摘要:

甲醇脉泽通常呈线性分布,有人假设这些脉泽追踪年轻大质量恒星周围的星周吸积盘。然而,最近的观测表明,在H2排放似乎是在类似的角度流出的脉泽分布角,而不是垂直预期的脉泽盘的情况。这里提出的意见背后的主要动机是确定从一个独立的外流示踪剂,即SiO的存在和形态,如果确实有外流存在于这些地区,如果他们是一致的或不一致的脉泽盘假说。对于10个有H2排放的源,我们获得了JCMT单盘SiO(6-5)观测,以寻找这种外流指标的存在。我们对这些观测结果进行了跟踪,对六个源的(2-1)线上的SiO发射进行了ATCA干涉测绘。JCMT的观测在10个源中的9个中发现了SiO(6-5)线。所有具有明亮SiO线的源都显示出宽线翼,表明外流。用JCMT观测到的一部分源的甲醇脉泽速度明显偏离其母云速度,这支持了这些源中的脉泽可能与星周盘无关的观点。ATCA的SiO排放图显示,六个来源中有五个确实有SiO流出。流出的空间方向是不一致的甲醇脉泽描绘磁盘的方向。总的来说,这里提出的意见似乎提供了进一步的证据,对假设线性分布的甲醇脉泽一般跟踪大质量的年轻恒星周围的星周盘的方向。

英文摘要:

Methanol masers are often found in linear distributions, and it has been hypothesized that these masers are tracing circumstellar accretion disks around young massive stars. However, recent observations in H2 emission have shown what appear to be outflows at similar angles to the maser distribution angles, not perpendicular as expected in the maser-disk scenario. The main motivation behind the observations presented here is to determine from the presence and morphology of an independent outflow tracer, namely SiO, if there are indeed outflows present in these regions and if they are consistent or inconsistent with the maser-disk hypothesis. For ten sources with H2 emission we obtained JCMT single dish SiO (6-5) observations to search for the presence of this outflow indicator. We followed up those observations with ATCA interferometric mapping of the SiO emission in the (2-1) line in six sources. The JCMT observations yielded a detection in the SiO (6-5) line in nine of the ten sources. All of the sources with bright SiO lines display broad line wings indicative of outflow. A subset of the sources observed with the JCMT have methanol maser velocities significantly offset from their parent cloud velocities, supporting the idea that the masers in these sources are likely not associated with circumstellar disks. The ATCA maps of the SiO emission show five of the six sources do indeed have SiO outflows. The spatial orientations of the outflows are not consistent with the methanol masers delineating disk orientations. Overall, the observations presented here seem to provide further evidence against the hypothesis that linearly distributed methanol masers generally trace the orientations of circumstellar disks around massive young stars.
