The All-Orion Spectroscopic Survey and other
Hecto Surveys of Pre-main Sequence Populations

Allen) with Tom Megeath, Elaine Winston, Luis

Overview
MIPS 24

• Hecto ideal for characterizing large PMS
  populations
• Hectospec
• large FOV allows efficient coverage of extended
  populations
• wavelength coverage, resolution provides
  excellent spectral typing
• youth diagnostics such as Li, Halpha
• Hectochelle
• kinematics via radial velocities
• stellar rotation velocities
• accretion properties via Halpha profiles
• provides powerful complement with Spitzer surveys

The All-Orion Spectroscopic Survey
Targeting thousands of young stars in the Orion
GMC, selected from Spitzer and QUEST imaging
surveys. Orion region provides
nearby laboratory spanning a wide variety of
environments, ages (Complementary to Furesz et
al. ONC survey)

Spectra confirming membership

• Li I 6707 Å important to distinguish WTTS from
  field dMe stars
• contamination is significant in wide-field
  surveys!

NGC 2068/2071

NGC 2068/2071

• Active star formation in 3 subclusters
• Spitzer results
• Class I protostars tightly confined in linear
  structures near dense gas
• class II objects w/ disks more spread out
• a few of disks appear to be in transition,
  with optically thin inner regions
• What are the characteristics of the stellar
  population?
• ages
• masses
• dynamics
• accretion properties

Serpens Class Distribution
IRAC three colour mosaic of central core of
cluster, blue 3.6um, green 4.5 um, red 8.0um.
(J2000.) Showing distribution of sources with
X-ray detections by class. Class I white
circles Flat Sp blue invert. triangles Class II
green triangles Class III red squares Class not
segregated why? Do the classes represent an
evolution of the disk with age? If so, why are
they mixed? Is disk structure dependant on
cluster environment, are they coeval? Why the mix
of CI, FS, CII in the V formation? Clustering
of CIIIs? Why not dispersed? Young?
