摘要:

我们提出的观测结果银河系HII区域S294,使用光学光度学,窄带成像和无线电连续映射在1280 MHz,以及档案数据从2 MASS,MSX和IRAS调查。恒星表面密度剖面显示,与S294区域相关的星团半径约为2.3弧分。我们发现星团区域内的尘埃有反常的红化规律,总消光与选择消光之比为3.8 ± 0.1。根据光学CC图和CM图,我们估计最小红化E(B-V)= 1.35等,到该区域的距离为4.8 ± 0.2kpc。我们确定了HII区域的电离源,光谱类型估计与光谱类型为~ B 0 V的恒星一致。2 MASS JHKs图像显示了与电离源相关的部分嵌入式集群以及朝向S294东部边界的小集群。在射电连续谱和H α图像中沿小星系团方向出现的电离锋可能是电离源与附近分子云相互作用的结果。我们发现在2.12微米处的弧形扩散分子氢发射和半环MSX尘埃发射,其围绕电离气体在电离前沿的方向上。在小星团附近探测到的中远红外连续辐射自洽辐射转移模型与B1.5 ZAMS星观测到的光谱能量分布符合得很好。电离气体和分子气体之间的形态相关性,以及电离恒星、HII区演化和小星团之间可能存在的时间尺度,表明在边界观察到的恒星形成活动可能是由HII区的扩张引发的。

英文摘要:

We present the observational results of Galactic HII region S294, using optical photometry, narrow-band imaging and radio continuum mapping at 1280 MHz, together with archival data from 2MASS, MSX and IRAS surveys. The stellar surface density profile indicates that the radius of the cluster associated with the S294 region is ~ 2.3 arcmin. We found an anomalous reddening law for the dust inside the cluster region and the ratio of total-to-selective extinction is found to be 3.8+-0.1. We estimate the minimum reddening E (B-V) = 1.35 mag and distance of 4.8+-0.2 kpc to the region from optical CC and CM diagrams. We identified the ionizing source of the HII region, and spectral type estimates are consistent with a star of spectral type ~ B0 V. The 2MASS JHKs images reveal a partially embedded cluster associated with the ionizing source along with a small cluster towards the eastern border of S294. The ionization front seen along the direction of small cluster in radio continuum and Halpha images, might be due to the interaction of ionizing sources with the nearby molecular cloud. We found an arc shaped diffuse molecular hydrogen emission at 2.12 micron and a half ring of MSX dust emission which surrounds the ionized gas in the direction of the ionization front. Self consistent radiative transfer model of mid- to far-infrared continuum emission detected near small cluster is in good agreement with the observed spectral energy distribution of a B1.5 ZAMS star. The morphological correlation between the ionised and molecular gas, along with probable time scale involved between the ionising star, evolution of HII region and small cluster, indicates that the star-formation activity observed at the border is probably triggered by the expansion of HII region.
