摘要:

为了了解分子云致密团块中星团的形成和演化,我们用Nobeyama 45 m望远镜对14个嵌入星团的C^18O(J=1-0)谱线进行了观测。我们选择了距离为0.3至2.1kpc的这些簇,并为所有具有22”分辨率(对应于2.1kpc处的牛仔裤长度)的簇绘制了约6' X 6'至10' X 10'区域(对应于2.1kpc处的3.8pc X 3.8pc)。我们得到了半径为0.40- 1.6 pc、质量为150- 4600太阳质量、速度宽度为1.4- 3.3 km ^-1的致密团块。发现大多数团簇近似处于维里平衡,这意味着C^18 O气体代表了团簇形成的母体致密团簇。根据团簇与团簇的空间分布关系,我们将C^18O团簇分为A、B、C三种类型。A型C^18 O团簇的发射分布在星团处为单峰,亮度对比度高于其他靶源。B型团簇有双峰或三峰,这与团簇和中等高亮度对比度结构有关。C型团块也有多个峰,尽管它们与团簇和低亮度对比度结构无关。我们认为,我们的分类代表了集群形成致密团块的演化趋势,因为分子云中的致密气体预计将转化为恒星成分,或被恒星活动分散。此外,虽然有一个分散,我们发现了一个趋势,SFE的密集团块增加,从A型到C型,这也支持我们的情况。

英文摘要:

We have carried out a survey of the dense clumps associated with 14 embedded clusters in the C^18O (J=1-0) line emission with the Nobeyama 45m telescope in order to understand the formation and evolution of stellar clusters in dense clumps of molecular clouds. We have selected these clusters at distances from 0.3 to 2.1kpc and have mapped about 6' X 6' to 10' X 10'regions (corresponding to 3.8pc X 3.8pc at 2.1kpc) for all the clumps with 22" resolution (corresponding to Jeans length at 2.1kpc). We have obtained dense clumps with radii of 0.40-1.6pc, masses of 150-4600M_sun, and velocity widths in FWHM of 1.4-3.3kms^-1. Most of the clumps are found to be approximately in virial equilibrium, which implies that C^18O gas represents parental dense clumps for cluster formation. From the spatial relation between the distributions of clumps and clusters, we classified C^18O clumps into three types (Type A, B, and C). The C^18O clumps as classified into Type A have emission distributions with a single peak at the stellar clusters and higher brightness contrast than that of other target sources. Type B clumps have double or triple peaks which are associated with the cluster and moderately high brightness contrast structure. Type C clumps have also multiple peaks although they are not associated with the cluster and low brightness contrast structure. We suggest that our classification represents an evolutionary trend of cluster-forming dense clumps because dense gas in molecular clouds is expected to be converted into stellar constituents, or to be dispersed by stellar activities. Moreover, although there is a scatter, we found a tendency that the SFEs of the dense clumps increase from Type A to Type C, which also supports our scenario.
