BVRIJHKs photometry in sigma Ori cluster

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We report an optical photometric survey of 0.89deg^2^ of the Orion OB1b association centered on sigma Ori.

Description

This region includes most of the sigma Ori cluster, the highest-density region within Orion OB1b. We have developed a statistical procedure to identify the young, low-mass, pre-main-sequence population of the association.

We estimate that the cluster has 160 members in the mass range (0.2M_{sun}_<=M<=1.0M_{sun}_). The cluster has a radius of 35pc and an estimated age of 2.5+/-0.3Myr. We estimate that the total mass of the cluster is 225+/-30M_{sun}_.

This mass is similar to the estimated mass of the ~5x10^5^yr old cluster NGC 2024. NGC 2024 and sigma Ori appear to be a well-matched pair of clusters, except for the ~2Myr difference in their ages.
