摘要:

在近红外窄带图像中发现了来自低质量YSO CB 230-A的喷流。我们的目标是调查的物理性质的区域从那里的喷气发动机。我们的分析进行了使用低分辨率近红外光谱获得的相机NICS在TNG望远镜,与JH和HK grisms和1 arcsec宽的狭缝。这些观测数据得到了斯皮策空间望远镜档案的红外测光数据的补充。CB 230-A的相关物理性质受到来自NIR到mm的通量的SED拟合的约束。YSO光谱表现出大量的原子和分子发射和吸收特征。这一光谱的特征表明,我们正在观察CB 230-A附近的一个区域,即。e.它的光球层和/或活跃的吸积盘。在射流的节的光谱包含大量的发射线,包括一组丰富的[FeII]线。排放由于H2和[Fe II]没有空间相关性,确认[Fe II]和H2是由不同的机制激发的,与[Fe II]跟踪解离J-冲击和分子氢跟踪较慢的C-冲击的模型一致。通过使用包含密度敏感[Fe II]线的强度比,我们估算了喷流中的电子密度(6 × 10^3 - 1 × 10^4 cm^-3)。这表明,要么是高密度的电离气体冲击后区域或区域的高度电离。通过将目前的数据与以前获得的近红外和毫米波长的地图相结合,新出现的情况是,CB 230-A是一个0/I类YSO,驱动着一个原子喷流,被观察到几乎是单极的,可能是由于它倾斜于天空平面,导致其红色一侧的消光更高。这个喷流看起来有足够的能量来驱动在毫米波中观察到的分子外流。

英文摘要:

A jet from the low-mass YSO CB230-A had been discovered in NIR narrow-band images. We aim to investigate the physical properties of the region from where the jet is launched. Our analysis was carried out using low-resolution NIR spectra acquired with the camera NICS at the TNG telescope, with JH and HK grisms and a 1 arcsec-wide slit. These observational data were complemented with infrared photometric data from the Spitzer space telescope archive. The relevant physical properties of CB230-A were constrained by SED fitting of fluxes from the NIR to the mm. The YSO spectrum exhibits a significant number of atomic and molecular emission and absorption features. The characteristics of this spectrum suggest that we are observing a region in the close vicinity of CB230-A, i. e. its photosphere and/or an active accretion disk. The spectra of the knots in the jet contain a large number of emission lines, including a rich set of [FeII] lines. Emission due to H2 and [FeII] are not spatially correlated, confirming that [FeII] and H2 are excited by different mechanisms, in agreement with the models where [FeII] traces dissociative J-shocks and molecular hydrogen traces slower C-shocks. By using intensity ratios involving density-sensitive [FeII] lines, we estimated the electron densities in the jet (6x10^3-1x10^4 cm^-3). This indicates either high density post-shock regions of ionised gas or regions with a high degree of ionisation. By combining the present data with previously obtained maps at NIR- and mm-wavelengths, the emerging scenario is that CB230-A is a Class 0/I YSO driving an atomic jet that is observed to be almost monopolar probably due to its inclination to the plane of the sky and the resulting higher extinction of its red side. This jet appears energetic enough to drive the molecular outflow observed in the mm.
