摘要:

本文介绍了一个红外暗云(IRDC)G28.34+0.06的亚毫米波阵(SMA)λ= 0.88mm观测结果。位于G28.34云的静止南部,感兴趣的区域是一个巨大的($>10^3$ \,\msun)分子团P1,光度为$\sim 10^3$ \lsun,我们以前在1.3 mm的SMA观测显示了沿着1 pc红外暗丝的五个22-64 \msun \的尘埃核心串。岩心以48度的位置角对齐,并以0.16 pc的平均投影间隔规则地间隔开。新的高分辨率、高灵敏度的0.88mm图像进一步将五个核心分解为十个1.4-10.6 \msun的紧凑浓缩体,大小为数千AU。在丛($\sim 1$ pc)和核心($\sim 0.1$ pc)尺度的空间结构表明层次破碎。虽然团块碎裂与圆柱形塌陷一致,但观察到的碎片质量比预期的热金斯质量大得多。所有的核心驱动CO(3-2)流出高达38公里/秒,其中大部分是双极,喷流样流出。P1星团的中等亮度限制了原恒星的质量为3-7 \msun。由于直接介质中大量的致密分子气体和正在进行的吸积(如喷流所示),我们推测P1将成长并最终形成一个大质量的星团。这项研究提供了一个大规模的,集群的恒星形成,目前正在经历一个中等质量的阶段第一次一瞥。

英文摘要:

We present Submillimeter Array (SMA) λ= 0.88mm observations of an infrared dark cloud (IRDC) G28.34+0.06. Located in the quiescent southern part of the G28.34 cloud, the region of interest is a massive ($>10^3$\,\msun) molecular clump P1 with a luminosity of $\sim 10^3$ \lsun, where our previous SMA observations at 1.3mm have revealed a string of five dust cores of 22-64 \msun\ along the 1 pc IR-dark filament. The cores are well aligned at a position angle of 48 degrees and regularly spaced at an average projected separation of 0.16 pc. The new high-resolution, high-sensitivity 0.88\,mm image further resolves the five cores into ten compact condensations of 1.4-10.6 \msun, with sizes a few thousands AU. The spatial structure at clump ($\sim 1$ pc) and core ($\sim 0.1$ pc) scales indicates a hierarchical fragmentation. While the clump fragmentation is consistent with a cylindrical collapse, the observed fragment masses are much larger than the expected thermal Jeans masses. All the cores are driving CO(3-2) outflows up to 38 km/s, majority of which are bipolar, jet-like outflows. The moderate luminosity of the P1 clump sets a limit on the mass of protostars of 3-7 \msun. Because of the large reservoir of dense molecular gas in the immediate medium and ongoing accretion as evident by the jet-like outflows, we speculate that P1 will grow and eventually form a massive star cluster. This study provides a first glimpse of massive, clustered star formation that currently undergoes through an intermediate-mass stage.
