摘要:

我们目前的MERLIN观测OH,水和甲醇脉泽对年轻的大质量恒星对象IRAS 20126+4104。探测到1665 MHz OH、22 GHz H_2O和6.7GHz CH_3OH脉泽的辐射,它们都起源于非常靠近中心源的地方。OH和甲醇脉泽似乎跟踪中央源周围的星周盘的一部分。OH和甲醇脉泽的位置和速度与开普勒绕~ 5 Msun中心质量的旋转一致。水脉泽是从OH和甲醇脉泽偏移,并已显着改变,因为他们最后一次被观察到,但似乎仍然与流出的来源。所有的OH脉泽组件都是圆偏振的,在某些情况下达到100%,而一些OH组件也具有线性偏振。我们确定了一对OH脉泽,这对脉泽的分裂表明在中心源的0.5”(850 AU)范围内存在一个强度约为11 mG的磁场。OH和甲醇脉泽的发射表明,盘状物质是致密的,n > 10^6 cm^-3,温度> 125 K,并且脉泽发射所需的高丰度甲醇与盘状物质受热或受到冲击导致的盘状物质上尘埃颗粒上地幔的蒸发相一致

英文摘要:

We present MERLIN observations of OH, water and methanol masers towards the young high mass stellar object IRAS 20126+4104. Emission from the 1665-MHz OH, 22-GHz H_2O and 6.7-GHz CH_3OH masers is detected and all originates very close to the central source. The OH and methanol masers appear to trace part of the circumstellar disk around the central source. The positions and velocities of the OH and methanol masers are consistent with Keplerian rotation around a central mass of ~ 5 Msun. The water masers are offset from the OH and methanol masers and have significantly changed since they were last observed, but still appear to be associated to the outflow from the source. All the OH masers components are circularly polarised, in some cases reaching 100 percent while some OH components also have linear polarisation. We identify one Zeeman pair of OH masers and the splitting of this pair indicates a magnetic field of strength ~ 11 mG within ~ 0.5" (850 AU) of the central source. The OH and methanol maser emission suggest that the disk material is dense, n > 10^6 cm^-3, and warm, T > 125 K and the high abundance of methanol required by the maser emission is consistent with the evaporation of the mantles on dust grains in the disk as a result of heating or shocking of the disk material
