摘要:

利用亚毫米波天线阵对MWC 349 A星周区域H30 $α$复合线(231.9GHz)的角分布进行了测量。分辨率为$1\farcs2$,但由于高信噪比,我们在$1 kms$的速度分辨率下测量了所有脉泽组件的位置,其精度优于$0\farcs01$。两个最强的脉泽成分(称为高速成分)在速度接近-14和$32 kms$处,沿位置角$102 \pm 1\arcdeg$相隔$0\farcs048 \pm 0\farcs001$(60 AU)。给出了在这两个最强分量之间和之外速度处脉泽辐射的分布。连续辐射位于脉泽分布的中心,在10质量之内。脉泽似乎跟踪一个几乎边缘旋转盘结构,让人想起水脉泽开普勒旋转的核吸积盘星系NGC 4258。然而,微波脉泽组件MWC 349 A不遵循一个简单的开普勒运动学与$v \sim r^{-1/2}$处方,但有一个更大的幂律指数。我们探讨了高速脉泽追踪螺旋密度或激波的可能性。我们还强调谨慎的相对质心微波激射器的位置,微波激射器的位置或速度没有明确解决的解释,我们提出了模拟,说明了质心方法的适用范围。

英文摘要:

We used the Submillimeter Array to map the angular distribution of the H30$α$ recombination line (231.9 GHz) in the circumstellar region of the peculiar star MWC349A. The resolution was $1\farcs2$, but because of high signal-to-noise ratio we measured the positions of all maser components to accuracies better than $0\farcs01$, at a velocity resolution of $1 kms$. The two strongest maser components (called high velocity components) at velocities near -14 and $32 kms$ are separated by $0\farcs048 \pm 0\farcs001$ (60 AU) along a position angle of $102 \pm 1\arcdeg$. The distribution of maser emission at velocities between and beyond these two strongest components were also provided. The continuum emission lies at the center of the maser distribution to within 10 mas. The masers appear to trace a nearly edge-on rotating disk structure, reminiscent of the water masers in Keplerian rotation in the nuclear accretion disk of the galaxy NGC4258. However, the maser components in MWC349A do not follow a simple Keplerian kinematic prescription with $v \sim r^{-1/2}$, but have a larger power law index. We explore the possibility that the high velocity masers trace spiral density or shock waves. We also emphasize caution in the interpretation of relative centroid maser positions where the maser is not clearly resolved in position or velocity, and we present simulations that illustrate the range of applicability of the centroiding method.
