发光蓝变星G24周围的分子气体

摘要:

目的:我们研究了明亮的蓝色变星G24.73+0.69的分子环境,以探讨这颗大质量恒星周围两个红外壳层的起源,并确定其对周围星际介质的影响。方法:利用银河系环巡天中提取的13 CO J=1-0辐射,分析分子气体的分布。我们使用2 MASS和GLIMPSE的近红外和中红外数据来识别该领域的年轻恒星。结果:我们发现了在G24.73+0.69附近的外红外层的分子对应物。CO壳层可能主要在主序星相期间被恒星的恒星风吹走。我们还发现了对应于内红外层的分子气体,尽管它的起源仍然不确定。我们在分子物质上发现了七个年轻的恒星物体,它们的诞生可能是由明亮的蓝色变星的恒星风引发的。我们认为G24.73+0.69和附近超新星遗迹G24.7+0.6的前身都是由同一个诞生云形成的,代表了迄今为止未被发现的其他大质量恒星集群中最进化的成员。

英文摘要:

Aims: We study the molecular environment of the luminous blue variable star G24.73+0.69 to investigate the origin of the two infrared shells around this massive star and to determine its effects on the surrounding interstellar medium. Methods: We analyze the distribution of the molecular gas using the 13CO J=1-0 emission extracted from the Galactic Ring Survey. We use near- and mid-infrared data from 2MASS and GLIMPSE to identify the young stellar objects in the field. Results: We discover the molecular counterpart of the outer infrared shell around G24.73+0.69. The CO shell was probably blown by the stellar wind of the star mainly during its main sequence phase. We also find molecular gas that corresponds to the inner infrared shell, although its origin remains uncertain. We find seven young stellar objects upon the molecular material, whose birth might have been triggered by the stellar wind of the luminous blue variable star. We suggest that both G24.73+0.69 and the progenitor of the nearby supernova remnant G24.7+0.6 were formed from the same natal cloud and represent the most evolved members of a so far undetected cluster of other massive stars.
