- Description:
- We present new deep near-infrared broad- and narrow-band imaging and low-resolution spectroscopy of the star formation region RCW 121 (IRAS17149-3916) which we analyse in combination with Herschel (70, 160, 250, 350 and 500 microns) and Spitzer (3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8 microns) images. The near-infrared photometry reveals the presence of a stellar cluster of approximate size of 92" which is composed of at least 264 members, approximately 25 per cent of these showing excess emission at wavelengths >2.0 microns, indicative of circumstellar discs. Isochrones corresponding to ages 0.5 to 1.0Myr and A_V_=7.8 fit well the position of a large fraction of likely cluster members in the Ks versus H-Ks diagram. We find three massive star-forming cores located in the boundaries of an expanding HII region ionized by a central O-type star. From their far-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) we derive masses and temperatures of the dense cores. When these young stellar objects (YSOs) have warm emission components, the 1.2 to 500 microns SEDs are fitted with Robitaille et al.'s (2006ApJS..167..256R, 2007ApJS..169..328R) star-disc-envelope model to obtain their physical parameters. The masses of the three YSOs are between 8 and 10M_{sun}_. The youngest site (core I) is undetected at wavelengths <100 microns and is at the earliest evolutionary stage that can currently be detected. The other two cores (II and III) contain YSOs of similar masses and have near-infrared counterparts, which imply a more advanced evolutionary stage. The YSO at core II has been found to have associated a jet, with strong molecular hydrogen line emission, coexisting with a water maser source. RCW 121 is another example of multiple star formation being triggered by the expansion of a single HII region.

- Description:
- Photometric observations in the near infrared for 161 S stars, including 18 Tc-rich (intrinsic) stars, 19 Tc-deficient (extrinsic) ones and 124 candidates for Tc-deficient S stars, are presented in this paper. Based on some further investigations into the infrared properties of both Tc-rich and Tc-deficient S stars, 104 candidates are identified as very likely Tc-deficient S stars. The large number of infrared-selected Tc-deficient S stars provides a convenient way to study the physical properties and the evolutionary status of this species of S stars.

- Description:
- We present 105 stellar rotation periods in the young cluster IC 348, 75 of which are new detections, increasing the total number of known periods in this cluster to 143. The period distribution resembles that seen in the heart of the Orion Nebula cluster by Herbst and colleagues. Stars estimated to be less massive than 0.25M_{sun}_ show a unimodal distribution of fast rotators (P~1-2days) and a tail of slower rotators, while stars estimated to be more massive than 0.25M_{sun}_ show a bimodal distribution with peaks at 2 and 8-days. We combine all published rotation periods in IC 348 with Spitzer mid-IR (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0um) photometry, an unprecedentedly efficient and reliable disk indicator, in order to test the disk-braking paradigm.

- IR photometry for members of Upper Sco
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/758/31
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present photometry at 3-24{mu}m for all known members of the Upper Scorpius association ({tau}~11Myr) based on all images of these objects obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. We have used these data to identify the members that exhibit excess emission from circumstellar disks and estimate the evolutionary stages of these disks. Through this analysis, we have found ~50 new candidates for transitional, evolved, and debris disks. The fraction of members harboring inner primordial disks is <~10% for B-G stars (M>1.2M_{sun}_) and increases with later types to a value of ~25% at >~M5 (M<~0.2 M_{sun}_), in agreement with the results of previous disk surveys of smaller samples of Upper Sco members. These data indicate that the lifetimes of disks are longer at lower stellar masses and that a significant fraction of disks of low-mass stars survive for at least ~10Myr. Finally, we demonstrate that the distribution of excess sizes in Upper Sco and the much younger Taurus star-forming region ({tau}~1Myr) is consistent with the same, brief timescale for clearing of inner disks.

- IR photometry in {lambda} Orionis cluster

- Description:
- We present IRAC/MIPS Spitzer Space Telescope observations of the solar-type and the low-mass stellar population of the young (~5Myr) {lambda} Orionis cluster. Combining optical and Two Micron All Sky Survey photometry, we identify 436 stars as probable members of the cluster. Given the distance (450pc) and the age of the cluster, our sample ranges in mass from 2M_{sun}_ to objects below the substellar limit. With the addition of the Spitzer mid-infrared data, we have identified 49 stars bearing disks in the stellar cluster. Using spectral energy distribution slopes, we place objects in several classes: non-excess stars (diskless), stars with optically thick disks, stars with "evolved disks" (with smaller excesses than optically thick disk systems), and "transitional disk" candidates (in which the inner disk is partially or fully cleared). The disk fraction depends on the stellar mass, ranging from ~6% for K-type stars (R_C_-J<2) to ~27% for stars with spectral-type M5 or later (R_C_-J>4). We confirm the dependence of disk fraction on stellar mass in this age range found in other studies. Regarding clustering levels, the overall fraction of disks in the {lambda} Orionis cluster is similar to those reported in other stellar groups with ages normally quoted as ~5Myr.

- Description:
- We present new Spitzer Space Telescope observations of stars in the young (~5Myr) {gamma} Velorum stellar cluster. Combining optical and 2MASS photometry, we have selected 579 stars as candidate members of the cluster. With the addition of the Spitzer mid-infrared data, we have identified five debris disks around A-type stars and five to six debris disks around solar-type stars, indicating that the strong radiation field in the cluster does not completely suppress the production of planetesimals in the disks of cluster members. However, we find some evidence that the frequency of circumstellar primordial disks is lower, and the infrared flux excesses are smaller than for disks around stellar populations with similar ages.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We systematically investigate the near- to far-infrared (FIR) photometric properties of a nearly complete sample of local active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected in the Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) all-sky ultra-hard X-ray (14-195keV) survey. Out of 606 non-blazar AGNs in the Swift/BAT 70 month catalog at high galactic latitudes of |b|>10{deg}, we obtain IR photometric data of 604 objects by cross-matching the AGN positions with catalogs from the WISE, AKARI, IRAS, and Herschel infrared observatories. We find a good correlation between the ultra-hard X-ray and mid-IR luminosities over five orders of magnitude (41<logL_14-195_<46). Informed by previous measurements of the intrinsic spectral energy distribution of AGNs, we find FIR pure-AGN candidates whose FIR emission is thought to be AGN-dominated with low star-formation activity. We demonstrate that the dust covering factor decreases with the bolometric AGN luminosity, confirming the luminosity-dependent unified scheme. We also show that the completeness of the WISE color-color cut in selecting Swift/BAT AGNs increases strongly with 14-195keV luminosity.
