阿雷西博甲醇脉泽银道面巡天- II:统计和多波长对应分析

The Arecibo Methanol Maser Galactic Plane Survey - II: Statistical and Multi-wavelength Counterpart Analysis

Jagadheep D. Pandian, Paul F. Goldsmith

摘要:

本文分析了在阿雷西博甲醇脉泽银道巡天中探测到的6.7GHz甲醇脉泽样品的性质。脉泽在银河系中的分布,和他们的多波长对应的统计数据是一致的假设6.7 GHz脉泽发射与大规模的年轻恒星物体。利用我们调查的检测统计数据,我们估计银河系中甲醇脉泽的最小数量为1275。样品的l-v图显示船底座-人马座旋臂的切点约为49.6度,表明在十字盾臂的延伸处有大质量恒星形成,脉泽谱的高斯分量分析显示平均线宽为0.38 km/s,比文献报道的线宽大一倍多。我们也没有发现任何证据表明,微弱的甲醇脉泽有不同的属性比他们的明亮的同行。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of the properties of the 6.7 GHz methanol maser sample detected in the Arecibo Methanol Maser Galactic Plane Survey. The distribution of the masers in the Galaxy, and statistics of their multi-wavelength counterparts is consistent with the hypothesis of 6.7 GHz maser emission being associated with massive young stellar objects. Using the detection statistics of our survey, we estimate the minimum number of methanol masers in the Galaxy to be 1275. The l-v diagram of the sample shows the tangent point of the Carina-Sagittarius spiral arm to be around 49.6 degrees, and suggests occurrence of massive star formation along the extension of the Crux-Scutum arm. A Gaussian component analysis of the maser spectra shows the mean line-width to be 0.38 km/s which is more than a factor of two larger than what has been reported in the literature. We also find no evidence that faint methanol masers have different properties than those of their bright counterparts.
