摘要:

我们提出了高角分辨率观测水脉泽在1.3厘米和无线电连续辐射在1.3,3.6和6厘米的博克球CB 54使用甚大阵列。在1.3厘米,与亚秒角分辨率,我们检测到一个无线电连续致密源位于西南的球状体和空间重合的中红外嵌入式对象(MIR-b)。在6和1.3 cm(α =0.3+/-0.4)之间导出的光谱指数是平坦的,与电离气体的光学薄自由-自由发射一致。我们提出的冲击电离方案作为一个可行的机制,以产生在厘米频率观测到的无线电连续辐射。水脉泽在两个相距2.3“的不同位置被探测到,并且在空间上与两个中红外源MIR-b和MIR-c重合。这些中红外源与水脉泽的关联证实了它们可能是经历质量损失的原恒星,并且它们是该地区分子外流的最佳驱动源。

英文摘要:

We present high angular resolution observations of water masers at 1.3 cm and radio continuum emission at 1.3, 3.6 and 6 cm towards the Bok globule CB 54 using the Very Large Array. At 1.3 cm, with subarsecond angular resolution, we detect a radio continuum compact source located to the south-west of the globule and spatially coincident with a mid-infrared embedded object (MIR-b). The spectral index derived between 6 and 1.3 cm (alpha=0.3+/-0.4) is flat, consistent with optically thin free-free emission from ionized gas. We propose the shock-ionization scenario as a viable mechanism to produce the radio continuum emission observed at cm frequencies. Water masers are detected at two different positions separated by 2.3'', and coincide spatially with two mid-infrared sources: MIR-b and MIR-c. The association of these mid-IR sources with water masers confirms that they are likely protostars undergoing mass-loss, and they are the best candidate as driving sources of the molecular outflows in the region.
