摘要
The extreme outer galaxy (EOG), at a galactic radius of more than 18 kpc, is known to have very low metallicity. We find that in two very young (similar to 0.5 Myr) star-forming clusters in the EOG the fraction of stars with near-infrared excess is significantly lower than for those in the solar neighborhood. Our results suggest that most stars forming in the low-metallicity environment experience disk dispersal at an earlier stage (<1 Myr) than those forming in the solar metallicity environment (as much as similar to 5-6 Myr).
