The All-Orion Spectroscopic Survey and other Hecto Surveys of Pre-main Sequence Populations James Muzerolle

The All-Orion Spectroscopic Survey and other Hecto Surveys of Pre-main Sequence Populations James Muzerolle (for Lori Allen) with Tom Megeath, Elaine Winston, Luis Chavarria, Xavier Koenig, Gabor Furesz (Cf. A) Kevin Flaherty (Uof. A) Cesar Briceno, Jesus Hernandez (CIDA, Venezuela)

MIPS 24 Overview Hecto ideal for characterizing large PMS populations Hectospec: – large FOV

MIPS 24 Overview Hecto ideal for characterizing large PMS populations Hectospec: – large FOV allows efficient coverage of extended populations – wavelength coverage, resolution provides excellent spectral typing – youth diagnostics such as Li, Halpha Hectochelle: – kinematics via radial velocities – stellar rotation velocities – accretion properties via Halpha profiles provides powerful complement with Spitzer surveys

NGC 2068/2071 Active star formation in 3 subclusters Spitzer results: • Class I protostars

NGC 2068/2071 Active star formation in 3 subclusters Spitzer results: • Class I protostars tightly confined in linear structures near dense gas • class II objects w/ disks more spread out • a few % of disks appear to be in transition, with optically thin inner regions What are the characteristics of the stellar population? • ages • masses • dynamics • accretion properties Muzerolle et al. in preparation

Serpens Class Distribution IRAC three colour mosaic of central core of cluster, blue: 3. 6 um, green: 4. 5 um, red: 8. 0 um. (J 2000. ) Showing distribution of sources with X-ray detections by class. Class I: white circles Flat Sp: blue invert. triangles Class II: green triangles Class III: red squares Class not segregated – why? Do the classes represent an evolution of the disk with age? If so, why are they mixed? Is disk structure dependant on cluster environment, are they coeval? Why the mix of CI, FS, CII in the ‘V’ formation? Clustering of CIII’s? Why not dispersed? Young?
