Early-type Sco-Cen members with literature RVs
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We report the serendipitous discovery of several young mid-M stars found during a search for new members of the 30-40Myr-old Octans Association.
Description
Only one of the stars may be considered a possible Octans(-Near) member. However, two stars have proper motions, kinematic distances, radial velocities, photometry and LII {lambda}6708 measurements consistent with membership in the 8-10Myr-old TW Hydrae Association.
Another may be an outlying member of TW Hydrae but has a velocity similar to that predicted by membership in Octans. We also identify two new lithium-rich members of the neighbouring Scorpius-Centaurus OB Association (Sco-Cen). Both exhibit large 12 and 22{mu}m excesses and strong, variable H{alpha} emission which we attribute to accretion from circumstellar discs.

Such stars are thought to be incredibly rare at the ~16Myr median age of Sco-Cen and they join only one other confirmed M-type and three higher mass accretors outside of Upper Scorpius. The serendipitous discovery of two accreting stars hosting large quantities of circumstellar material may be indicative of a sizeable age spread in Sco-Cen, or further evidence that disc dispersal and planet formation time-scales are longer around lower mass stars.
To aid future studies of Sco-Cen, we also provide a newly compiled catalogue of 305 early-type Hipparcos members with spectroscopic radial velocities sourced from the literature.
