  1. Small Loose Young AssociationsThe SACY ProjectSearch for Associations ContainingYoung stars Carlos A. O. Torres & Germano R. Quast (LNA / MCT/BRAZIL) Claudio H. F. Melo & Michael Sterzik (ESO) Ramiro de la Reza & Licio da Silva (ON / MCT/BRAZIL)

  2. Background • 80’s - Isolated T Tauri stars? • 89 - New T Tauri stars found around TW Hya • 90’s - PDS (IRAS) • 2000 - Horologium Association (ROSAT) & Tucana Association  Both nearby (~50 pc), adjacent, with similar kinematics and ages  a unique and large association?  Others?

  3. Sample definition • ROSAT All-Sky Bright Source Catalogue • Proper motions from Hipparcos or Tycho-2 Catalogues • (B-V)  0.6 (later than G0) • Excluding known RS CVn, W UMa, giants, etc (SIMBAD) • Excluding Mv < 2.0 (or L < 10 Lʘ  ages > 5 Myr)

  4. Goals • Li abundance • Metallicity • Radial and Rotational Velocities • Duplicity • Evolutionary stage

  5. Instruments • FEROS (ESO - 1.52 m & 2.2m) • Coudé (OPD/LNA - 1.60m) • CORALIE (ESO - Swiss Euler Telescope)

  8. UVW from stars with parallaxes UVW taken from literature UVW from6D clusteringanalysis Age from Li strength or Isochrone fitting 1st step – look for concentration in the UVW space Concentration detectedaround U0V0W0Group/Association?

  9. Minimize: Loop over all young objectsin the catalogue σ= Out of ad-hoc XYZ constraints to the member list? Probabilities? New ad-hoc XYZ constraints? New limits: F or σ? Yes 2nd step - Loop over catalogue until convergence is reached Star rejected No Add star to Member list Compute newU0V0W0 usingnew member list

  35. Insights • The distribution of young stars in the solar neighborhood is patchy, forming huge kinematical associations. • We recognize at least 14 young associations in the SACY database (there are five more possible associations to verify) .
