摘要:

上下文脉泽辐射是研究大质量恒星形成区及其演化阶段的有力工具。OH脉泽尤其可以追踪原恒星周围的星周物质,并以毫弧秒的分辨率确定它们的磁场强度。目的。对高质量原恒星物体进行OH脉泽成像任务,以确定它们的演化阶段,并定位在高质量恒星形成过程中探测到的脉泽发射。方法. 2007年,我们对217个大质量原恒星天体进行了OH脉泽观测,研究了OH脉泽的存在。在本文中,我们提供了一个后续的MERLIN观测的基态OH脉泽发射对这些对象之一,IRAS 19092+0841。结果从两个OH主谱线,1665和1667兆赫,发射检测接近中心对象。确定了OH脉泽特征的位置和速度。脉泽分布在距离4.48 kpc的约500个区域,相当于22400 AU(或约0.1 pc)。OH脉泽特性的偏振特性也被确定。我们确定了三个塞曼对,从中我们推断出指向观察者的磁场强度约为4:4 mG。结论.相对较小的速度扩散和相对较宽的空间分布的OH脉泽功能支持的建议,这个对象可能是在磁盘和/或喷流/外流的存在之前的早期演化状态。

英文摘要:

Context. Maser emission is a strong tool for studying high mass star forming regions and their evolutionary stages. OH masers in particular can trace the circumstellar material around protostars and determine their magnetic field strengths at milliarcsecond resolution. Aims. Imaging OH maser mission towards high mass protostellar objects to determine their evolutionary stages and to locate the detected maser emission in the process of high mass star formation. Methods. In 2007, we surveyed OH maser towards 217 high mass protostellar objects to study its presence. In this paper, we present a follow up MERLIN observations of a ground state OH maser emission towards one of these objects, IRAS 19092+0841. Results. Emission from the two OH main spectral lines, 1665 and 1667 MHz, were detected close to the central object. The positions and velocities of the OH maser features have been determined. The masers are distributed over a region of ~ 500 corresponding to 22400 AU (or ~ 0.1 pc) at a distance of 4.48 kpc. The polarization properties of the OH maser features were determined as well. We identify three Zeeman pairs from which we inferred a magnetic field strength of ~ 4:4mG pointing towards the observer. Conclusions. The relatively small velocity spread and the relatively wide spacial distribution of the OH maser features support the suggestion that this object could be in an early evolutionary state before the presence of disk and/or jet/outfows.
