摘要:

我们的目标是以高角分辨率研究与低光度IRAS源IRAS 00213+6530相关的致密核心,以调查低质量恒星的形成是否真的孤立地发生。我们用IRAM 30米望远镜进行了1.2毫米波段的观测,用VLA 6cm、3.6cm、1.3cm、7 mm波段的观测,用H_2O脉泽和NH_3谱线进行了观测,用NASA 70米天线在CCS和H_2O脉泽中进行了观测。厘米和毫米的连续发射,以及来自2 MASS的近红外数据,使我们能够识别3个YSO,IRS 1,VLA 8A和VLA 8B,具有不同的无线电和红外特性,似乎处于不同的演化阶段。NH3排放由三个云组成。其中两个,MM 1和MM 2,与尘埃排放有关,而南部的云只在NH3中检测到。YSO嵌入在MM 1中,在那里我们发现了谱线展宽和温度增强的证据。另一方面,南部的云和MM 2看起来是静止的,没有恒星。我们对MM 1的1.2mm处的径向强度分布进行了建模。该模型相当好地拟合了数据,但它低估了距离1.2 mm峰值的小投影距离处的强度,这可能是由于包层中嵌入了多个YSO。NH3的相对丰度存在差异,MM 1的相对丰度值较低,约为2 × 10 ^-8,而南部云和MM 2的相对丰度值较高,可达10^-6,这表明这些云可能处于一个年轻的演化阶段。IRAS 00213+6530拥有一个由低质量原恒星组成的多重系统,这表明该星云中的恒星形成是成群而不是孤立地发生的。在IRAS 00213+6530中发现的低质量YSO处于不同的演化阶段,表明恒星形成发生在不同的事件中。

英文摘要:

We aim at studying with high angular resolution a dense core associated with a low-luminosity IRAS source, IRAS 00213+6530, in order to investigate whether low mass star formation is really taking place in isolation. We performed observations at 1.2mm with the IRAM 30m telescope, VLA observations at 6cm, 3.6cm, 1.3cm, 7mm, and H2O maser and NH3 lines, and observations with the NASA 70m antenna in CCS and H2O maser. The cm and mm continuum emission, together with the near infrared data from the 2MASS allowed us to identify 3 YSOs, IRS1, VLA8A, and VLA8B, with different radio and infrared properties, and which seem to be in different evolutionary stages. The NH3 emission consists of three clouds. Two of these, MM1 and MM2, are associated with dust emission, while the southern cloud is only detected in NH3. The YSOs are embedded in MM1, where we found evidence of line broadening and temperature enhancements. On the other hand, the southern cloud and MM2 appear to be quiescent and starless. We modeled the radial intensity profile at 1.2mm of MM1. The model fits reasonably well the data, but it underestimates the intensity at small projected distances from the 1.2mm peak, probably due to the presence of multiple YSOs embedded in the envelope. There is a differentiation in the relative NH3 abundance with low values, ~2x10^-8, toward MM1, and high values, up to 10^-6, toward the southern cloud and MM2, suggesting that these clouds could be in a young evolutionary stage. IRAS 00213+6530 is harboring a multiple system of low-mass protostars, indicating that star formation in this cloud is taking place in groups, rather than in isolation. The low-mass YSOs found in IRAS 00213+6530 are in different evolutionary stages suggesting that star formation is taking place in different episodes.
