Substructure, supernovae, and a time-resolved star formation history for Upper Scorpius

چکیده

The improved astrometry precision of Gaia-eDR3 allows us to perform a detailed study the Upper Scorpius OB association and revisit its spatial, kinematic, age substructure. We achieve this by combining clustering techniques complementing with estimations based on Gaia photometry. Our census retrieves 3661 candidate members for contamination $\sim$9\%. also extract an astrometrically clean sample 3004 sources $\sim$6\%. show that can be divided into at least 3 main kinematic groups. systematically investigate characterize Scorpius' internal structure, revealing $\sim 34\%$ stellar populations are contained in 7 spatial substructures, well defined boundaries, kinematics relative ages, suggested names: $\pi$ Scorpii (20 $^{\pm2}_{\pm1}$ Myr), $\alpha$ (14$^{\pm2}_{\pm1}$ $\delta$ (9$^{\pm2}_{\pm1}$ $\beta$ (8$^{\pm1}_{\pm1}$ $\omega$ $\nu$ (7$^{\pm1}_{\pm1}$ after their brightest member, known $\rho$ Ophiuchi (4$^{\pm1}_{\pm1}$ Myr). find clear correlation (1) density-age, providing empirical expansion law tested other associations, (2) tangential velocity-age, constrains dynamics these substructures position potential past triggering events. estimate time which 4 supernovae events occurred Scorpius.

IAC-pop: finding the Star Formation History of resolved galaxies

IAC-pop is a code designed to solve the star formation history (SFH) of a complex stellar population system, like a galaxy, from the analysis of the colormagnitude diagram (CMD). It uses a genetic algorithm to minimize a χ merit function comparing the star distributions in the observed CMD and the CMD of a synthetic stellar population. A parametrization of the CMDs is used, which is the main in...

Cosmic Star-Formation History

I review some recent progress made in our understanding of galaxy evolution and the cosmic history of star formation. Like bookends, the results obtained from deep ground-based spectroscopy and from the Hubble Deep Field imaging survey put brackets around the intermediate redshift interval, 1 < z < 2, where starbirth probably peaked at a rate 10 times higher than today. The steady decline obser...

The rate of type Ia Supernovae and the Star Formation History

The scaling of the rate of type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) with the parent galaxies’ color provides information on the distribution of the delay times (DTD) of the SNIa progenitors. We show that this information appears to depend on the photometric bands used to trace the stellar age distribution and mass-to-light ratio in the parent galaxies. Using both U −V and B−K colors to constrain the star form...

The Redshift Distribution of Type-Ia Supernovae: Constraints on Progenitors and Cosmic Star Formation History

We use the redshift distribution of type-Ia supernovae (SNe) discovered by the Supernova Cosmology Project to constrain the star formation history (SFH) of the Universe and SN Ia progenitor models. Given some of the recent determinations of the SFH, the observed SN Ia redshift distribution indicates a long (>∼ 1h −1 Gyr) mean delay time between the formation of a stellar population and the expl...
