摘要: Our star-count analysis of the Two Micron All Sky Survey point sources resulted in an identification of the star cluster G144.9+0.4. The cluster was found, but not characterized, by Glushkova et al. We show that the cluster is physically associated with the Cam OB1 association at a distance of about 1 kpc and with an age of 1-2 Myr. Pre-main sequence stars are identified on the basis of photometric and proper motion data. A total of 91 additional OB star candidates was found in subgroups 1A and 1B, a significant increase from the currently known 43 OB stars. The OB members show an age spread that indicates a sustained star formation for at least the last 10-15 Myr. The young cluster G144.9+0.4 represents the latest episode of sequential star formation in this cloud complex. 出版者: United States 出版日期: 2013-10-01 出處: The Astrophysical journal, 2013-10, Vol.775 (2), p.123-9 資源來源: Institute of Physics Journals 識別號: ISSN: 0004-637X 識別號: ISSN: 1538-4357 識別號: EISSN: 1538-4357 識別號: DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/775/2/123
