Abstract:
On the basis of the best available member list and duplicity
information, we have studied the radial distribution of 270 stars and
multiple systems earlier than K0 in the Pleiades. Five new long period
spectroscopic binaries have been identified from the CORAVEL
observations. We have found a clear mass segregation between binaries
and single stars, which is explained by the greater average mass of
the multiple systems. The mass function of the single stars and
primaries appears to be significantly different. While the central
part of the cluster is spherical, the outer part is clearly
elliptical, with an ellipticity of 0.17. The various parameters
describing the Pleiades are (for a distance of 125pc): core radius
rc=0.6 deg (1.4pc), tidal radius rt=7.4 (16pc), half mass radius
rm/2=0.88 (1.9pc), harmonic radius r=1.82 (4pc). Low-mass stars
(later than K0) probably extend further out and new proper motion and
radial velocity surveys over a larger area and to fainter magnitudes
would be very important to improve the description of the cluster
structure and complete mass function.
