- Description:
- We report the results of a search for binarity among young stars, performed in the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association on a sample of 118 X-ray selected T Tauri stars. We use speckle interferometry and direct-imaging observations to find companions in the separation range 0.13-6". After corrections to account for confusion with background stars and for the bias induced by the X-ray selection, we find a multiplicity (number of binaries or multiples divided by number of systems) of 32.6+/-6.1)%, and a number of companions per system of (35.2+/-6.3)%. This is higher by a factor of 1.59+/-0.34 compared to main-sequence stars, but slightly lower than in a sample in the Taurus-Auriga star-forming region that was selected and studied similary. In Scorpius-Centaurus, we find fewer binaries with nearly equal brightness than in Taurus-Auriga. There are significant differences between the period distributions in the two subgroups Upper Scorpius A and B: The peak of the distribution of stars in US-A is at about 10^5^ days, while that of stars in US-B is around 10^6.5^ days. We compared our results with the optical multiplicity survey of Brandner et al. (1996A&A...307..121B), whose sample contains 49 stars that were also observed by us, and find no infrared companions. The flux ratio distributions of close and wide binaries in our sample show no significant difference.

- Description:
- Depending on whether a T Tauri star accretes material from its circumstellar disk or not, different X-ray emission properties can be found. The accretion shocks produce cool heating of the plasma, contributing to the soft X-ray emission from the star. Using X-ray data from the Chandra Orion Ultra-deep Project and accretion rates that were obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 photometric measurements in the Orion Nebula Cluster, we studied the relation between the accretion processes and the X-ray emissions of a coherent sample of T Tauri sources in the region. We performed regression and correlation analyses of our sample of T Tauri stars between the X-ray parameters, stellar properties, and the accretion measurements. We find that a clear anti-correlation is present between the residual X-ray luminosity and the accretion rates in our samples in Orion that is consistent with that found on the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus molecular cloud (XEST) study. A considerable number of classified non-accreting sources show accretion rates comparable to those of classical T Tauri Stars (CTTS). Our data do not allow us to confirm the classification between classical and weak-line T Tauri stars (WTTS), and the number of WTTS in this work is small compared to the complete samples. Thus, we have used the entire samples as accretors in our analysis. We provide a catalog with X-ray luminosities (corrected from distance) and accretion measurements of an Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) T Tauri stars sample.

- Description:
- We present results of a study to investigate the spatial distribution of X-ray active young stellar objects near the Lupus star forming region (SFR). In this SFR, a recent study has led to the discovery of some 130 new weak-line T Tauri stars (WTTS) dispersed over a large area of some 230 square degrees. However, the true extent of the spatial distribution of these stars could not be determined in this study.

- Description:
- We search for new T Tauri star (TTS) candidates with the mid-infrared (MIR) part of the AKARI All-Sky Survey at 9 and 18{mu}m wavelengths. We used the point source catalogue (PSC) obtained by the Infrared Camera (IRC) on board AKARI. We combined the 2MASS PSC and the 3rd version of the USNO CCD Astrograph Catalogue (UCAC) with the AKARI IRC-PSC, and surveyed 517 known TTSs over a 1800-square-degree part of the Taurus-Auriga region to develop criteria to extract TTSs. We considered asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, post-AGB stars, planetary nebulae (PNe), and galaxies, which have similar MIR colours, to separate TTSs from these sources. We finally searched for new TTS candidates from AKARI IRC-PSC in the same Taurus-Auriga region. Of the 517 known TTSs, we detected 133 sources with AKARI: 46 sources were not detected by IRAS. Based on the colour-colour and colour-magnitude diagrams made from the AKARI, 2MASS, and UCAC surveys, we propose the criteria to extract TTS candidates from the AKARI All-Sky data, and 68/133 AKARI detected TTSs have passed these criteria. On the basis of our criteria, we selected 176/14725 AKARI sources as TTS candidates that are located around the Taurus-Auriga region. Comparing these sources with SIMBAD, we found that 148 are previously identified sources including 115 young stellar objects (YSOs), and 28 unidentified sources. Based on SIMBAD identifications, we infer the TTS-identification probability using our criteria to be ~75%. We find 28 TTS candidates, of which we expect ~21 to be confirmed once follow-up observations can be obtained. Although the probability of ~75% is not so high, it is affected by the completeness of the SIMBAD database, and we can search for TTSs over the whole sky, and all star-forming regions.

