- Description:
- In this paper, we present time series photometry of 104 variable stars in the cluster region NGC 1893. The association of the present variable candidates to the cluster NGC 1893 has been determined by using (U-B)/(B-V) and (J-H)/(H-K) two colour diagrams, and V/(V-I) colour-magnitude diagram. 45 stars are found to be main-sequence variables and these could be B-type variable stars associated with the cluster. We classified these objects as {beta} Cep, slowly pulsating B stars and new class variables as discussed by Mowlavi et al. (2013, Cat. J/A+A/554/A108). These variable candidates show ~0.005 to ~0.02mag brightness variations with periods of <1.0d. 17 new class variables are located in the H-R diagram between the slowly pulsating B stars and {delta} Scuti variables. Pulsation could be one of the causes for periodic brightness variations in these stars. The X-ray emission of present main-sequence variables associated with the cluster lies in the saturated region of X-ray luminosity versus period diagram and follows the general trend by Pizzolato et al. (2003, Cat. J/A+A/397/147).

- IR variability among YSOs in the Serpens South cluster

- Description:
- We present a time-variability study of young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Serpens South cluster performed at 3.6 and 4.5 {mu}m with the Spitzer Space Telescope; this study is part of the Young Stellar Object VARiability project. We have collected light curves for more than 1500 sources, including 85 cluster members, over 38 days. This includes 44 class I sources, 19 sources with flat spectral energy distributions (SEDs), 17 class II sources, and five diskless YSO candidates. We find a high variability fraction among embedded cluster members of ~70%, whereas young stars without a detectable disk display no variability. We detect periodic variability for 32 sources with periods primarily in the range of 0.2-14 days and a subset of fast rotators thought to be field binaries. The timescale for brightness changes are shortest for stars with the most photospheric SEDs and longest for those with flat or rising SEDs. While most variable YSOs become redder when fainter, as would be expected from variable extinction, about 10% get bluer as they get fainter. One source, SSTYSV J183006.13-020108.0, exhibits "cyclical" color changes.

- Description:
- NGC 6611 is the massive young cluster (2-3Myr) that ionizes the Eagle Nebula. We present very deep photometric observations of the central region of NGC 6611 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope and the following filters: ACS/WFC F775W and F850LP and NIC2 F110W and F160W, loosely equivalent to ground-based IZJH filters. This survey reaches down to I~26mag. We construct the initial mass function (IMF) from ~1.5M_{sun}_ well into the brown dwarf regime (down to ~0.02M_{sun}_). We have detected 30-35 brown dwarf candidates in this sample. The low-mass IMF is combined with a higher-mass IMF constructed from the ground-based catalogue from Oliveira et al. We compare the final IMF with those of well-studied star-forming regions: we find that the IMF of NGC 6611 more closely resembles that of the low-mass star-forming region in Taurus than that of the more massive Orion Nebula Cluster. We conclude that there seems to be no severe environmental effect in the IMF due to the proximity of the massive stars in NGC 6611.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present a study of the young (30-100Myr) open cluster IC4665 with the aim to determine the shape of the mass function well into the brown dwarf regime. We photometrically select 691 low-mass and 94 brown dwarf candidate members over an area of 3.82 square degrees centred on the cluster. K-band follow-up photometry and Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (<II/246>) data allow a first filtering of contaminant objects from our catalogues. A second filtering is performed for the brightest stars using proper motion data provided by the Tycho-2 (<I/259>) and UCAC2 (<I/289>) public catalogues. Contamination by the field population for the lowest mass objects is estimated using same latitude control fields. We fit observed surface densities of various cluster populations with King profiles and find a consistent tidal radius of 1.0 degree. The presence of possible mass segregation is discussed. In most respects investigated, IC4665 is similar to other young open clusters of similar age: (1) an estimate of the mass function in the low-mass regime and crossing the hydrogen burning limit results in a power law description with slope -0.6, (2) a fraction of BD to total members between 10-19%, (3) a cusp in the mass function is seen at about the substellar boundary, (4) the best-fit lognormal function to the full mass distribution shows an average member mass of 0.32M_{sun}_ if IC4665 has an age of 50Myr.

- Description:
- We present the first deep, optical, wide-field imaging survey of the young open cluster Collinder 359, complemented by near-infrared follow-up observations. This study is part of a large programme aimed at examining the dependence of the mass function on environment and time. We have surveyed 1.6 square degrees in the cluster, in the I and z filters, with the CFH12K camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii 3.6-m telescope down to completeness and detection limits in both filters of 22.0 and 24.0mag, respectively. Based on their location in the optical (I-z,I) colour-magnitude diagram, we have extracted new cluster member candidates in Collinder 359 spanning 1.3-0.03M_{sun}_, assuming an age of 60Myr and a distance of 450pc for the cluster. We have used the 2MASS database as well as our own near-infrared photometry to examine the membership status of the optically-selected cluster candidates. Comparison of the location of the most massive members in Collinder 359 in a (B-V,V) diagram with theoretical isochrones suggests that Collinder 359 is older than Alpha Per but younger than the Pleiades. We discuss the possible relationship between Collinder 359 and IC 4665 as both clusters harbour similar parameters, including proper motion, distance, and age.

- IZ photometry of Pleiades brown dwarfs

- Description:
- We present the results of a 6.4 square degrees imaging survey of the Pleiades cluster in the I and Z-bands. The survey extends up to 3{deg} from the cluster center and is 90% complete down to I~=22. It covers a mass range from 0.03M_{sun}_ to 0.48M_{sun}_ and yields 40 brown dwarf candidates (BDCs) of which 29 are new. The spatial distribution of BDCs is fitted by a King profile in order to estimate the cluster substellar core radius. The Pleiades mass function is then derived across the stellar-substellar boundary and we find that, between 0.03M_{sun}_ and 0.48M_{sun}_, it is well represented by a single power-law, dN/dM{prop.to}M^-{alpha}^, with an index alpha=0.60+/-0.11. Over a larger mass domain, however, from 0.03M_{sun}_ to 10M_{sun}_, the mass function is better fitted by a log-normal function. We estimate that brown dwarfs represent about 25% of the cluster population which nevertheless makes up less than 1.5% of the cluster mass. The early dynamical evolution of the cluster appears to have had little effect on its present mass distribution at an age of 120Myr. Comparison between the Pleiades mass function and the Galactic field mass function suggests that apparent differences may be mostly due to unresolved binary systems.

- Description:
- The so-called lithium depletion boundary (LDB) provides a secure and independent tool for deriving the ages of young open clusters. In this context, our goal is to determine membership for a sample of 147 photometrically selected candidates of the young open cluster IC 4665 and to use confirmed members to establish an age based on the LDB. Employing the FLAMES multi-object spectrograph on VLT/UT2, we have obtained intermediate-resolution spectra of the cluster candidates. The spectra were used to measure radial velocities and to infer the presence of the LiI 670.8nm doublet and H{alpha} emission.

- Description:
- We combine our previous optical spectroscopic and photometric analysis of 1600 stars located in the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) with our own and published near-infrared photometric surveys of the region in order to investigate the evidence for and properties of circumstellar disks. We use the near-infrared continuum excess as our primary disk diagnostic, although we also study sources with Ca II triplet emission and those designated as "proplyds."
