摘要:

本文介绍了在NGC 1333恒星形成区用两个月时间分四个历元对IRAS 4A和IRAS 4 B水脉泽进行VLBI观测的结果。这两个天体都被归类为非常年轻的源,每个源都是一个多源系统。使用甚长基线阵列,我们在第一纪元探测到35个脉泽,第二纪元探测到40个脉泽,第三纪元探测到35个脉泽,第四纪元探测到24个脉泽。在每个系统中只有一个已识别的源与这些脉泽有关。这些数据被用来计算脉泽的自行,并追踪IRAS 4A 2和IRAS 4 BW 100 AU范围内的喷流。在IRAS 4A 2中,有两组脉泽,一组接近系统云速度,另一组红移。它们以53 km/s的速度线性膨胀。在IRAS 4 BW中,观察到两组相对于云速度蓝移和红移的脉泽。它们形成复杂的线性结构,厚度为3质量(1 AU,距离为320 pc),以78 km/s的速度线性膨胀。脉泽群追踪到的喷流都与大尺度喷流不一致。我们认为IRAS 4A 2和4 BW都存在未解决的同伴。

英文摘要:

We present results of VLBI observations of the water masers associated with IRAS 4A and IRAS 4B in the NGC 1333 star-forming region taken in four epochs over a two month period. Both objects have been classified as extremely young sources and each source is known to be a multiple system. Using the Very Long Baseline Array, we detected 35 masers in Epoch I, 40 masers in Epoch II, 35 in Epoch III, and 24 in Epoch IV. Only one identified source in each system associates with these masers. These data are used to calculate proper motions for the masers and trace the jet outflows within 100 AU of IRAS 4A2 and IRAS 4BW. In IRAS 4A2 there are two groups of masers, one near the systemic cloud velocity and one red-shifted. They expand linearly away from each other at velocities of 53 km/s. In IRAS 4BW, masers are observed in two groups that are blue-shifted and red-shifted relative to the cloud velocity. They form complex linear structures with a thickness of 3 mas (1 AU at a distance of 320 pc) that expand linearly away from each other at velocities of 78 km/s. Neither of the jet outflows traced by the maser groups align with the larger scale outflows. We suggest the presence of unresolved companions to both IRAS 4A2 and 4BW.
