摘要:

本研究的目的是研究行星状星云在其演化的最早阶段的分子包层的物理性质。我们利用Effelsberg的100米望远镜对OH脉泽发射的第一激发态进行了高灵敏度的分立源测量(J=5/2,2 PI 3/2,6 GHz)在行星状星云和原行星状星云方向上的18 cm OH辐射(干线和/或卫星线路),并利用1.6-1.7GHz的Nançay射电望远镜和1.6-1.7和6 GHz的MERLIN干涉仪进一步验证了我们的探测结果。在6035 MHz(5厘米)的频率上探测到两个源,它们都是年轻(或非常年轻)的行星状星云。第一个是在Vy 2-2中检测到弱6035 MHz线的确认。第二个是在K 3-35中发现的新恒星,它是一颗特殊的晚型恒星,因为它的OH辐射为1720 MHz。用MERLIN干涉仪进行的后续观测证实了6035 MHz OH脉泽辐射的探测。这些线条在演化的恒星中非常罕见。1612兆赫脉泽环绕着1720和6035兆赫脉泽,但与它们有一定的距离,而1720和6035兆赫脉泽又靠近一个嵌入光学星云中的紧凑的22 GHz连续谱源。

英文摘要:

The aim of this study is to investigate the physical properties of molecular envelopes of planetary nebulae in their earliest stages of evolution. Using the 100m telescope at Effelsberg, we have undertaken a high sensitivity discrete source survey for the first excited state of OH maser emission (J=5/2, 2PI3/2 at 6GHz) in the direction of planetary and proto-planetary nebulae exhibiting 18cm OH emission (main and/or satellite lines), and we further validate our detections using the Nançay radio telescope at 1.6-1.7GHz and MERLIN interferometer at 1.6-1.7 and 6GHz. Two sources have been detected at 6035MHz (5cm), both of them are young (or very young) planetary nebulae. The first one is a confirmation of the detection of a weak 6035MHz line in Vy 2-2. The second one is a new detection, in K 3-35, which was already known to be an exceptional late type star because it exhibits 1720MHz OH emission. The detection of 6035MHz OH maser emission is confirmed by subsequent observations made with the MERLIN interferometer. These lines are very rarely found in evolved stars. The 1612MHz masers surround but are offset from the 1720 and 6035MHz masers which in turn lie close to a compact 22GHz continuum source embedded in the optical nebula.
