摘要:

本文主要研究高质量恒星形成区G23.01-0.41。研究方法:利用VLBA和EVN阵列,我们对G23.01-0.41中最强的三种脉泽物质进行了相位参考观测:22.2GHz的H_2O(4个历元)、6.7GHz的CH_3OH(3个历元)和1.665GHz的OH(1个历元)。此外,我们进行了高分辨率(> 0.1),高灵敏度(< 0.1 mJ y)的VLA观测的无线电连续辐射从HMC在1.3和3.6厘米。结果如下:我们已经检测到H_2O,CH_3OH和OH脉泽发射聚集在2000 AU从一个扁平的HMC,面向SE-NW,从出现了大量的12 CO流出,延长NE-SW,延伸到pc尺度的中心。虽然这三种脉泽物质显示出明显不同的空间和速度分布,并在大质量的YSO周围采样不同的环境,每个脉泽物质的空间对称性和速度场可以解释为从一个共同的中心,这可能表示驱动脉泽运动的YSO的位置膨胀。水脉泽跟踪快速冲击(高达50公里/秒)更接近YSO,由广角风驱动,和一个较慢的(20公里/秒)双极射流,在大规模流出的基础。由于紧凑的自由-自由发射被发现偏离YSO的假定位置,沿着与微波激射喷流轴一致的方向,我们解释了热喷流的无线电连续谱。甲醇脉泽的速度场可以解释为一个缓慢的径向膨胀和旋转的轴近似平行于脉泽喷流的组合物(4公里/秒的振幅)运动。最后,氢氧脉泽的视线速度分布表明,与水和甲醇脉泽相比,氢氧脉泽可以追踪密度较小(n(H2)< 10^6 cm^-3)且距离YSO更远的气体,后者正向观测者扩展。(节录)

英文摘要:

The present paper focuses on the high-mass star-forming region G23.01-0.41. Methods: Using the VLBA and the EVN arrays, we conducted phase-referenced observations of the three most powerful maser species in G23.01-0.41: H2O at 22.2 GHz (4 epochs), CH3OH at 6.7 GHz (3 epochs), and OH at 1.665 GHz (1 epoch). In addition, we performed high-resolution (> 0".1), high-sensitivity (< 0.1 mJy) VLA observations of the radio continuum emission from the HMC at 1.3 and 3.6 cm. Results: We have detected H2O, CH3OH, and OH maser emission clustered within 2000 AU from the center of a flattened HMC, oriented SE-NW, from which emerges a massive 12CO outflow, elongated NE-SW, extended up to the pc-scale. Although the three maser species show a clearly different spatial and velocity distribution and sample distinct environments around the massive YSO, the spatial symmetry and velocity field of each maser specie can be explained in terms of expansion from a common center, which possibly denotes the position of the YSO driving the maser motion. Water masers trace both a fast shock (up to 50 km/s) closer to the YSO, powered by a wide-angle wind, and a slower (20 km/s) bipolar jet, at the base of the large-scale outflow. Since the compact free-free emission is found offset from the putative location of the YSO along a direction consistent with that of the maser jet axis, we interpret the radio continuum in terms of a thermal jet. The velocity field of methanol masers can be explained in terms of a composition of slow (4 km/s in amplitude) motions of radial expansion and rotation about an axis approximately parallel to the maser jet. Finally, the distribution of line of sight velocities of the hydroxyl masers suggests that they can trace gas less dense (n(H2) < 10^6 cm^-3) and more distant from the YSO than that traced by the water and methanol masers, which is expanding toward the observer.