- Description:
- We aim to obtain a spatially resolved measurement of velocity dispersions in the disk of TW Hya. We obtained images with high spatial and spectral resolution of the CO J=2-1, CN N=2-1 and CS J=5-4 emission with ALMA in Cycle 2. The radial distribution of the turbulent broadening was derived with two direct methods and one modelling approach. The first method requires a single transition and derives T_ex_ directly from the line profile, yielding a v_turb_. The second method assumes that two different molecules are co-spatial, which allows using their relative line widths for calculating T_kin_ and v_turb_. Finally we fitted a parametric disk model in which the physical properties of the disk are described by power laws, to compare our direct methods with previous values.

- Description:
- Measurements of the protoplanetary disk frequency in young star clusters of different ages indicate disk lifetimes <10Myr. However, our current knowledge of how mass accretion in young stars evolves over the lifespans of disks is subject to many uncertainties, especially at the lower stellar masses. In this study, we investigate ongoing accretion activity in the TW Hydrae association (TWA), the closest association of pre-main sequence stars with active disks. The age (8-10Myr) and the proximity of the TWA render it an ideal target to probe the final stages of disk accretion down to brown dwarf masses. The study is based on homogeneous spectroscopic data from 300nm to 2500nm, obtained synoptically with X-shooter, which allows simultaneous derivation of individual extinction, stellar parameters, and accretion parameters for each star. The continuum excess emission diagnostics is used to estimate the accretion luminosities and mass accretion rates of our disk-bearing targets, and the shape and intensity of permitted and forbidden emission lines are analyzed to probe the physics of the star-disk interaction environment.

- Description:
- In this work we report the discovery of two new stellar associations in close vicinity of the Sun at roughly 180 and 150pc. These two associations, u-Tau assoc and e-Tau assoc, were detected based on their clustering in a multi-dimensional parameter space including {alpha}, {delta}, {mu}_{alpha}_, {mu}_{delta}_, and \bar{omega} of Gaia. The fitting of pre-main-sequence model isochrones in their color-magnitude diagrams suggests that the two associations are of about 50Myr old and the group members lower than ~0.8M_{sun}_ are at the stage of post-T Tauri.

- Tycho-2 stars with IR excess

- Description:
- Stars of all evolutionary phases have been found to have excess infrared emission due to the presence of circumstellar material. To identify such stars, we have positionally correlated the infrared Mid-Course Space Experiment (MSX) Point Source Catalogue (<V/114>) and the Tycho-2 optical catalogue (<I/259>). Near-mid-infrared colour criteria have been developed to select infrared excess stars. The search yielded 1938 excess stars; over half (979) have never previously been detected by IRAS. The excess stars were found to be young objects such as Herbig Ae/Be and Be stars, and evolved objects such as OH/IR (infrared) and carbon stars. A number of B-type excess stars were also discovered whose infrared colours could not be readily explained by known catalogued objects.

- UBVI and H{alpha} CCD photometry of NGC 6231
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Description:
- We have performed new wide-field photometry of the young open cluster NGC6231 to study the shape of the initial mass function (IMF) and mass segregation. We also investigated the reddening law toward NGC6231 from optical to mid-infrared color excess ratios, and found that the total-to-selective extinction ratio is R_V_=3.2, which is very close to the normal value. But many early-type stars in the cluster center show large color excess ratios. We derived the surface density profiles of four member groups, and found that they reach the surface density of field stars at about 10', regardless of stellar mass. The IMF of NGC6231 is derived for the mass range 0.8-45M_{sun}_. The slope of the IMF of NGC6231 ({Gamma}=-1.1+/-0.1) is slightly shallower than the canonical value, but the difference is marginal. In addition, the mass function varies systematically, and is a strong function of radius-it is very shallow at the center, and very steep at the outer ring suggesting the cluster is mass segregated. We confirm the mass segregation for the massive stars (m>~8 M_{sun}_) by a minimum spanning tree analysis. Using a Monte Carlo method, we estimate the total mass of NGC6231 to be about 2.6(+/-0.6)*10^3^M_{sun}_. We constrain the age of NGC 6231 by comparison with evolutionary isochrones. The age of the low-mass stars ranges from 1 to 7Myr with a slight peak at 3Myr. However, the age of the high-mass stars depends on the adopted models and is 3.5+/-0.5Myr from the non-rotating or moderately rotating models of Brott et al. (2011, cat. J/A+A/530/A115) as well as the non-rotating models of Ekstrom et al. (2012, cat. J/A+A/537/A146). But the age is 4.0-7.0Myr if the rotating models of Ekstrom et al. (2012, cat. J/A+A/537/A146) are adopted. This latter age is in excellent agreement with the timescale of ejection of the high-mass runaway star HD153919 from NGC6231, albeit the younger age cannot be entirely excluded.
