一个热的大质量吸积盘候选者的动力学

Kinematics of a hot massive accretion disk candidate

H. Beuther, A. Walsh

摘要:

高质量原恒星周围的自转、坍缩和吸积盘是大质量恒星形成研究中的一个重要课题。利用澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列和甚大阵列,我们在氨(NH 3(4,4)&(5,5))中以高角分辨率研究了一个巨大的盘候选者,追踪温暖的盘,但不是包络。观测结果以~ 0.4“的分辨率(相当于~ 1400 AU)分辨出一个速度梯度,表明旋转垂直于分子流出。假设存在开普勒吸积盘,估计的原恒星盘质量会很高,与原恒星质量相似。此外,位置-速度图显示出与开普勒旋转轮廓的额外偏差,这可能是由下落气体和/或自引力盘引起的。此外,大部分旋转气体的温度都在100 K以上,这与典型的低质量吸积盘明显不同。此外,我们解决了一个中心的双瓣厘米连续结构垂直于旋转。我们认为这是一个电离的,光学厚喷流。

英文摘要:

Characterizing rotation, infall and accretion disks around high-mass protostars is an important topic in massive star formation research. With the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Very Large Array we studied a massive disk candidate at high angular resolution in ammonia (NH3(4,4) & (5,5)) tracing the warm disk but not the envelope. The observations resolved at ~0.4'' resolution (corresponding to ~1400AU) a velocity gradient indicative of rotation perpendicular to the molecular outflow. Assuming a Keplerian accretion disk, the estimated protostar-disk mass would be high, similar to the protostellar mass. Furthermore, the position-velocity diagram exhibits additional deviation from a Keplerian rotation profile which may be caused by infalling gas and/or a self-gravitating disk. Moreover, a large fraction of the rotating gas is at temperatures >100K, markedly different to typical low-mass accretion disks. In addition, we resolve a central double-lobe cm continuum structure perpendicular to the rotation. We identify this with an ionized, optically thick jet.
