摘要:

我们使用7 mm波长的甚大阵列(VLA)对三种SiO同位素向Orion BN/KL的五个旋转跃迁(J=1-0)进行成像:28 SiO v= 0,1,2; 29 SiO和30 SiO v=0。我们首次绘制了29 SiO和30 SiO J=1-0发射图,确定了发射的脉泽性质,并证实了与深埋的大质量年轻恒星天体的关联,该天体通常被称为射电源I。28 SiOv =0脉泽发射显示出沿东北-西南轴延伸超过700 AU的双极结构,我们认为它追踪了由源I驱动的双极流出。高亮度的同位素SiO脉泽辐射的成像分辨率约为0.2角秒,其分布更紧凑,通常与28 SiO v= 1,2辐射的分布相似,它可能在以源I为中心的直径<100 AU的区域内追踪到大量气体流。然而,在小于10 AU的小尺度上,致密的29 SiO/30 SiO v=0和28 SiO v= 1,2发射特征可能在位置和视线速度上相互偏移。从基于大速度梯度(LVG)抽运模型的辐射转移分析中,我们得到了29 SiO/30 SiO v=0和28 SiO v= 1,2脉泽的最佳激发的相似温度和密度,明显高于28 SiO v=0脉泽激发的要求。为了解释同位素体(v=0)和主要物种(v= 1,2)之间的小尺度差异,可能需要后续的辐射转移建模,该建模在所有SiO同位素物种的跃迁之间包含非局部线重叠。

英文摘要:

We have used the Very Large Array (VLA) at 7 mm wavelength to image five rotational transitions (J=1-0) from three SiO isotopologues towards Orion BN/KL: 28SiO v=0,1,2; and 29SiO and 30SiO v=0. For the first time, we have mapped the 29SiO and 30SiO J=1-0 emission, established the maser nature of the emission, and confirmed association with the deeply embedded high-mass young stellar object commonly denoted radio Source I. The 28SiO v=0 maser emission shows a bipolar structure that extends over ~700 AU along a northeast-southwest axis, and we propose that it traces a bipolar outflow driven by Source I. The high-brightness isotopic SiO maser emission imaged with a ~0.2 arcsec resolution has a more compact distribution, generally similar to that of the 28SiO v=1,2 emission, and it probably traces bulk gas flows in a region of diameter <100 AU centered on Source I. On small scales of <10 AU, however, compact 29SiO/30SiO v=0 and 28SiO v=1,2 emission features may be offset from one another in position and line-of-sight velocity. From a radiative transfer analysis based on a large velocity gradient (LVG) pumping model, we derive similar temperatures and densities for the optimum excitation of both 29SiO/30SiO v=0 and 28SiO v=1,2 masers, significantly higher than required for 28SiO v=0 maser excitation. In order to account for the small-scale differences among the isotopologues (v=0) and the main species (v=1,2), follow-up radiative transfer modeling that incorporates non-local line overlap among transitions of all SiO isotopic species may be required.
