Abstract:
NGC1980 is a young cluster that is located about 0.5° south of the
Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). Recent studies by Bouy et al. and
Pillitteri et al. have suggested that NGC1980 contains an older
population of stars compared to a much younger ONC, and that it
belongs to a foreground population that may be located in front of the
Orion A molecular gas by as much as 40pc. In this work, we present
low-resolution spectra toward 148 young stars found toward the NGC1980
region. We determine the spectral types of these stars, examine
accretion signatures and measure the extinction toward them. We
determine that based on these observations, the age of the population
of NGC1980 is indistinguishable from L1641, estimated to be ∼3Myr,
comparable with the study by Fang et al.
Description:
We conducted observations using the Inamori-Magellan Areal Camera and
Spectrograph (IMACS) on the Magellan Baade telescope. Observations
were done using the f/2 camera with the 300 line grism at a blaze
angle of 17.5° and slit width of 0.6". In this configuration, the
typical resolution is 4Å, and the spectral coverage is
approximately 4000-9000Å.
We observed four fields toward NGC1980 using the multi-slit mode on
2016 January 7. We targeted 280 sources identified by Bouy et al. 2014
(Cat. J/A+A/564/A29) with r<21mag, of which 212 sources had
probabilities of membership (P) greater than 50%. The exposure time
was 5*10 minutes per field for the first three fields, and the last
field had the exposure time of 8*10 minutes. The weather conditions
deteriorated rapidly over the course of the night, therefore, while
the first field had the full sensitivity, the last field, even with
the increased exposure time, yielded little in terms of the number of
sources detected. Partially because of this, we have detected only 148
sources (see Table1).
