VLBA测定到邻近恒星形成区的距离

VLBA determinations of the distances to nearby star-forming regions

摘要:

利用相位参考多历元甚长基线阵列观测,我们以前所未有的精度测量了金牛座和蛇夫座恒星形成区域中几颗年轻恒星的三角视差。到金牛座复合体的平均距离约为140 pc,其深度约为20 pc,与金牛座在天空平面上的线性范围相当。在蛇夫座中,到目前为止观察到4个来源。其中两个被发现在大约160 pc(传统上归因于蛇夫座的距离),而其他两个在大约120 pc。由于整个蛇夫座复合体只有几个秒差距,这种差异不太可能反映该地区的深度。相反,我们认为,两个物理上不相关的恒星形成地点位于蛇夫座的视线沿线。

英文摘要:

Using phase-referenced multi-epoch Very Long Baseline Array observations, we have measured the trigonometric parallax of several young stars in the Taurus and Ophiuchus star-forming regions with unprecedented accuracy. The mean distance to the Taurus complex was found to be about 140 pc, and its depth around 20 pc, comparable to the linear extent of Taurus on the plane of the sky. In Ophiuchus, 4 sources were observed so far. Two of them were found to be at about 160 pc (the distance traditionally attributed to Ophiuchus), while the other 2 are at about 120 pc. Since the entire Ophiuchus complex is only a few parsecs across, this difference is unlikely to reflect the depth of the region. Instead, we argue that two physically unrelated sites of star-formation are located along the line of sight toward Ophiuchus.
