VIc photometry of M50 (NGC 2323) low-mass stars

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We report on the results of a time-series photometric survey of M50 (NGC 2323), a ~130Myr open cluster, carried out using the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) 4-m Blanco telescope and Mosaic-II detector as part of the Monitor project.

Description

Rotation periods were derived for 812 candidate cluster members over the mass range 0.2<=M/M_{sun}_<=1.1. The rotation period distributions show a clear mass-dependent morphology, statistically indistinguishable from those in NGC 2516 and M35 taken from the literature.

Due to the availability of data from three observing runs separated by ~10 and 1 month time-scales, we are able to demonstrate clear evidence for evolution of the photometric amplitudes, and hence spot patterns, over the 10 month gap. We are not able to constrain the time-scales for these effects in detail due to limitations imposed by the large gaps in our sampling, which also prevent the use of the phase information.
