摘要:

天鹅座X复合体是由一个物理上相连的恒星形成区域组成,还是由多个独立的区域组成,这些区域在天空中紧密相连,这一问题已经争论了几十年。这种令人困惑的情况的主要原因是缺乏可靠的距离测量。我们的目标是通过精确的距离和自行测量来了解天鹅座X恒星形成区域的结构和动力学。为了测量三角波,我们用欧洲VLBI网和甚长基线阵观测了6.7GHz甲醇脉泽和22 GHz水脉泽。我们测量了五个大质量恒星形成区域朝向天鹅座X复合体的三角形轨道和自行,并报告了以下距离,精度在10%以内:W 75 N为1.30 ± 0.07 kpc,DR 20为1.46^{+0.09}_{-0.08} kpc,DR 21为1.50^{+0.08}_{-0.07} kpc,IRAS 20290 +4052为1.36^{+0.12}_{-0.11} kpc,AFGL 2591为3.33 ± 0.11kpc。虽然W 75 N、DR 20、DR 21和IRAS 20290+4052的距离与天鹅座X复合体的1.40+-0.08 kpc的单一距离一致,但AFGL 2591的距离比之前假设的要大得多。天鹅座X复合体中四个恒星形成区的空间速度并不表明有一个膨胀的斯特龙格伦球。

英文摘要:

Whether the Cygnus X complex consists of one physically connected region of star formation or of multiple independent regions projected close together on the sky has been debated for decades. The main reason for this puzzling scenario is the lack of trustworthy distance measurements. We aim to understand the structure and dynamics of the star-forming regions toward Cygnus X by accurate distance and proper motion measurements. To measure trigonometric parallaxes, we observed 6.7 GHz methanol and 22 GHz water masers with the European VLBI Network and the Very Long Baseline Array. We measured the trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions of five massive star-forming regions toward the Cygnus X complex and report the following distances within a 10% accuracy: 1.30+-0.07 kpc for W 75N, 1.46^{+0.09}_{-0.08} kpc for DR 20, 1.50^{+0.08}_{-0.07} kpc for DR 21, 1.36^{+0.12}_{-0.11} kpc for IRAS20290+4052, and 3.33+-0.11kpc for AFGL 2591. While the distances of W 75N, DR 20, DR 21, and IRAS 20290+4052 are consistent with a single distance of 1.40+-0.08 kpc for the Cygnus X complex, AFGL 2591 is located at a much greater distance than previously assumed. The space velocities of the four star-forming regions in the Cygnus X complex do not suggest an expanding Stroemgren sphere.
