摘要:

我们目前的自行水脉泽对Onsala 1恒星形成区,观察与日本VLBI网络在三个时期跨越290天。我们发现有两个水脉泽团(WMC 1和WMC 2),它们相距1”.6(2900 AU,距离1.8kpc)。自行测量表明,WMC 1与一个东西向伸长的双极外流有关,其膨胀速度为69 ± 11 km/s。WMC 1和WMC 2与两个345 GHz连续尘埃发射源有关,位于8.4 GHz无线电连续辐射追踪的超紧凑HII区域核心以东2”(3600 AU)。这表明Onsala 1的恒星形成活动可能从超致密HII区的西侧移动到与水脉泽相关的两个年轻恒星天体的东侧。我们还发现WMC 1和UC HII区可能是引力束缚的。它们沿视线的相对速度为3 km/s,总质量为37 Mo。Onsala 1似乎拥有一颗处于不同演化阶段的双星。

英文摘要:

We present proper motions of water masers toward the Onsala 1 star forming region, observed with the Japanese VLBI network at three epochs spanning 290 days. We found that there are two water maser clusters (WMC1 and WMC2) separated from each other by 1".6 (2900 AU at a distance of 1.8 kpc). The proper motion measurement reveals that WMC1 is associated with a bipolar outflow elongated in the east-west direction with an expansion velocity of 69+-11 km/s. WMC1 and WMC2 are associated with two 345 GHz continuum dust emission sources, and located 2" (3600 AU) east from the core of an ultracompact HII region traced by 8.4 GHz radio continuum emission. This indicates that star formation activity of Onsala 1 could move from the west side of ultracompact HII region to the east side of two young stellar objects associated with the water masers. We also find that WMC1 and UC HII region could be gravitationally bound. Their relative velocity along the line of sight is 3 km/s, and total mass is 37 Mo. Onsala 1 seems to harbor a binary star at different evolutionary stage.
