Pleiades member candidates via STARGO with Gaia EDR3

Description

Members of the Pleiades open cluster are selected by using the STARGO method (Yuan et al. 2018) with Gaia early data release 3 (EDR3; Gaia Collaboration et al. 2021) data. See Li et al. 2021 (in prep. for Research Note of the AAS) for a detailed description. 

We downloaded the Gaia EDR3 data 100 pc from the center of Pleiades (X, Y, Z) = (−121.38, +29.17, −54.47) pc in Heliocentric Cartesian coordinates (Galli et al. 2017; Olivares et al. 2018). After removing artifacts and poor quality photometric sources (Lindegren et al 2018), we select stars within a radius of 10.8 mas yr^−1 from the center of the mean proper motion (μα cos δ, μδ ) = (+19.997, −45.548) mas yr-1 of Pleiades (Gaia Collaboration et al. 2018) and input the 5D parameters (X, Y, Z, μα cosδ, μδ) into STARGO. We allow a 5% field star contamination rate in our identified members.

We correct the distance of individual stars in Pleiades for the pseudo-elongation generated by parallax errors, via a Bayesian approach described in Carrera et al. (2019) and Pang et al. (2020, 2021). The mass of individual members in Pleiades is computed via the k-D tree method by taking the mass of the nearest point in the isochrone of 125 Myr (Lodieu et al. 2019) with AV = 0.11 mag and [Fe/H] = 0.08 (Gossage et al. 2018).

"x_c", "y_c", "z_c" are the cluster position with distance correction in Heliocentric Cartesian coordinates. "Mass" represents the mass estimate of each star member via k-D tree method (Millman & Aivazis 2011). The descriptions of other parameters are found by opening the fits. file in TOPCAT.
