本地系统中的拉德克利夫波并非孤例
The Radcliffe Wave is not alone in the Local System
AI总结:
研究发现本地系统中存在与拉德克利夫波类似的年轻疏散星团链,该链属于韦拉岭超云,垂直扰动特征与拉德克利夫波有差异,为本地系统结构研究提供了新证据。
AI中文摘要:
本研究对本地系统中年龄小于3000万年的疏散星团(OSCs)的空间分布进行了研究,首次发现大量疏散星团属于近期发现的韦拉岭(Vela Ridge)气体尘埃超云。该样本疏散星团最引人注目的特征是其垂直坐标存在周期性扰动,最大振幅为47秒差距(pc),波长为1.1千秒差距(kpc)。因此,所发现的年轻疏散星团链与拉德克利夫波类似,但垂直扰动振幅更低、波长更短,且平均年龄大200万年。
英文摘要:
The spatial distribution of open star clusters (OSCs) younger than 30 million years old in the Local System was studied. It was shown for the first time that a significant number of OSCs belong to the recently discovered Vela Ridge gas and dust supercloud. The most intriguing property of this sample of OSCs is the presence of periodic perturbations in their vertical coordinates with a maximum amplitude of 47 pc and a wavelength of 1.1 kpc. Thus, the discovered chain of young OSCs is analogous to the Radcliffe Wave, but with a lower amplitude of vertical perturbations, a shorter wavelength, and is, on average, 2 million years older.
