DR21(OH)射电连续谱和甲醇观测

Radio Continuum and Methanol Observations of DR21(OH)

摘要:

我们报告了用甚大天线阵在3.6、1.3和0.7厘米处获得的大质量恒星形成区DR 21(OH)的高灵敏度亚角秒角分辨率观测结果。此外,我们还对CH_3OH 44 GHz脉泽进行了观测。我们在DR 21(OH)区发现了30多个新的脉泽成分。大多数脉泽似乎是在双极外流中追踪一系列弓形激波。厘米连续观测揭示了一个射电源集群;最强的发射被发现朝向分子核心MM 1。MM 1中的射电源位于CH 3OH外流对称中心以北5”处,因此,它们不太可能与外流有关。相反,外流的驱动源可能位于MM 2核心。虽然是基于间接证据,但MM 1的射电连续谱似乎追踪了喷流中激波电离气体的自由辐射。MM 1中的喷流方向近似平行于CH 3OH流出方向,几乎垂直于连接DR 21和DR 21(OH)的大尺度分子丝。这表明与DR 21-DR 21(OH)区域的流出/喷流相关的(吸积)盘具有大部分垂直于暗条的对称轴。

英文摘要:

We report high sensitivity sub-arcsecond angular resolution observations of the massive star forming region DR21(OH) at 3.6, 1.3, and 0.7 cm obtained with the Very Large Array. In addition, we conducted observations of CH3OH 44 GHz masers. We detected more than 30 new maser components in the DR21(OH) region. Most of the masers appear to trace a sequence of bow-shocks in a bipolar outflow. The cm continuum observations reveal a cluster of radio sources; the strongest emission is found toward the molecular core MM1. The radio sources in MM1 are located about 5" north of the symmetry center of the CH3OH outflow, and therefore, they are unlikely to be associated with the outflow. Instead, the driving source of the outflow is likely located in the MM2 core. Although based on circumstantial evidence, the radio continuum from MM1 appears to trace free-free emission from shock-ionized gas in a jet. The orientation of the putative jet in MM1 is approximately parallel to the CH3OH outflow and almost perpendicular to the large scale molecular filament that connects DR21 and DR21(OH). This suggests that the (accretion) disks associated with the outflows/jets in the DR21 - DR21(OH) region have symmetry axes mostly perpendicular to the filament.
