摘要:

内容:红色MSX源(RMS)巡天是对银道面中候选大质量年轻恒星天体(MYSO)的颜色选择样本进行后续观测的多波长活动。这项调查是迄今为止最大的精心挑选的MYSO样本,同时确定了具有类似中红外颜色的其他尘埃污染物来源,包括大量新的超紧凑(UC)HII区域。目的:测量MYSO和UCHII区域光谱能量分布(SED)峰值附近的远红外(IR)通量,以便与距离信息一起获得这些源的光度。方法:不到50%的RMS源与60微米和100微米检测的IRAS点源相关,但绝大多数在Spitzer MIPSGAL或IRAS Galaxy Atlas(IGA)图像中可见。然而,标准孔径测光是不适合这些数据,由于拥挤的来源和强大的空间可变远红外背景辐射在银道面。因此,一种新的技术,使用一个2维的适合在每个源周围的环的背景,以获得远红外测光年轻RMS源。结果:获得了1113 RMS候选人确定为年轻源的远红外通量。其中734个使用IGA 60微米和100微米图像进行通量测量,724个使用MIPSGAL 70微米图像进行通量测量,其中345个在两个数据集中进行测量。

英文摘要:

Context: The Red MSX Source (RMS) survey is a multi-wavelength campaign of follow-up observations of a colour-selected sample of candidate massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) in the galactic plane. This survey is returning the largest well-selected sample of MYSOs to date, while identifying other dust contaminant sources with similar mid-infrared colours including a large number of new ultra-compact (UC)HII regions. Aims:To measure the far-infrared (IR) flux, which lies near the peak of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of MYSOs and UCHII regions, so that, together with distance information, the luminosity of these sources can be obtained. Methods:Less than 50% of RMS sources are associated with IRAS point sources with detections at 60 micron and 100 micron, though the vast majority are visible in Spitzer MIPSGAL or IRAS Galaxy Atlas (IGA) images. However, standard aperture photometry is not appropriate for these data due to crowding of sources and strong spatially variable far-IR background emission in the galactic plane. A new technique using a 2-dimensional fit to the background in an annulus around each source is therefore used to obtain far-IR photometry for young RMS sources. Results:Far-IR fluxes are obtained for a total of 1113 RMS candidates identified as young sources. Of these 734 have flux measurements using IGA 60 micron and 100 micron images and 724 using MIPSGAL 70 micron images, with 345 having measurements in both data sets.
