Abstract:
We present a catalog of high-precision proper motions in the Orion
Nebula Cluster (ONC), based on Treasury Program observations with the
Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) ACS/WFC camera. Our catalog contains
2454 objects in the magnitude range of 14.2<mF775W<24.7, thus
probing the stellar masses of the ONC from ∼0.4M☉ down to
∼0.02M☉ over an area of ∼550arcmin2. We provide a number of
internal velocity dispersion estimates for the ONC that indicate a
weak dependence on stellar location and mass. There is good agreement
with the published velocity dispersion estimates, although nearly all
of them (including ours at {sigma }{v,x}=0.94 and
σ{v,y}=1.25mas/yr) might be biased by the overlapping young
stellar populations of Orion A. We identified four new ONC candidate
runaways based on HST and the Gaia DR 2 data, all with masses less
than ∼1M☉. The total census of known candidate runaway sources is
10-one of the largest samples ever found in any Milky Way open star
cluster. Surprisingly, none of them have tangential velocities
exceeding 20km/s. If most of them indeed originated in the ONC, it may
compel the re-examination of dynamical processes in very young star
clusters. It appears that the mass function of the ONC is not
significantly affected by the lost runaways.
Description:
The Treasury Program on the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) (GO-10246;
PI: M. Robberto) produced a large number of observations with three
different Hubble Space Telescope (HST) cameras through 10 different
filters.
This first HST Treasury Program on the ONC was done over two sets of
epochs, 2004-October-11 November-7 and 2005-March-3 April-26, with
a ∼180° change of the HST orientation between these periods. These
two sets of observations constitute our first epoch.
We designed a second HST Treasury Program on the ONC (GO-13826;
PI: M. Robberto). For the purpose of deriving proper motions, the
ACS/WFC observations were designed to reproduce-to the extent
possible-the same pointings and exposure time, telescope orientation,
guide stars, and the Earth-orbit position as in our first survey. Only
the broadband filter F775W was used for these observations over two
time periods in 2015-February-8 April-28 and 2015-August-1 October-29,
thus establishing our second epoch.
