对NGC 3293、NGC 4755和NGC 6611三个星系团的vlt - flame光谱进行了分析。非lte模式大气计算已被用于估计有效温度(从氦光谱或硅电离平衡)和重力(从氢光谱)。从氦谱(用于快速和中等旋转体)或金属谱(用于慢旋转体)推导出投影旋转速度。讨论了明显靠近主序天体的低重力估计的起源,并与恒星的旋转速度有关。大气参数被用来估计星团的距离(通常与以前的测定结果很一致),这些参数被用来估计恒星的光度和演化质量。将观测到的赫茨普龙-罗素图与理论预测进行了比较,并讨论了一些差异,包括主序光度的差异。已经推断出了星团的年龄,并在这三个星团中发现了非同时期恒星形成的证据。在较老的星团NGC 3293和NGC 4755中,目标的预计转速被发现比该领域的目标要大,这证实了最近在其他类似年龄星团中的结果。投影转速的分布符合固有转速的高斯分布。对于较老的星团中相对未进化的目标,NGC 3293和NGC 4755,速度分布的峰值为250 km s-1,全宽半最大值约为180 km s-1。对于NGC 6611来说,样本量相对较小,但意味着较低的平均旋转速度。尽管我们的结果与非常年轻的大质量恒星的结果一致,但这可能是由于恒星风造成角动量损失而导致的自旋下降效应的证据。对于这三个星团,我们推断出目前的质量函数withΓ-values在-1.5到-1.8的范围内,这与银河系中其他年轻的星团相似。
An analysis is presented of VLT-FLAMES spectroscopy for three Galactic clusters, NGC 3293, NGC 4755 and NGC 6611. Non-LTE model atmosphere calculations have been used to estimate effective temperatures (from either the helium spectrum or the silicon ionization equilibrium) and gravities (from the hydrogen spectrum). Projected rotational velocities have been deduced from the helium spectrum (for fast and moderate rotators) or the metal line spectrum (for slow rotators). The origin of the low gravity estimates for apparently near main sequence objects is discussed and is related to the stellar rotational velocity. The atmospheric parameters have been used to estimate cluster distances (which are generally in good agreement with previous determinations) and these have been used to estimate stellar luminosities and evolutionary masses. The observed Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams are compared with theoretical predictions and some discrepancies including differences in the main sequence luminosities are discussed. Cluster ages have been deduced and evidence for non-coeval star formation is found for all three of the clusters. Projected rotational velocities for targets in the older clusters, NGC 3293 and NGC 4755, have been found to be systematically larger than those for the field, confirming recent results in other similar age clusters. The distribution of projected rotational velocities are consistent with a Gaussian distribution of intrinsic rotational velocities. For the relatively unevolved targets in the older clusters, NGC 3293 and NGC 4755, the peak of the velocity distribution would be 250 km s-1with a full-width-half-maximum of approximately 180 km s-1. For NGC 6611, the sample size is relatively small but implies a lower mean rotational velocity. This may be evidence for the spin-down effect due to angular momentum loss through stellar winds, although our results are consistent with those found for very young high mass stars. For all three clusters we deduce present day mass functions withΓ-values in the range of -1.5 to -1.8, which are similar to other young stellar clusters in the Milky Way.
