A photometric survey for low-mass members of IC 2391.
PATTEN B.M. and PAVLOVSKY C.M.
Abstract (from CDS):
A VRI photometric survey has been conducted in the young open cluster IC 2391 to identify candidate low-mass cluster members. Photometry for some 10,725 objects, ranging from V=10 to V=20, were extracted from 21 CCD fields positioned within 1° of the nominal cluster center [α2000=08h42m, δ2000=-53°00']. Seventeen stars have been identified as candidate cluster members with (V-I) colors ranging from 2.78 to 3.72. The masses of these candidate members are estimated to range from 0.25 to 0.09 M☉. If these stars are indeed IC 2391 members, they will help to rectify an apparent deficit of low-luminosity stars in the luminosity function of this cluster.
