摘要:

对高质量恒星形成区域的近红外成像调查揭示了恒星形成与环境之间惊人复杂的相互作用(Churchwell et al. 2006; Alvarez et al. 2004)。通过近红外光谱,嵌入的大质量年轻恒星可以被表征并放置在它们的诞生地的背景下。然而,到目前为止,光谱测量还非常不完整,阻碍了对这些非常年轻的大质量恒星的任何系统研究。在ESO可用的新的积分场仪器已经打开了可能性,通过获得目前可访问的恒星形成区域中最年轻的大质量恒星星族的完整光谱清单,向前迈出了一大步。同时,扩展发射的分析允许环境条件的表征。大质量恒星的形成和早期演化(FEMS)合作的目的是建立一个大型的观测活动,以获得一个完整的人口普查的恒星内容,电离物质,外流和PDR的样本区域,涵盖了一个大的参数空间。补充无线电、毫米波和红外观测将用于确定深埋人口的特征。对于前八个区域,我们获得了40小时的SINFONI观测。在这篇文章中,我们提出了三个地区的第一个结果,说明了这种战略的潜力。

英文摘要:

Near-infrared imaging surveys of high-mass star-forming regions reveal an amazingly complex interplay between star formation and the environment (Churchwell et al. 2006; Alvarez et al. 2004). By means of near-IR spectroscopy the embedded massive young stars can be characterized and placed in the context of their birth site. However, so far spectroscopic surveys have been hopelessly incomplete, hampering any systematic study of these very young massive stars. New integral field instrumentation available at ESO has opened the possibility to take a huge step forward by obtaining a full spectral inventory of the youngest massive stellar populations in star-forming regions currently accessible. Simultaneously, the analysis of the extended emission allows the characterization of the environmental conditions. The Formation and Early Evolution of Massive Stars (FEMS) collaboration aims at setting up a large observing campaign to obtain a full census of the stellar content, ionized material, outflows and PDR's over a sample of regions that covers a large parameter space. Complementary radio, mm and infrared observations will be used for the characterization of the deeply embedded population. For the first eight regions we have obtained 40 hours of SINFONI observations. In this contribution, we present the first results on three regions that illustrate the potential of this strategy.
