Abstract:
Walfraven photometry of established and probable members of the Orion OB1
association is presented. Effective temperature, surface gravity,
luminosity and mass are derived for all stars, using atmosphere model by
Kurucz (1979). Absolute magnitudes are calculated using the Straizys and
Kuriliene (1981) tables. Distance moduli and visual extinctions are
determined. A comparison of the visual extinctions to IRAS 100 micrometers
data shows that the near edge of the Orion A and B clouds lies at a
distance of approximately 320 pc, while the far edge is at approximately
500 pc. A method for deriving the ages of the subgroups by comparing
theoretical isochrones to the observations in the log g, log Teff plane is
presented. The derived ages suggest, contrary to earlier studies, that
subgroup 1b is younger than 1c, which can possibly be explained by past
geometries of the system of stars and gas. The initial mass function for
Orion OB1 is derived with the aid of the Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test. Through
extensive simulations, we show that it is very difficult to derive
accurately the Initial Mass Function (IMF) from the available data. To
within somewhat weak limits the IMF is found to be of the form
xi(log M) = AM-1.7 +/- 0.2 for all subgroups. The energy output of the
subgroups in the form of stellar winds and supernovae is calculated and
compared to the observed size and expansion velocity of the Orion-Eridanus
bubble. It is shown that the energy output of the association can account
for the morphology and kinematics of the interstellar medium (ISM).
