博克球CB54中的恒星形成

Star Formation in the Bok Globule CB54

David R. Ciardi, Cynthia Gomez Martin

摘要:

我们提出中红外(10.4 \micron,11.7 \micron,和18.3 \micron)成像旨在定位和表征的博克球状体CB 54内的可疑的原恒星组件。我们检测并确认了近红外源CB 54 YC 1-II的原恒星状态。发现CB 54 YC 1-II的中红外光度为$L_{midir} \approx 8 L_\sun$,我们估计中心源质量为$M_* \approx 0.8 M_\sun$(质量吸积率为${\dot M}=10^{-6} M_\sun yr^{-1}$)。CB 54还有另一个近红外源(CB 54 YC 1-I),我们的观测没有探测到。这一未被探测到的现象与CB 54 YC 1-I是一颗高度熄灭的嵌入式年轻A或B星或背景G或F巨星相一致。对CB 54 YC 1-I的另一种解释是,光源是一颗以极高倾角观察的嵌入式原恒星,近红外探测到的不是中央原恒星,而是吸积盘散射到我们视线中的光。此外,我们还发现了三个新的中红外源,它们在空间上与CB 54中先前已知的致密核心一致。源温度($\sim100$ K)和关联的中红外源的致密核心表明,这些中红外对象可能是嵌入式0类原恒星。

英文摘要:

We present mid-infrared (10.4 \micron, 11.7 \micron, and 18.3 \micron) imaging intended to locate and characterize the suspected protostellar components within the Bok globule CB54. We detect and confirm the protostellar status for the near-infrared source CB54YC1-II. The mid-infrared luminosity for CB54YC1-II was found to be $L_{midir} \approx 8 L_\sun$, and we estimate a central source mass of $M_* \approx 0.8 M_\sun$ (for a mass accretion rate of ${\dot M}=10^{-6} M_\sun yr^{-1}$). CB54 harbors another near-infrared source (CB54YC1-I), which was not detected by our observations. The non-detection is consistent with CB54YC1-I being a highly extinguished embedded young A or B star or a background G or F giant. An alternative explanation for CB54YC1-I is that the source is an embedded protostar viewed at an extremely high inclination angle, and the near-infrared detections are not of the central protostar, but of light scattered by the accretion disk into our line of sight. In addition, we have discovered three new mid-infrared sources, which are spatially coincident with the previously known dense core in CB54. The source temperatures ($\sim100$K) and association of the mid-infrared sources with the dense core suggests that these mid-infrared objects may be embedded class 0 protostars.
