AI总结:

本文提出联合拟合双星系统径向速度和光谱能量分布的新方法测定 NGC 188 年龄为 6.41±0.33 Gyr,并利用 Gaia 数据筛选成员星,交叉验证了星团距离。

摘要:

我们给出了最古老的疏散星团之一 NGC 188 年龄的新的独立测定结果:$6.41 \pm 0.33$ Gyr。我们采用了一种新方法,联合拟合该星团中六个双星系统的径向速度(RV)和光谱能量分布(SED)。该联合拟合包含 21 个自由参数:12 个恒星质量、6 个轨道倾角,以及一个共同的星团年龄、距离和消光 $A_V$。对 SED 的拟合利用了 MIST 恒星等龄线,拟合的恒星参数展示在 HR 图(R - $T_{\rm eff}$、R - M 和 M - $T_{\rm eff}$)中,显示了恒星的不同演化状态。我们将这些等龄线与 PARSEC 和 Y2 等龄线进行了比较,以估计不同恒星模型引入的不确定性。在从 NGC 188 视场中选取的 3017 颗恒星中,利用 Gaia 数据筛选出 333 颗可能的成员星,并分别分析了它们的平均距离和自行。我们得出 NGC 188 的距离为 $1850 \pm 12$ pc,而通过 SED 拟合得到的独立测光距离为 $1897 \pm 58$ pc。

英文摘要:

We present a new independent determination for the age of one of the oldest open clusters, NGC 188: $6.41 \pm 0.33$ Gyr. We utilize a novel approach where we jointly fit the radial velocities (RVs) and spectral energy distributions (SED) of six binary star systems in the cluster. The joint fit has 21 free parameters: 12 stellar masses, 6 orbital inclination angles, as well as a common cluster age, distance, and extinction, $A_V$. The fit to the SEDs utilizes MIST stellar isochrones, and the fitted stellar parameters are presented in HR diagrams (R - $T_{\rm eff}$, R - M, and M - $T_{\rm eff}$) showing the stars' different states of evolution. These isochrones are compared with PARSEC and Y2 isochrones to obtain an estimate of the uncertainties introduced by different stellar models. Of the 3017 stars taken from the NGC 188 field, 333 possible member stars were selected using Gaia data and analyzed separately for their mean distances and proper motions. We find a distance to NGC 188 of $1850 \pm 12$ pc compared with the independent photometric distance found from the SED fitting of $1897 \pm 58$ pc.
