无星核有多无星?

How Starless Are Starless Cores?

Scott Schnee, James Di Francesco, Melissa Enoch, Rachel Friesen, Doug Johnstone, Sarah Sadavoy

摘要:

本文介绍了致密核Per-Bolo 45的CARMA连续谱和谱线观测结果。虽然这个核心以前被归类为无星,但我们发现了外流的证据,并得出结论,Per-Bolo 45实际上是一个嵌入式的低光度原恒星。我们讨论了新发现的,低光度,嵌入在英仙座分子云的无星核心和原恒星寿命的对象的影响。我们估计,无星核的寿命被高估了4-18%,0/I类原恒星的寿命被低估了5- 20%。考虑到这些计算中涉及的相对较大的系统不确定性,10%量级的变化不会显著改变核心寿命或预期的原恒星光度函数。最后,我们建议对缺乏近红外和中红外发射的已知核心进行高分辨率(亚)毫米测量,以便对无星核心进行准确的普查。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we present the results of CARMA continuum and spectral line observations of the dense core Per-Bolo 45. Although this core has previously been classified as starless, we find evidence for an outflow and conclude that Per-Bolo 45 is actually an embedded, low-luminosity protostar. We discuss the impact of newly discovered, low-luminosity, embedded objects in the Perseus molecular cloud on starless core and protostar lifetimes. We estimate that the starless core lifetime has been overestimated by 4-18% and the Class 0/I protostellar lifetime has been underestimated by 5-20%. Given the relatively large systematic uncertainties involved in these calculations, variations on the order of 10% do not significantly change either core lifetimes or the expected protostellar luminosity function. Finally, we suggest that high resolution (sub)millimeter surveys of known cores lacking near-infrared and mid-infrared emission are necessary to make an accurate census of starless cores.
