摘要:

斯皮策太空望远镜的核心到磁盘遗产团队的观测已经确定了致密核心内的低光度,中红外源,Lynds 1014,以前被认为没有内部来源。后续的近红外和亚毫米干涉观测通过探测来自外流腔和弱分子外流的散射光证实了这一源的原恒星性质。本文报道了用VLA探测厘米级连续辐射的实验结果。发射的特点是一个静止的,未分辨的90 μ Jy 6厘米源0.2”的斯皮策源。静态成分的光谱指数为6 cm至3.6 cm之间的$α= 0.37\pm 0.34$。在一个时期内检测到6 cm发射的两倍增加,并且在$5σ$水平下以Stokes {V/I} $= 48 \pm 16$ %略微检测到圆偏振。在2004年6月至2006年12月的7次观测中,我们一直在寻找L1014-IRS的22 GHz H2O脉泽辐射,但没有发现脉泽辐射。L1014-IRS似乎是一个低质量的吸积原恒星,表现出厘米发射从热喷流或风,与可变的非热发射组件。静止的厘米射电发射明显高于3.6厘米和6厘米光度与热光度的相关性,表明比预期更多的射电发射。我们的特点厘米连续发射的观测其他低质量的原恒星,包括更新的相关性厘米连续发射与热光度和外流力,并讨论了最近较大的距离估计的物理属性的原恒星和致密的分子核心的影响。

英文摘要:

Observations by the Cores to Disk Legacy Team with the Spitzer Space Telescope have identified a low luminosity, mid-infrared source within the dense core, Lynds 1014, which was previously thought to harbor no internal source. Followup near-infrared and submillimeter interferometric observations have confirmed the protostellar nature of this source by detecting scattered light from an outflow cavity and a weak molecular outflow. In this paper, we report the detection of cm continuum emission with the VLA. The emission is characterized by a quiescent, unresolved 90 uJy 6 cm source within 0.2" of the Spitzer source. The spectral index of the quiescent component is $α= 0.37\pm 0.34$ between 6 cm and 3.6 cm. A factor of two increase in 6 cm emission was detected during one epoch and circular polarization was marginally detected at the $5σ$ level with Stokes {V/I} $= 48 \pm 16$% . We have searched for 22 GHz H2O maser emission toward L1014-IRS, but no masers were detected during 7 epochs of observations between June 2004 and December 2006. L1014-IRS appears to be a low-mass, accreting protostar which exhibits cm emission from a thermal jet or a wind, with a variable non-thermal emission component. The quiescent cm radio emission is noticeably above the correlation of 3.6 cm and 6 cm luminosity versus bolometric luminosity, indicating more radio emission than expected. We characterize the cm continuum emission in terms of observations of other low-mass protostars, including updated correlations of centimeter continuum emission with bolometric luminosity and outflow force, and discuss the implications of recent larger distance estimates on the physical attributes of the protostar and dense molecular core.
