Praesepe (NGC 2632) and its tidal tails
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
Within a 400pc sphere around the Sun, we search for Praesepe's tidal tails in the Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) data set.
Description
We used a modified convergent-point method to find stars with space velocities close to the space velocity of the Praesepe cluster. We find a clear indication for the existence of Praesepe's tidal tails, both extending up to 165pc from the centre of the cluster.
A total of 1393 stars populate the cluster and its tails, giving a total mass of 794M_{sun}_. We determined a tidal radius of 10.77pc for the cluster and a tidal mass of 483M_{sun}_. The corresponding half-mass radius is 4.8pc.

We also found a clear indication for mass segregation in the cluster. The tidal tails outside 2 tidal radii are populated by 389 stars. The total contamination of our sample by field stars lies between 50 and 100 stars or 3.6-7.2%.
We used an astrometrically and photometrically clean subsample of Gaia DR2, which makes our Praesepe sample incomplete beyond M~12.0mag; this corresponds to about 0.25M_{sun}_. A comparison with an N-body model of the cluster and its tails shows remarkably good coincidence. Three new white dwarfs are found in the tails.
