AI总结:

针对Blanco 1疏散星团潮汐尾的真实性问题,研究利用TESS光变曲线获取恒星自转周期,结合gyrochronological序列验证成员身份,确认了潮汐尾存在并翻倍具备双重验证的成员数量,为相关研究提供新策略。

摘要:

Blanco 1是一个年龄约130 Myr、距离太阳240 pc且位于银道面下方的疏散星团。近期研究基于Gaia测量的位置和速度,报告了从星团中心延伸50-60 pc的弥散潮汐尾的存在。为独立评估该结构的真实性和范围,我们使用TESS全帧图像生成的光变曲线,搜索Blanco 1内部及周围恒星的测光自转周期。在603个有光变曲线的星团成员候选体中,我们检测到347个恒星的自转周期,最低对应恒星有效温度约为3100 K。对于核心区的星团成员和潮汐尾中的候选成员(均处于4400至6200 K的温度范围内),其自转周期分别有74%和72%与单星 gyrochronological 序列一致。相比之下,场星对比样本中仅8.5%的恒星自转周期符合 gyrochronological 序列。潮汐尾候选体整体符合核心成员的 gyrochronological 序列,这表明其污染率在2σ水平下与零一致且<0.33。该结果确认了Blanco 1潮汐尾的存在,并使同时具备空间运动学和基于自转的星团成员身份验证的Blanco 1成员数量翻倍。将利用TESS光变曲线进行 gyrochronology 的策略扩展到其他邻近的年轻疏散星团和恒星关联体,可能为绘制它们的消散过程和扩大年轻系外行星的搜索范围提供可行策略。

英文摘要:

Blanco 1 is an $\approx 130\,\mathrm{Myr}$ open cluster located 240 pc from the Sun below the Galactic plane. Recent studies have reported the existence of diffuse tidal tails extending 50-60 pc from the cluster center based on the positions and velocities measured by Gaia. To independently assess the reality and extent of this structure, we used light curves generated from TESS full-frame images to search for photometric rotation periods of stars in and around Blanco 1. We detected rotation periods down to a stellar effective temperature of $\approx 3100\,\mathrm{K}$ in 347 of the 603 cluster member candidates for which we have light curves. For cluster members in the core and candidate members in the tidal tails, both within a temperature range of 4400 to 6200 K, 74% and 72% of the rotation periods are consistent with the single-star gyrochronological sequence, respectively. In contrast, a comparison sample of field stars yielded gyrochrone-consistent rotation periods for only 8.5% of stars. The tidal tail candidates' overall conformance to the core members' gyrochrone sequence implies that their contamination ratio is consistent with zero and < 0.33 at the $2σ$ level. This result confirms the existence of Blanco 1 tidal tails and doubles the number of Blanco 1 members for which there are both spatio-kinematic and rotation-based cluster membership verification. Extending the strategy of using TESS light curves for gyrochronology to other nearby young open clusters and stellar associations may provide a viable strategy for mapping out their dissolution and broadening the search for young exoplanets.
