摘要:

利用射电天体测量VLBI探测(VERA)对仙王座A HW 3d天体进行了多历元甚长基线干涉(VLBI)水(H2O)脉泽观测。我们测量的第一次相对自行的H2O脉泽功能,其空间运动轨迹紧凑的双极流出。这种外流看起来高度准直,并以~ 21 km/s(~ 6 mas/yr)的平均速度扩展到~ 280 AU(400 mas),而不考虑湍流的中央脉泽团。流出道的开度角估计约为30{ \circ }。流出的动力学时间尺度估计为~ 100年。我们的研究结果提供了强有力的支持,HW 3d拥有一个内部的大质量年轻恒星,所观察到的外流可能是跟踪恒星形成的非常早期的阶段。我们还分析了甚大阵列(VLA)档案数据的1.3厘米连续发射在1995年和2006年获得的仙王座A。的HW 3d连续辐射的比较结果表明,存在不同的年轻恒星对象(YSO)在HW 3d和/或其无线电连续辐射组件之一的强烈变化的可能性。

英文摘要:

We present the results of multi-epoch very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) water (H2O) maser observations carried out with the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) toward the Cepheus A HW3d object. We measured for the first time relative proper motions of the H2O maser features, whose spatio-kinematics traces a compact bipolar outflow. This outflow looks highly collimated and expanding through ~ 280 AU (400 mas) at a mean velocity of ~ 21 km/s (~ 6 mas/yr) without taking into account the turbulent central maser cluster. The opening angle of the outflow is estimated to be ~ 30{\circ}. The dynamical time-scale of the outflow is estimated to be ~ 100 years. Our results provide strong support that HW3d harbors an internal massive young star, and the observed outflow could be tracing a very early phase of star formation. We also have analyzed Very Large Array (VLA) archive data of 1.3 cm continuum emission obtained in 1995 and 2006 toward Cepheus A. The comparative result of the HW3d continuum emission suggests the possibility of the existence of distinct young stellar objects (YSOs) in HW3d and/or strong variability in one of their radio continuum emission components.
