摘要:

为了更好地了解大质量恒星形成过程中热分子核阶段的物理和化学过程,我们利用亚毫米波阵列(SMA)在862 μ波段对G29.96 - 0.02进行了亚弧秒空间分辨率的观测。这些观测将热分子核心分解为六个亚毫米级连续源,迄今为止最好的空间分辨率为0.36 "x0.25"(~1800 AU)。其中4个位于7800(AU)^[2]范围内,组成了一个原梯形系统,估计其原恒星密度为1.4x0^5颗原恒星/pc ^[3]。大量的~80谱线使我们能够研究分子外流、核心运动学、该区域的温度结构以及化学效应。导出的热核温度为300K量级。我们发现有趣的化学空间差异,例如,C34S是缺乏对热的核心,并增强在UCHII/热的核心接口,这可能是由温度敏感的脱附从晶粒和以下气相化学。SiO(8 - 7)发射轮廓可能是两个分子流出从这个热的核心区域发出。大多数其他分子的发射峰集中在热核心上,并且不受任何单个亚毫米峰的支配。讨论了可能的原因。与主要亚毫米连续源相关的几条谱线显示出垂直于大尺度外流的速度梯度。由于这个速度结构包括三个中央原恒星源,所以它不是开普勒圆盘。虽然这些数据与可能旋转和/或塌陷的气体核心一致,但我们不能排除外流和/或附近扩展的UCHII区域作为这种速度模式的可能替代原因。

英文摘要:

Aiming at a better understand of the physical and chemical processes in the hot molecular core stage of high-mass star formation, we observed the prototypical hot core G29.96-0.02 in the 862mu band with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) at sub-arcsecond spatial resolution. The observations resolved the hot molecular core into six submm continuum sources with the finest spatial resolution of 0.36''x0.25'' (~1800AU) achieved so far. Four of them located within 7800(AU)^2 comprise a proto-Trapezium system with estimated protostellar densities of 1.4x0^5 protostars/pc^3. The plethora of ~80 spectral lines allows us to study the molecular outflow(s), the core kinematics, the temperature structure of the region as well as chemical effects. The derived hot core temperatures are of the order 300K. We find interesting chemical spatial differentiations, e.g., C34S is deficient toward the hot core and is enhanced at the UCHII/hot core interface, which may be explained by temperature sensitive desorption from grains and following gas phase chemistry. The SiO(8-7) emission outlines likely two molecular outflows emanating from this hot core region. Emission from most other molecules peaks centrally on the hot core and is not dominated by any individual submm peak. Potential reasons for that are discussed. A few spectral lines that are associated with the main submm continuum source, show a velocity gradient perpendicular to the large-scale outflow. Since this velocity structure comprises three of the central protostellar sources, this is not a Keplerian disk. While the data are consistent with a gas core that may rotate and/or collapse, we cannot exclude the outflow(s) and/or nearby expanding UCHII region as possible alternative causes of this velocity pattern.
