Optical Spectroscopic Classification and Membership of Young M Dwarfs in Star-Forming Regions
The spectral type is a key parameter in calibrating the temperature which is required to estimate the mass of young stars and brown dwarfs. We describe an approach developed to classify low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the Trapezium Cluster using red optical spectra, which can be applied to other star-forming regions. The classification uses two methods for greater accuracy: the use of narrow...
متن کاملHigh – resolution imaging of NH 3 inversion lines toward W 3 main
Three-arcsecond angular resolution (0.03 pc at 2.3 kpc) images of the (J,K) = (1,1) and (2,2) NH3 inversion lines toward W3 Main are presented. These observations show NH3 emission from individual clumps and filaments embedded in the lower density ammonia gas, previously observed with a spatial resolution of 40′′. Toward the molecular core W3 East we detect NH3 emission with broad line profiles...

We present a deep JHK s-band imaging survey of the W3 Main star forming region, using the near-infrared camera, SIRIUS (Simultaneous three-color InfraRed Imager for Unbiased Surveys), mounted on the University of Hawaii 2.2 m telescope. The near-infrared survey covers an area of ∼ 24 arcmin 2 with 10 σ – 2 – We construct JHK color-color and J/J-H and K/H-K color-magnitude diagrams to identify y...
متن کاملThe Diverse Stellar Populations of the W3 Star Forming Complex
An ∼800 arcmin mosaic image of the W3 star forming complex obtained with the Chandra X-ray Observatory gives a valuable new view of the spatial structure of its young stellar populations. The Chandra image reveals ∼ 1300 faint X-ray sources, most of which are PMS stars in the cloud. Some, but not all, of the high-mass stars producing hypercompact and ultracompact HII (UCHII) regions are also se...
متن کاملThe brown dwarf population in the Chamaeleon I cloud ⋆
We present the results of a multiband survey for brown dwarfs in the Chamaeleon I dark cloud with the Wide Field Imager (WFI) camera at the ESO/MPG 2.2-m telescope on La Silla (Chile). The survey has revealed a substantial population of brown dwarfs in this southern star forming region. Candidates were selected from R, I and Hα imaging observations. We also observed in two medium-band filters, ...
