S$带过剩分数大于60\%。

英文摘要:

Studies of star formation rely heavily on observations in the near-infrared, but they typically need information from other wavelengths for interpretation. We show that we can infer distances and estimate the membership of young stellar objects for young clusters independently using (ground-based) near-infrared, $J$, $H,$ and $K_S$ broadband data alone. We also show that we can estimate a lower limit for the fraction of sources with $2.2~μ$m excess emission with a sensitivity comparable to that of mid-infrared space data, but with better resolution and fewer biases. Finally, we show that the typical methods for inferring masses from these data may produce substantially unreliable results. This method is applied to the young, massive cluster RCW 38, for which we estimate a distance of 1.5 kpc and a $K_S$-band excess fraction larger than 60\%.
