摘要:

我们提出了第一个赫歇尔PACS和SPIRE结果船帆座C分子复合物在远红外和亚毫米制度在70,160,250,350,和500微米,跨越冷星前或原恒星核心的发射峰值。柱密度和多分辨率分析(MRA)区分船帆座C复杂成五个不同的子区域。每个次区域的柱密度和温度概率分布函数都有差异,特别是“中脊”和“南巢”次区域的概率分布函数形成鲜明对比。中央脊显示双峰温度PDF代表HII区域RCW 36周围的热气体和冷的邻近细丝,而南巢主要是冷的对流结构。中央脊的柱密度PDF比南巢平坦,具有高柱密度尾部,与通过大规模流动形成和自重调节一致。在小到中等规模的MRA表明,中央脊的浓度是南巢的两倍,而在更大的规模上,南巢中的气体的更大部分是由湍流比中央脊占主导地位。在船帆座C中,大质量恒星似乎优先形成在脊中,即,占优势的高柱密度细丝。

英文摘要:

We present the first Herschel PACS and SPIRE results of the Vela C molecular complex in the far-infrared and submillimetre regimes at 70, 160, 250, 350, and 500 um, spanning the peak of emission of cold prestellar or protostellar cores. Column density and multi-resolution analysis (MRA) differentiates the Vela C complex into five distinct sub-regions. Each sub-region displays differences in their column density and temperature probability distribution functions (PDFs), in particular, the PDFs of the `Centre-Ridge' and `South-Nest' sub-regions appear in stark contrast to each other. The Centre-Ridge displays a bimodal temperature PDF representative of hot gas surrounding the HII region RCW 36 and the cold neighbouring filaments, whilst the South-Nest is dominated by cold filamentary structure. The column density PDF of the Centre-Ridge is flatter than the South-Nest, with a high column density tail, consistent with formation through large-scale flows, and regulation by self-gravity. At small to intermediate scales MRA indicates the Centre-Ridge to be twice as concentrated as the South-Nest, whilst on larger scales, a greater portion of the gas in the South-Nest is dominated by turbulence than in the Centre-Ridge. In Vela C, high-mass stars appear to be preferentially forming in ridges, i.e., dominant high column density filaments.
