I类甲醇脉泽:带EGO的脉泽

Class I methanol masers: Masers with EGOs

Xi Chen, Simon Ellingsen, Zhi-Qiang Shen

摘要:

我们已经比较了一些已发表的I类甲醇脉泽调查的结果与GLIMPSE调查(称为扩展绿色物体或EGO)确定的高质量外流候选人的目录。我们发现I类甲醇脉泽与约三分之二的EGO。虽然流出和I类甲醇脉泽之间的关联长期以来一直假设的基础上的详细研究的一小部分来源,这一结果表明,第一次在统计的基础上的关系。尽管发表了一系列对I类甲醇脉泽的搜索,但仍然缺乏与另一个可能成为搜索目标的天体的密切物理联系。因此,I类甲醇脉泽和EGO之间的密切联系提供了一个大的候选源目录,其中大多数以前没有被搜索的I类甲醇脉泽。星际脉泽和外流都被提出来追踪大质量恒星形成的演化序列,因此更好地了解I类甲醇脉泽和外流之间的关系提供了这两个演化序列的比较和融合的潜力。

英文摘要:

We have compared the results of a number of published class I methanol maser surveys with the catalogue of high-mass outflow candidates identified from the GLIMPSE survey (known as extended green objects or EGOs). We find class I methanol masers associated with approximately two-thirds of EGOs. Although the association between outflows and class I methanol masers has long been postulated on the basis of detailed studies of a small number of sources, this result demonstrates the relationship for the first time on a statistical basis. Despite the publication of a number of searches for class I methanol masers, a close physical association with another astrophysical object which could be targeted for the search is still lacking. The close association between class I methanol masers and EGOs therefore provides a large catalogue of candidate sources, most of which have not previously been searched for class I methanol masers. Interstellar masers and outflows have both been proposed to trace an evolutionary sequence for high-mass star formation, therefore a better understanding of the relationship between class I methanol masers and outflow offers the potential for comparison and amalgamation of these two evolutionary sequences.
