Alpha Per cluster low-mass members. II.

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The present investigation examines possible optical counterparts to 130 X-ray sources in the region of the alpha Persei open cluster (d~170pc, age~50Myr) resulting from the analysis of three 22-25ksec ROSAT PSPC pointings.

Description

In the same manner as for 73 X-ray sources from a raster survey in alpha Per (Prosser & Randich, 1998, Cat. <J/AN/319/201>), CCD photometry is employed to obtain magnitudes and colors for stars/objects close to the X-ray positions, with additional echelle and low-dispersion Halpha spectra provided for some stars.

For almost 60 X-ray sources, an optical counterpart with photometry acceptable for cluster membership is identified, some of which can be excluded from membership on the basis of discrepant radial velocity or X-ray characteristics. On the order of 30 new members or likely members associated with X-ray sources have been identified based on available data. A photometric rotation period has been obtained for one rapid rotator identified in X-rays.
