Observations of NGC 1333 : The Ratio of Stars to Sub - stellar Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an analysis of NICMOS photometry and low-resolution grism spectroscopy of low-mass stars and sub-stellar objects in the young star-forming region NGC 1333. Our goal is to constrain the ratio of low-mass stars to substellar objects down to 20 MJup in the cluster as well as constrain the cluster

NGC 1333: A Nearby Burst of Star Formation
NGC 1333 is the currently most active region of star formation in the Perseus molecular cloud. The presence of emission-line stars and Herbig-Haro objects first established NGC 1333 as an active region of star formation. Today, NGC 1333 is one of the best studied extremely young clusters of low to intermediate mass stars. This region is rich in sub-mm cores, embedded YSOs, radio continuum sourc...
متن کاملThe effect of variation of stellar dispersion velocities by the galactic latitude in interpreting gravitational microlensing observations
Our galaxy is a spiral galaxy and its stars are mostly in a thin disk and rotate around the galactic center. The vertical component of the dispersion velocity of stars is a function of the galactic latitude and decreases with increasing it. In the galactic Besancon model, this dependence is ignored and they just consider the dependence of dispersion velocity on the stellar age. Becanson model i...
متن کاملProper Motions of Young Stellar Outflows in the Mid-infrared with Spitzer (irac). I. the Ngc 1333 Region
We use two 4.5μm Spitzer (IRAC) maps of the NGC 1333 region taken over a ∼ 7 yr interval to determine proper motions of its associated outflows. This is a first, successful attempt at obtaining proper motions of stellars outflow from Spitzer observations. For the outflow formed by the HerbigHaro objects HH7, 8 and 10, we find proper motions of ∼ 9-13 km s−1, which are consistent with previously...
متن کاملProper Motions of Thermal Radio Sources near Hh 7-11 in the Ngc 1333 Star Forming Region
Star forming regions are expected to show linear proper motions due to the relative motion of the Sun with respect to the region. These proper motions appear superposed to the proper motions expected in features associated with mass ejection from the young stellar objects embedded in them. Therefore, it is necessary to have a good knowledge of the proper motions of the region as a whole in orde...
متن کاملGould’s Belt to Starburst Galaxies: the Imf of Extreme Star Formation
Recent results indicate the stellar initial mass function is not a strong function of star–forming environment or “initial conditions” (e.g. Meyer et al. 2000). Some studies suggest that a universal IMF may extend to sub–stellar masses (see however Briceno et al. 2002). Yet most of this work is confined to star–forming environments within 1 kpc of the Sun. In order to probe the universality of ...
