Mass segregation effects in very young open clusters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 October 2007
Abstract
We derived proper motions and membership probabilities of stars in the regions of two very young (~ 2–4 Myr-old) open clusters NGC 2244 and NGC 6530. Both clusters show clear evidence of mass segregation, which provides strong support for the suggestion that the observed mass segregation is – at least partially – due to the way in which star formation has proceeded in these complex star-forming regions (“primordial” mass segregation).
