摘要:

利用VLA和OVRO对一颗大质量候选原恒星IRAS 18566+0408进行了\nh 3(J,K)=(1,1),(2,2)和(3,3)反转跃迁,SiO J=2-1和HCN J=1-0谱线,以及43和87 GHz连续谱辐射的干涉观测。87 GHz的连续发射揭示了两个连续峰MM-1和MM-2沿分子脊。主峰MM-1与43 GHz处的紧凑发射特征相一致,并且主要来自尘埃发射。对于1.3的尘埃发射率指数$β$,MM-1的尘埃峰值质量为70 \msun,MM-2为27 \msun。假设内部加热,MM-1和MM-2的中心光度分别为$6 \times 10^4$和$8 \times 10^3$ \lsun。SiO发射揭示了从MM-1发出的良好准直的流出。在\nh 3中也检测到类似于SiO排放的射流。质量为27 \msun的流出物导致气体中显著加热至70 K的温度,远高于扩展核心中$\lsim 15$ K的温度。发现与外流有关的紧凑($< 3''$)和窄线($<1.5$ \kms -1)\nh 3(3,3)发射特征。它们可能是由\nh 3中类似于脉泽发射的弱粒子数反转引起的。对于MM-1,存在紧凑的\nh 3结构,其线宽从在3 $''$分辨率下测量的5.5 \kms -1 FHWM增加到在1 $''$分辨率下测量的8.7 \kms-1。在整个堆芯中,该线宽比$<$ 2 \kms -1的FWHM大得多,并且似乎不是源自流出。这种大的线宽可能来自旋转/下沉,或未解决的原恒星核心的相对运动。

英文摘要:

We performed interferometric observations of a high-mass protostellar candidate IRAS 18566+0408 in the \nh3 (J,K)=(1,1), (2,2) and (3,3) inversion transitions, the SiO J=2-1 and HCN J=1-0 lines, and the 43 and 87 GHz continuum emission using the VLA and OVRO. The 87 GHz continuum emission reveals two continuum peaks MM-1 and MM-2 along a molecular ridge. The dominant peak MM-1 coincides with a compact emission feature at 43 GHz, and arises mostly from the dust emission. For dust emissivity index $β$ of 1.3, the masses in the dust peaks amount to 70 \msun for MM-1, and 27 \msun for MM-2. Assuming internal heating, the central luminosities of MM-1 and MM-2 are $6 \times 10^4$ and $8 \times 10^3$ \lsun, respectively. The SiO emission reveals a well collimated outflow emanating from MM-1. The jet-like outflow is also detected in \nh3 at velocities similar to the SiO emission. The outflow, with a mass of 27 \msun, causes significant heating in the gas to temperatures of 70 K, much higher than the temperature of $\lsim 15$ K in the extended core. Compact ($< 3''$) and narrow line ($<1.5$ \kms-1) \nh3 (3,3) emission features are found associated with the outflow. They likely arise from weak population inversion in \nh3 similar to the maser emission. Toward MM-1, there is a compact \nh3 structure with a linewidth that increases from 5.5 \kms-1 FHWM measured at 3$''$ resolution to 8.7 \kms-1\ measured at 1$''$ resolution. This linewidth is much larger than the FWHM of $<$ 2 \kms-1 in the entire core, and does not appear to originate from the outflow. This large linewidth may arise from rotation/infall, or relative motions of unresolved protostellar cores.
