3{mu}m survey of the Chamaeleon I dark cloud

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We describe an L-band photometric survey of ~0.5deg^2^ of the Chamaeleon I dark cloud.

Description

The survey has a completeness limit of L<11.0. Our survey detects 124 sources, including all known pre-main-sequence stars with L<=11.

The fraction of sources with near-IR excess emission is 58%+/-4% for K=9-11. Cha I sources have bluer H-K and K-L colors than pre-main-sequence stars in Taurus-Auriga. These sources also have a strong correlation between EW(H{alpha} and K-L. Stars with K-L<=0.6 have weak H{alpha} emission; stars with K-L>=0.6 have strong H{alpha]mission.

Because many Cha I sources are heavily reddened, this division between weak emission T Tauri stars and classical T Tauri stars occurs at a redder K-L than in Taurus-Auriga. We acquired L-band photometry of Cha I sources and standard stars using the South Pole Infrared Explorer (SPIREX) during the 1999 March-October observing season. The SPIREX 60cm telescope developed by CARA for observations at the South Pole was equipped with the NOAO/KPNO Abu infrared camera, which includes a first generation 1024x1024 InSb detector array.
