摘要:

我们检查周围的普朗克探测的云结构与赫歇尔SPIRE仪器观察到的71个字段。我们希望确定该领域的一般物理特性,并检查那里的冷高柱密度团块被发现的云形态。我们得出的色温和柱密度图的字段。我们研究了主要团块的红外光谱能量分布。云是根据其大规模形态分类。在最近发布的WISE卫星数据的帮助下,我们寻找增强的中红外散射(coreshine)的迹象,这是尘埃颗粒生长的迹象,并检查与冷团块相关的恒星形成活动。绘制的云的距离从100秒差距到几千秒差距不等,覆盖了从小于10个太阳质量的核心到质量超过10000个太阳质量的云的大小和质量。大多数场包含一些丝状结构,并且在大约一半的情况下,一个或几个丝状结构占主导地位。在十分之一的情况下,云显示出彗星的形状或具有尖锐的边界,表明受到外力的压缩。长丝的宽度通常为约0.2-0.3pc。然而,从0.1pc到1 pc有显著的变化,估计值对所使用的方法和细丝的定义很敏感。增强中红外散射,coreshine,被发现在四个云与六个额外的试探性检测。云LDN 183包含在我们的样本中,仍然是这种现象的最佳例子。大约有一半的领域与活跃的恒星形成有关,如中红外点源的存在所示。中红外源通常与亚毫米光谱仍然由冷尘埃主导的结构相吻合。

英文摘要:

We examine the cloud structure around the Planck detections in 71 fields observed with the Herschel SPIRE instrument. We wish to determine the general physical characteristics of the fields and to examine the morphology of the clouds where the cold high column density clumps are found. We derive colour temperature and column density maps of the fields. We examine the infrared spectral energy distributions of the main clumps. The clouds are categorised according to their large scale morphology. With the help of recently released WISE satellite data, we look for signs of enhanced mid-infrared scattering (coreshine), an indication of growth of the dust grains, and examine the star formation activity associated with the cold clumps. The mapped clouds have distances ranging from ~100pc to several kiloparsecs and cover a range of sizes and masses from cores of less than 10 solar masses to clouds with masses in excess of 10000 solar mass. Most fields contain some filamentary structures and in about half of the cases a filament or a few filaments dominate the morphology. In one case out of ten, the clouds show a cometary shape or have sharp boundaries indicative of compression by an external force. The width of the filaments is typically ~0.2-0.3pc. However, there is significant variation from 0.1pc to 1pc and the estimates are sensitive to the methods used and the very definition of a filament. Enhanced mid-infrared scattering, coreshine, was detected in four clouds with six additional tentative detections. The cloud LDN183 is included in our sample and remains the best example of this phenomenon. About half of the fields are associated with active star formation as indicated by the presence of mid-infrared point sources. The mid-infrared sources often coincide with structures whose sub-millimetre spectra are still dominated by the cold dust.
