Title: Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey of Cygnus OB2 Complex – I. Introduction, photometry, and source catalogue

Abstract

ABSTRACT Low-mass star formation inside massive clusters is crucial to understand the effect of cluster environment on processes like circumstellar disc evolution, planet, and brown dwarf formation. The young massive association of Cygnus OB2, with a strong feedback from massive stars, is an ideal target to study the effect of extreme environmental conditions on its extensive low-mass population. We aim to perform deep multiwavelength studies to understand the role of stellar feedback on the IMF, brown dwarf fraction and circumstellar disc properties in the region. We introduce here, the deepest and widest optical photometry of 1.5○ diameter region centred at Cygnus OB2 in r2, i2, z, and Y-filters, using Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC). This work presents the data reduction, source catalogue generation, data quality checks, and preliminary results about the pre-main sequence sources. We obtain 713 529 sources in total, with detection down to ∼28, 27, 25.5, and 24.5 mag in r2, i2, z, and Y-band, respectively, which is ∼3 – 5 mag deeper than the existing Pan-STARRS and GTC/OSIRIS photometry. We confirm the presence of a distinct pre-main sequence branch by statistical field subtraction of the central 18 arcmin region. We find the median age of the region as ∼5 ± 2 Myr with an average disc fraction of ∼9 per cent. At this age, combined with A $$_V\, \sim$$ 6 – 8 mag, we detect sources down to a mass range of ∼0.01–0.17 M⊙. The deep HSC catalogue will serve as the groundwork for further studies on this prominent active young cluster.
