The Young Cluster NGC 6604 and the Serpens OB2 Association
نویسنده
چکیده
NGC 6604 is a young cluster in Serpens with an age of 4-5 Myr and at a distance of about 1.7 kpc. It forms the densest part of the wider Ser OB2 association, which contains about 100 OB stars. NGC 6604 lies about 65 pc above the Galactic plane, and has attracted special interest since it has produced a thermal chimney stretching 200 pc out of the plane. The combined effect of winds and radiation from the many OB stars has produced a rim of dense molecular material in which second-generation star formation is currently taking place.

Spectroscopy and BV I C photometry of the young open cluster NGC 6604 ⋆
BV I C photometry and classification spec-troscopy is presented for the young open cluster NGC 6604. Additional Echelle spectroscopy of the brightest members is used to check the reddening against the interstellar NaI and KI absorption lines, to measure the cluster radial velocity and to derive the individual rota-tional velocities. We obtain 1.7 kpc as the cluster distance, an age of ∼ 5 × 10 ...
متن کاملCygnus OB2 – a young globular cluster in the Milky Way
The morphology and stellar content of the Cygnus OB2 association has been determined using 2MASS infrared observations in the J , H , and K bands. The analysis reveals a spherically symmetric association of ∼ 2◦ in diameter with a half light radius of 13′, corresponding to Rh = 6.4 pc at an assumed distance of 1.7 kpc. The interstellar extinction for member stars ranges from AV ≈ 5m to 20m, whi...
متن کاملAn XMM - Newton observation of the multiple system HD 167971 ( O 5 - 8 V + O 5 - 8 V + ( O 8 I ) ) and the young open cluster NGC 6604 ⋆
We discuss the results of two XMM-Newton observations of the open cluster NGC 6604 obtained in April and September 2002. We concentrate mainly on the multiple system HD 167971 (O5-8V + O5-8V + (O8I)). The soft part of the EPIC spectrum of this system is thermal with typical temperatures of about 2 × 10 6 to 9 × 10 6 K. The nature (thermal vs non-thermal) of the hard part of the spectrum is not ...
متن کاملAn Optical Spectroscopic Survey of the Serpens Main Cluster: Evidence for Two Populations?
We have completed an optical spectroscopic survey of a sample of candidate young stars in the Serpens Main starforming region selected from deep B, V, and R band images. While infrared, X-ray, and optical surveys of the cloud have identified many young stellar objects (YSOs), these surveys have been biased toward particular stages of premain sequence evolution. We have obtained over 700 moderat...
متن کاملConstraints on Massive Star Formation : Cygnus OB 2 was always an Association
We examine substructure and mass segregation in the massive OB association Cygnus OB2 to better understand its initial conditions. Using a well understood Chandra X-ray selected sample of young stars we find that Cyg OB2 exhibits considerable physical substructure and has no evidence for mass segregation, both indications that the association is not dynamically evolved. Combined with previous k...
