一个大质量恒星形成区样本中的流出和流入

Outflow and Infall in a Sample of Massive Star Forming Regions

P. D. Klaassen, C. D. Wilson

摘要:

我们提出了单点观测的SiO,HCO $^+$和H $^{13}$ CO $^+$从詹姆斯克拉克麦克斯韦望远镜对23个大质量的恒星形成区域以前已知的包含分子外流和超紧凑的HII地区。我们检测到SiO对14个来源,并建议在其他9个来源的非检测可能是由于这些流出是旧的,没有持续的冲击,以补充SiO。我们偶然发现SO $_2$对17个源在相同的调谐HCO $^+$。我们检测到HCO $^+$对所有的来源,并建议它是跟踪在9个案件的下降。对于7个坠落候选者,我们估计了1 $\times10^{-2}$和2 $\times10^{-5}$ M $_{\odot}$/$^{-1}$之间的质量坠落率。7个源显示SiO检测(年轻流出)和HCO $^+$入流特征。我们还发现,H $^{13}$ CO $^+$的丰度往往随着我们可以确定丰度的源中SiO的丰度而增加。我们讨论这些结果与目前的理论,通过吸积大质量恒星形成。从这次调查中,我们认为,也许这两种模式的电离吸积和停止吸积可能是重要的,在描述一个大规模的原恒星(或原恒星)超越形成的HII区域的演变。

英文摘要:

We present single pointing observations of SiO, HCO$^+$ and H$^{13}$CO$^+$ from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope towards 23 massive star forming regions previously known to contain molecular outflows and ultracompact HII regions. We detected SiO towards 14 sources and suggest that the non-detections in the other nine sources could be due to those outflows being older and without ongoing shocks to replenish the SiO. We serendipitously detected SO$_2$ towards 17 sources in the same tuning as HCO$^+$. We detected HCO$^+$ towards all sources, and suggest that it is tracing infall in nine cases. For seven infall candidates, we estimate mass infall rates between 1$\times10^{-2}$ and 2$\times10^{-5}$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. Seven sources show both SiO detections (young outflows) and HCO$^+$ infall signatures. We also find that the abundance of H$^{13}$CO$^+$ tends to increase along with the abundance of SiO in sources for which we could determine abundances. We discuss these results with respect to current theories of massive star formation via accretion. From this survey, we suggest that perhaps both models of ionized accretion and halted accretion may be important in describing the evolution of a massive protostar (or protostars) beyond the formation of an HII region.
