Abstract:
H-R diagrams are presented for the very young galactic clusters
Trumpler 14 and Trumpler 16, which are the two most populous clusters
in the region of vigorous star formation surrounding η Carinae.
Point spread function photometry of UBV CCD images is presented down
to V∼19 for over 560 stars in Tr 16 and 290 stars in Tr 14. We have
also obtained similar data for a local background field. After
determining cluster membership through proper motions from a previous
work, we find that the reddening of cluster members is significantly
lower than that of the local background stars. Thus, we are able to
use individual reddenings to identify likely members at far deeper
levels than possible with proper motions. This work has revealed a
significant population of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars in both
clusters. The location of the PMS stars in the H-R diagram indicates
that the theoretical "stellar birthline" of Palla & Stahler
(1990ApJ...360L..47P 1990ApJ...360L..47P, follows the locus of stars far better than that
of Beech & Mitalas (1994ApJS...95..517B 1994ApJS...95..517B). Comparison with both pre-
and post-main-sequence isochrones also reveals that although
intermediate-mass stars have been forming continuously over the last
10Myr, the high-mass stars formed within the last 3Myr. There is no
evidence that the formation of the intermediate-mass stars was
truncated by the formation of the high-mass stars.

Note (1): The full designation of a star in these tables, as recommended
by the IAU, is Tr 14:DETWC JHHMMSS.s±DDMMSS for Tr 14 and Tr
16:DETWC JHHMMSS.s±DDMMSS for Tr 16 where the coordinates have
been truncated, not rounded. The acronym ``DETWC'' indicates the
authors, and the prefix ``J'' indicates that the coordinates are for J2000.
