摘要:

我们寻找年轻恒星天体(YSO)和它们的母体分子云的性质之间的关系的证据,以了解高质量恒星形成的初始条件。从红外天文卫星(IRAS)点源目录中选择了135个源的样本,根据它们的红色,以提高发现年轻源的可能性。使用Kolner Observatorium fur Submmimeter Astronomie(KOSMA)3米望远镜,对整个样品进行了13 CO(2-1)的单点测量,并进一步绘制了14个源。档案中红外(MIR)数据进行了比较,13 CO排放量,以确定源的演变阶段。收集了一个13 CO观测样品,研究了云的13 CO谱线宽度与相关YSO光度之间的相关性。我们确定了98个适合恒星形成分析的源,并计算了相关参数。我们从14个映射的源中检测到18个核心,其中包括8个前UC HII区域和1个UC HII区域,2个早于前UC HII阶段的高质量核心,4个可能的恒星形成集群和3个无源核心。通过对360个观测源的~(13)CO观测资料的整理,发现云的~(13)CO谱线宽度与对应的YSO的辐射热光度之间有很好的相关性,可用幂律拟合:lg(dV ~(13)/km/s)=-0.023+0.135lg(Lbol/Lsolar)。结果表明,发光(> 10^3L太阳)的YSO往往与更大质量和更湍流(dV 13>2km/s)的分子云结构有关。

英文摘要:

We search for evidence of a relation between properties of young stellar objects (YSOs) and their parent molecular clouds to understand the initial conditions of high-mass star formation. A sample of 135 sources was selected from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) Point Source Catalog, on the basis of their red color to enhance the possibility of discovering young sources. Using the Kolner Observatorium fur SubMillimeter Astronomie (KOSMA) 3-m telescope, a single-point survey in 13CO(2-1) was carried out for the entire sample, and 14 sources were mapped further. Archival mid-infrared (MIR) data were compared with the 13CO emissions to identify evolutionary stages of the sources. A 13CO observed sample was assembled to investigate the correlation between 13CO line width of the clouds and the luminosity of the associated YSOs. We identified 98 sources suitable for star formation analyses for which relevant parameters were calculated. We detected 18 cores from 14 mapped sources, which were identified with eight pre-UC HII regions and one UC HII region, two high-mass cores earlier than pre-UC HII phase, four possible star forming clusters, and three sourceless cores. By compiling a large (360 sources) 13CO observed sample, a good correlation was found between the 13CO line width of the clouds and the bolometric luminosity of the associated YSOs, which can be fitted as a power law: lg(dV13/km/s)=-0.023+0.135lg(Lbol/Lsolar). Results show that luminous (>10^3Lsolar) YSOs tend to be associated with both more massive and more turbulent (dV13>2km/s) molecular cloud structures.
