摘要:

红外暗云是在红外银河系背景下消失的大规模密集云。这些天体中的许多似乎处于恒星和星团形成团簇形成的边缘。我们的目标是了解IRDC在非常早期的进化阶段的物理特性。我们选择了在8μm处具有显著红外安静性的实验用IRDC G351.77 - 0.51。作为第一步,我们观察了毫米尘埃连续发射和旋转线的中等和致密的气体示踪剂,以掩盖不同的凝聚沿IRDC和研究的速度场的丝状体。我们的初步研究证实了沿红外暗云的相干速度分布,排除了任何巧合的投影效应。发现MIR消光、毫米波连续辐射和气体分布之间有很好的相关性,大尺度湍流和贯穿整个暗条的谱线轮廓表明在这片云中存在激波。线宽和MIR亮度之间的良好相关性表明湍流是由本地恒星形成驱动的。

英文摘要:

Infrared dark clouds are massive, dense clouds seen in extinction against the IR Galactic background. Many of these objects appear to be on the verge of star and star cluster formation. Our aim is to understand the physical properties of IRDCs in very early evolutionary phases. We selected the filamentary IRDC G351.77 - 0.51, which is remarkably IR quiet at 8μm. As a first step, we observed mm dust continuum emission and rotational lines of moderate and dense gas tracers to characterise different condensations along the IRDC and study the velocity field of the filament. Our initial study confirms coherent velocity distribution along the infrared dark cloud ruling out any coincidental projection effects. Excellent correlation between MIR extinction, mm continuum emission and gas distribution is found. Large-scale turbulence and line profiles throughout the filament is indicative of a shock in this cloud. Excellent correlation between line width, and MIR brightness indicates turbulence driven by local star formation.
