摘要:

本文介绍了Spitzer-IRAC、NOAO 2.1meter-Flamingos、NIK-NIRC和FCRAO-SEQUOIA对大质量恒星形成复合体S254-S258的观测结果。使用IRAC和NIR数据的组合,我们确定和分类的年轻恒星对象(YSO)的复杂。我们检测到510个来源与近或中等IR过量,我们分类87 I类,和165 II类来源。在低密度分布的种群中,YSO被孤立的YSO包围成簇。聚集的YSO与总YSO的比率为0.8。我们确定了复杂的六个新的集群。其中一颗,G192.63 - 00,位于HII区的电离星S255周围。我们推测S255的电离星就是在这个星团中形成的。我们还检测到南部的组成部分的集群在HII区域S256。位于HII区S254内的星团G192.54 - 0.15相对于主云的VLSR为17 km/s,我们认为它位于复合体的背景中。使用12CO和13CO以及近红外消光图检查分子云的结构。分子云主体的VLSR在5 - 9 km/s之间。沿着HII区边界的分子云的弧形结构,以及HII区边界的高柱密度,支持了物质被HII区的扩张所席卷的想法。

英文摘要:

We present Spitzer-IRAC, NOAO 2.1meter-Flamingos, Keck-NIRC, and FCRAO-SEQUOIA observations of the massive star forming complex S254-S258, covering an area of 25x20 arc-minutes. Using a combination of the IRAC and NIR data, we identify and classify the young stellar objects (YSO) in the complex. We detect 510 sources with near or mid IR-excess, and we classify 87 Class I, and 165 Class II sources. The YSO are found in clusters surrounded by isolated YSO in a low-density distributed population. The ratio of clustered to total YSO is 0.8. We identify six new clusters in the complex. One of them, G192.63-00, is located around the ionizing star of the HII region S255. We hypothesize that the ionizing star of S255 was formed in this cluster. We also detect a southern component of the cluster in HII region S256. The cluster G192.54-0.15, located inside HII region S254 has a VLSR of 17 km/s with respect to the main cloud, and we conclude that it is located in the background of the complex. The structure of the molecular cloud is examined using 12CO and 13CO, as well as a near-IR extinction map. The main body of the molecular cloud has VLSR between 5 and 9 km/s. The arc-shaped structure of the molecular cloud, following the border of the HII regions, and the high column density in the border of the HII regions support the idea that the material has been swept up by the expansion of the HII regions.
