大质量恒星形成的初始条件

Initial conditions for massive star formation

Friedrich Wyrowski

摘要:

在这方面的贡献,我们的知识的初始条件下,大质量的恒星形成发生的审查。大质量恒星诞生于大质量的巨分子云(GMCs)中,因此首先对GMCs的性质进行了概述。作为分子云的一个潜在的早期阶段,红外暗云在十年前被发现为银河平面的中红外(MIR)图像中的暗斑,最近对其中的物理条件进行了许多研究。在没有MIR吸收的指导下,也可以使用大规模的无偏冷尘埃调查来识别大规模的冷团块。在没有大质量恒星形成的迹象的情况下,如紧凑的HII区域和明亮的红外光源,这些团块是研究大质量恒星形成的初始条件的最有希望的对象。总结了目前发现红外宁静团簇的观测方法及其物理和化学性质。

英文摘要:

In this contribution, our knowledge of the initial conditions under which massive star formation takes place is reviewed. Massive stars are born in massive clumps of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), hence first the properties of GMCs are summarized. As a potentially early stage of molecular clouds, infrared dark clouds have been discovered a decade ago as dark patches in mid-infrared (MIR) images of the Galactic plane and many studies of the physical conditions within them have been conducted recently. Without the guidance of MIR absorption, large scale, unbiased cold dust surveys can be used as well to identify massive cold clumps. In the absence of indicators of ongoing massive star formation, like compact HII regions and bright IR sources, these clumps are the most promising objects for the study of the initial conditions of massive star formation. Current observational approaches to find IR quiet clumps and their physical and chemical properties are summarized.
