摘要:

本文给出了银河系暗巨星H Ⅱ区W51 A新诞生OB星的K波段光谱和J、H和KS波段的~ 0.8“角分辨率图像。有四颗天体在光谱学上被归类为O型星。四颗星的平均光谱视差给出的距离为2.0 \pm 0.3 kpc(平均误差),显着小于射电复合线运动学值5.5 kpc或从微波激射自行观测中得出的值(6- 8 kpc)。考虑到这里推导出的较小距离,所有大质量恒星贡献的莱曼连续谱光子数(NLyc ~ 1.5 x 10^{50} s^{-1})与从射电复合线推断的结果(NLyc = 1.3 x 10^{50} s^{-1})非常一致。我们目前的档案高角分辨率图像(NAOS CONICA在VLT和T-ReCS在双子座)的紧凑区域W51 IRS 2的分析。K_S波段图像分辨出红外源IRS~2,表明它是一个非常年轻的致密HII区。IRS 2 E被分解成3个天体的紧凑星团(投影距离660 AU内),但其中一个只是明亮的扩展发射。W51 d1和W51 d2分别被识别为3个物体的紧凑集群(在W51 d1的情况下可能是4个)。虽然IRS~ 2 E是K波段最亮的源,其亮度为12.6 \micron,但它与射电连续谱源的联系并不明显。IRS~ 2 E的光谱显示,与以前的工作相似,Br $γ$和HeI的发射很强,Fe Ⅲ的三条禁戒发射线和分子氢(H_2)的发射线表明它是一个大质量的年轻天体。

英文摘要:

We present K-band spectra of newly born OB stars in the obscured Galactic giant H II region W51A and ~ 0.8'' angular resolution images in the J, H and K_S-bands. Four objects have been spectroscopically classified as O-type stars. The mean spectroscopic parallax of the four stars gives a distance of 2.0 \pm 0.3 kpc (error in the mean), significantly smaller than the radio recombination line kinematic value of 5.5 kpc or the values derived from maser propermotion observations (6--8 kpc). The number of Lyman continuum photons from the contribution of all massive stars (NLyc ~ 1.5 x 10^{50} s^{-1}) is in good agreement with that inferred from radio recombination lines (NLyc = 1.3 x 10^{50} s^{-1}) after accounting for the smaller distance derived here. We present analysis of archival high angular resolution images (NAOS CONICA at VLT and T-ReCS at Gemini) of the compact region W51 IRS2. The K_S--band images resolve the infrared source IRS~2 indicating that it is a very young compact HII region. Sources IRS2E was resolved into compact cluster (within 660 AU of projected distance) of 3 objects, but one of them is just bright extended emission. W51d1 and W51d2 were identified with compact clusters of 3 objects (maybe 4 in the case of W51d1) each one. Although IRS~2E is the brightest source in the K-band and at 12.6 \micron, it is not clearly associated with a radio continuum source. Our spectrum of IRS~2E shows, similar to previous work, strong emission in Br$γ$ and HeI, as well as three forbidden emission lines of FeIII and emission lines of molecular hydrogen (H_2) marking it as a massive young stellar object.
