大质量年轻星体外流的SiO 5-4辐射的观测

A survey of SiO 5-4 emission towards outflows from massive young stellar objects

A. G. Gibb, C. J. Davis, T. J. T. Moore

摘要:

本文介绍了用詹姆斯·克拉克·麦克斯韦望远镜(JCMT)观测到的大质量年轻星体外流样品中SiO 5-4发射的调查结果。样本来自Ridge & Moore的单距离研究。在12个源的样本中,5个源中检测到5-4线,检测率为42%,这一检测率高于低光度流出源样本的检测率,尽管对于可比较光度的源,这与以前对高光度源的调查结果非常一致。对于大多数探测到的源,5-4发射是紧凑的或沿流出方向略微延伸。NGC 6334 I在5-4线中显示出清晰的双极血流。使用伯克利-伊利诺伊-马里兰协会(BIMA)毫米干涉仪获得了W3-IRS 5,AFGL 5142和W75 N的SiO 2-1跃迁的额外数据。在两条线中的SiO发射的外观之间存在广泛的一致性,尽管存在一些微小的差异。AFGL 5142的2-1辐射被分解成两个在天空中空间上重合的流出叶,与以前的观测结果很好地一致。在一般情况下,一氧化硅排放量明显与流出。SiO 5-4可检测性的主要指标是流出速度,即SiO2的存在是高速流出的指标。这一结果是一致的存在一个临界冲击速度所需的破坏尘埃颗粒和随后的SiO形成后冲击气体。也有微弱的证据表明,更高光度的来源和更密集的流出更有可能被检测到。

英文摘要:

Results are presented of a survey of SiO 5-4 emission observed with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) towards a sample of outflows from massive young stellar objects. The sample is drawn from a single-distance study by Ridge & Moore. In a sample of 12 sources, the 5-4 line was detected in 5, a detection rate of 42 per cent. This detection rate is higher than that found for a sample of low-luminosity outflow sources, although for sources of comparable luminosity, it is in good agreement with the results of a previous survey of high luminosity sources. For most of the detected sources, the 5-4 emission is compact or slightly extended along the direction of the outflow. NGC6334I shows a clear bipolar flow in the 5-4 line. Additional data were obtained for W3-IRS5, AFGL5142 and W75N for the 2-1 transition of SiO using the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association (BIMA) millimetre interferometer. There is broad agreement between the appearance of the SiO emission in both lines, though there are some minor differences. The 2-1 emission in AFGL5142 is resolved into two outflow lobes which are spatially coincident on the sky, in good agreement with previous observations. In general the SiO emission is clearly associated with the outflow. The primary indicator of SiO 5-4 detectability is the outflow velocity, i.e. the presence of SiO is an indicator of a high velocity outflow. This result is consistent with the existence of a critical shock velocity required to disrupt dust grains and subsequent SiO formation in post-shock gas. There is also weak evidence that higher luminosity sources and denser outflows are more likely to be detected.
