到SS433/W50的距离及其与ISM的相互作用

The Distance to SS433/W50 and its Interaction with the ISM

Felix J. Lockman, Katherine M. Blundell, W. M. Goss

摘要:

利用VLA吸收的HI、GBT发射的HI和FCRAO发射的12 CO的新观测结果,重新检验了到相对论性喷流源SS 433和相关超新星遗迹W 50的距离。新的测量结果表明,HI在75 km/s的速度下被SS 433吸收,但在切点的速度下没有吸收,切点的运动学距离为5.5 < d_k <6.5kpc。这与从光旅行时间参数确定的5.5 +/- 0.2 kpc距离完全一致(Blundell & Bowler 2004)。HI辐射图显示了W 50的叶与星际介质在采用的系统速度V_LSR = 75 km/s附近相互作用的证据。西瓣位于银河平面附近HI辐射的空腔中,而东瓣终止于一个膨胀的HI壳层。膨胀壳层的半径为40 pc,包含8 +/- 3 x 10^3 M_sun的HI,测量的动能为3 +/- 1.5 x 10^{49}尔格。在W50的主要部分周围也可能有一个静态的HI环或壳,其LSR速度为75 km/s,半径为70 pc,HI质量为3.5 - 10 x 10^4 M_sun。我们没有找到令人信服的证据,该系统与任何分子云或HI在其他速度的相互作用。HI发射数据表明,SS 433位于一个星际环境中,其密度远高于银河系平面的平均密度。这个星族I系统,现在位于银河平面以下约200 pc,很可能起源于从平面上的一个年轻星团中弹射出来的一个失控的O型双星。SS 433的新天体测量数据表明,该系统现在在银河平面方向上具有几十公里/秒的特殊速度。根据这一特殊的速度和W50遗迹的对称性,我们可以得出自SN以来的时间小于10^5年。

英文摘要:

[ABRIDGED] The distance to the relativistic jet source SS433 and the related supernova remnant W50 is re-examined using new observations of HI in absorption from the VLA, HI in emission from the GBT, and 12CO emission from the FCRAO. The new measurements show HI in absorption against SS433 to a velocity of 75 km/s but not to the velocity of the tangent point, which bounds the kinematic distance at 5.5 < d_k < 6.5 kpc. This is entirely consistent with a 5.5 +/- 0.2 kpc distance determined from light travel-time arguments (Blundell & Bowler 2004). The HI emission map shows evidence of interaction of the lobes of W50 with the interstellar medium near the adopted systemic velocity of V_LSR = 75 km/s. The western lobe sits in a cavity in the HI emission near the Galactic plane, while the eastern lobe terminates at an expanding HI shell. The expanding shell has a radius of 40 pc, contains 8 +/- 3 x 10^3 M_sun of HI and has a measured kinetic energy of 3 +/- 1.5 x 10^{49} ergs. There may also be a static HI ring or shell around the main part of W50 itself at an LSR velocity of 75 km/s, with a radius of 70 pc and a mass in HI of 3.5 - 10 x 10^4 M_sun. We do not find convincing evidence for the interaction of the system with any molecular cloud or with HI at other velocities. The HI emission data suggest that SS433 lies in an interstellar environment substantially denser than average for its distance from the Galactic plane. This Population I system, now about 200 pc below the Galactic plane, most likely originated as a runaway O-star binary ejected from a young cluster in the plane. New astrometric data on SS433 show that the system now has a peculiar velocity of a few tens of km/s in the direction of the Galactic plane. From this peculiar velocity and the symmetry of the W50 remnant we derive a time since the SN of < 10^5 yr.
