Abstract:
We present 105 stellar rotation periods in the young cluster IC 348,
75 of which are new detections, increasing the total number of known
periods in this cluster to 143. The period distribution resembles that
seen in the heart of the Orion Nebula cluster by Herbst and
colleagues. Stars estimated to be less massive than 0.25M☉ show
a unimodal distribution of fast rotators (P∼1-2days) and a tail of slower
rotators, while stars estimated to be more massive than 0.25M☉
show a bimodal distribution with peaks at 2 and 8-days. We combine all
published rotation periods in IC 348 with Spitzer mid-IR (3.6, 4.5,
5.8, and 8.0um) photometry, an unprecedentedly efficient and reliable
disk indicator, in order to test the disk-braking paradigm.
Description:
For our photometric measurements of IC 348 stellar rotation periods,
data were collected using the McDonald Observatory 0.76m Telescope
and its Prime Focus Corrector which provides a 1° field of view,
46.2'x46.2' of which is covered by a 2048x2048 CCD. Ic-band timeseries
photometry was performed on data collected during three observing
runs: 2003 December 6-22, 2004 January 4-8, and 2004 January 24-30.
Ten slightly overlapping fields were used to cover the entire IRAC map
of the Perseus molecular cloud obtained as part of the Spitzer Legacy
Project From Molecular Cores to Planet-forming Disks, (c2d; Evans et
al., 2003PASP..115..965E 2003PASP..115..965E).
