猎户座热核CO J=7-6的高速外流

High Velocity Outflow in CO J=7-6 from the Orion Hot Core

Ray S. Furuya, Hiroko Shinnaga

摘要:

使用加州理工学院亚毫米波天文台10.4米望远镜,我们进行了敏感的映射观测12 CO J=7-6发射在807 GHz的猎户座IRc 2。该图像的角分辨率为10”,这是针对猎户座热核心发布的最高角分辨率数据。此外,由于采用了动态映射技术,新图像的保真度相当高,特别是与以前的图像相比。我们已经成功地绘制了西北-东南方向的高速分子外流,其终极速度相对于云的系统速度移动了约70-85 km/s。这产生了一个非常短的动力学时间尺度~900年。流出质量损失率的估计值非常高,约为10^{-3} Msun/yr。假设外流是由猎户座IRc 2驱动的,我们的结果与迄今为止获得的20 Msun(原)恒星形成过程中的图片一致。

英文摘要:

Using the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory 10.4-meter telescope, we performed sensitive mapping observations of 12CO J=7-6 emission at 807 GHz towards Orion IRc2. The image has an angular resolution of 10", which is the highest angular resolution data toward the Orion Hot Core published for this transition. In addition, thanks to the on-the-fly mapping technique, the fidelity of the new image is rather high, particularly in comparison to previous images. We have succeeded in mapping the northwest-southeast high-velocity molecular outflow, whose terminal velocity is shifted by ~70-85 km/s with respect to the systemic velocity of the cloud. This yields an extremely short dynamical time scale of ~900 years. The estimated outflow mass loss rate shows an extraordinarily high value, on the order of 10^{-3} Msun/yr. Assuming that the outflow is driven by Orion IRc2, our result agrees with the picture so far obtained for a 20 Msun (proto)star in the process of formation.
