ABSTRACT
We have performed IZJHKL′ observations in NGC6611, the young cluster that
ionises the Eagle Nebula. We have discovered a rich pre-main sequence concentrated
around the O-stars in the cluster. As measured by their L′-band excesses, at least
58%± 5% of the pre-main sequence objects (0.45M⊙ M 2M⊙) have circumstellar
discs. By comparing this disc frequency with frequencies determined for regions where
the pre-main sequence stars are subject to less ionising radiation, we find no evidence
that the harsher environment of NGC6611 (approximately an order of magnitude
more ionising Lyman continuum radiation than the Trapezium cluster) significantly
hastens the dissipation of circumstellar discs around solar-mass stars.
Key words: circumstellar matter – stars: pre-main-sequence – stars: late type – open
clusters and associations: individual (NGC6611) – infrared: stars
1 INTRODUCTION
A significant fraction of the low-mass stars in our Galaxy
may be born in environments where very massive stars
are also present. The winds and ionising radiation from
O-stars could be expected to change the properties of
low-mass stellar populations in two ways: by inhibit-
ing low-mass star formation (e.g., Silk 1977) and/or
by hastening the dispersal of their circumstellar discs
(Johnstone, Hollenbach Bally 1998). However, observa-
tions in several nearby OB-associations (e.g., the Trapez-
ium cluster) reveal a wealth of low
