Abstract:
We report an optical photometric survey of 0.89deg2 of the Orion
OB1b association centered on sigma Ori. This region includes most of
the sigma Ori cluster, the highest-density region within Orion OB1b.
We have developed a statistical procedure to identify the young,
low-mass, pre-main-sequence population of the association. We estimate
that the cluster has 160 members in the mass range
(0.2M☉≤M≤1.0M☉). The cluster has a radius of 35pc and an
estimated age of 2.5±0.3Myr. We estimate that the total mass of the
cluster is 225±30M☉. This mass is similar to the estimated
mass of the ∼5x105yr old cluster NGC 2024. NGC 2024 and sigma Ori
appear to be a well-matched pair of clusters, except for the ∼2Myr
difference in their ages.
Description:
In this paper we analyze data from observations made with the 0.9 and
1.5m telescopes at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO)
between 1996 and 2002 as part of a B, V, RC, and IC survey of the
belt of Orion (Orion OB1b)

Note (1): Colors and bolometric correction for stars earlier than M7
were taken from Kenyon & Hartmann (1995, Cat. J/ApJS/101/117>).
For stars later than M7 we used U-V, B-V, and V-Rc from Berriman et
al. (1992ApJ...392L..31B 1992ApJ...392L..31B) and V-Ic, V-J, V-H, V-K, V-L and bolometric
