Star formation in bright-rimmed clouds and clusters associated with the W5 E H ii region

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the results of photometric investigations of the central cluster of the W5 E H II region as well as a follow-up study of the triggered star formation in and around bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs). We have carried out wide-field UBVI C and deep VI C photometry of the W5 E H II region. A distance of ∼2.1 kpc and a mean age of ∼1.3 Myr have been obtained for the central cluster. The young stellar objects (YSOs) associated with the region are identified on the basis of near-infrared… Show more

“…It is worthwhile to point out that the estimation of the ages and masses of the PMS stars by comparing their locations in the CMDs with the theoretical isochrones and evolutionary tracks is prone to random as well as systematic errors (Hillenbrand 2005;Hillenbrand et al 2008;Chauhan et al 2009Chauhan et al , 2011. The systematic errors could be due to the use of different PMS evolutionary models and the error in distance estimation etc.…”

“…It is important to note that estimating the ages and masses of the PMS stars by comparing their locations in the CMDs with theoretical isochrones is prone to both random and systematic errors (see Hillenbrand 2005;Hillenbrand et al 2008;Chauhan et al 2009Chauhan et al , 2011. The effect of random errors due to photometric errors and reddening estimation in determining the ages and masses has been evaluated by propagating the random errors to their observed measurements by assuming a normal error distribution and using Monte Carlo simulations (cf.…”
