大质量原恒星天体的Spitzer-IRAC GLIMPSE

Spitzer-IRAC GLIMPSE of High Mass Protostellar Objects

M. S. N. Kumar, J. M. C. Grave

摘要:

Spitzer-GLIMPSE点源星表和图像已被用于研究381个大质量原恒星候选者的样本。用IRAC点源测光法分析了大质量原恒星天体红外对应物的颜色、星等和光谱指数,获得了50个点源的真实样品。利用文献中的2 MASS和毫米波数据,将这50个源的光谱能量分布(SED)扩展到近红外和毫米波范围。利用基于恒星、盘和包层吸积模型Monte-Carlo辐射转移的在线SED拟合工具对50个源的SED进行了拟合。大质量原恒星的IRCs被发现成功地模仿了类似于低质量恒星形成的演化阶段的SED。被发现的信封吸积,而不是磁盘吸积是占主导地位的建设最大质量的恒星。未分辨厘米连续发射与27个IRC分类为大质量原恒星,这表明电离吸积流可能发挥重要作用,随着分子成分。IRCs周围的红外星云的形态与超致密HII区域的形态有着不同寻常的相似之处,这表明这些红外星云可能是UCHII区域的前身。

英文摘要:

The Spitzer-GLIMPSE point source catalog and images have been used to study a sample of 381 massive protostellar candidates. IRAC-Point source photometry was used to analyse colours, magnitudes and spectral indicies of the infrared counterparts (IRCs) of massive protostellar objects and a bonafide sample of 50 point sources was obtained. Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of these 50 sources was extended to the near-infrared and millimeter range by using 2MASS and millimeter data from the literature. An online SED fitter tool based on Monte-Carlo radiative transfer of an accretion model involving star,disk and envelope was used to fit the SEDs of the 50 sources. The IRCs to massive protostellar objects are found to successfully imitate the SEDs of evolutionary phases similar to low mass star formation. Envelope accretion, rather than disk accretion is found to be dominant in building the most massive stars. Unresolved centimeter continuum emission is associated with 27 IRCs classified as massive protostars suggesting that ionised accretion flows may play an important role along with the molecular component. The morphology of the infrared nebulae surrounding the IRCs have an unusual resemblance to the morphologies of ultra-compact HII regions suggesting that these infrared nebulae are possible precursors to the UCHII regions.
