摘要:

甲醇脉泽发射已被证明是一个很好的路标地区正在经历的大质量恒星形成(MSF)。为了研究它们作为进化示踪剂的作用,我们最近完成了一个大型的观测计划与ATCA的分子/电离气体的动力学和物理性质,对6.7 GHz的甲醇脉泽发射跟踪的MSF区域的样本。我们发现,在许多这些地区的分子气体分解成多个子块,我们分成集团的基础上,他们与/不与甲醇脉泽和厘米连续发射。分子气体的温度和动力学状态在各组之间明显不同。基于这些差异,我们试图评估的核心在集团的演变状态,从而调查的作用,第二类甲醇脉泽作为MSF的示踪剂。

英文摘要:

Methanol maser emission has proven to be an excellent signpost of regions undergoing massive star formation (MSF). To investigate their role as an evolutionary tracer, we have recently completed a large observing program with the ATCA to derive the dynamical and physical properties of molecular/ionised gas towards a sample of MSF regions traced by 6.7 GHz methanol maser emission. We find that the molecular gas in many of these regions breaks up into multiple sub-clumps which we separate into groups based on their association with/without methanol maser and cm continuum emission. The temperature and dynamic state of the molecular gas is markedly different between the groups. Based on these differences, we attempt to assess the evolutionary state of the cores in the groups and thus investigate the role of class II methanol masers as a tracer of MSF.
