摘要:

我们试图更好地了解猎户座B 9恒星形成区域中深埋的0类原恒星SMM 3周围的气体分布和速度场。使用APEX 12-m望远镜,我们映射了猎户座B 9/SMM 3周围4' x 4'区域内两种CO同位素13 CO和C18 O的J=2-1旋转跃迁的线发射。~(13)CO和~(18)O谱线都表现出两个分离的速度分量,分别为1.3和8.7km/s。这两种CO同位素的排放分布比LABOCA探测的亚毫米尘埃连续排放更广泛。SMM 3的LABOCA 870微米峰位置没有强CO同位素体发射,这与我们早期在源中检测到的强CO耗尽一致。没有发现向SMM 3大规模外流的迹象。13 CO和C18 O的排放速度约为1.3 km/s,在地图的东部集中成一个单一的块状特征。在低速组分的C18 O最大值附近,H2柱密度峰值估计约为10^22 cm-2。在13 CO和C18 O图上都发现了速度梯度。有趣的是,SMM 3位于这个速度梯度的边界上。1.3 km/s的13 CO和C18 O排放可能来自猎户座B的“低速部分”。我们的分析表明,它含有高密度气体,这符合我们早期检测到的氘物质在同样低的径向速度。该区域中的急剧速度梯度可能代表来自附近扩展的HII区NGC 2024的反馈所产生的激波阵面。SMM 3的形成,可能还有猎户座B 9的其他成员,可能是由这种反馈触发的。

英文摘要:

We attempt to achieve a better understanding of the gas distribution and velocity field around the deeply embedded Class 0 protostar SMM 3 in the Orion B9 star-forming region. Using the APEX 12-m telescope, we mapped the line emission from the J=2-1 rotational transition of two CO isotopologues, 13CO and C18O, over a 4' x 4' region around Orion B9/SMM 3. Both the 13CO and C18O lines exhibit two well separated velocity components at about 1.3 and 8.7 km/s. The emission of both CO isotopologues is more widely distributed than the submillimetre dust continuum emission as probed by LABOCA. The LABOCA 870-micron peak position of SMM 3 is devoid of strong CO isotopologue emission, which is consistent with our earlier detection of strong CO depletion in the source. No signatures of a large-scale outflow were found towards SMM 3. The 13CO and C18O emission seen at ~1.3 km/s is concentrated into a single clump-like feature at the eastern part of the map. The peak H2 column density towards a C18O maximum of the low-velocity component is estimated to be ~10^22 cm-2. A velocity gradient was found across both the 13CO and C18O maps. Interestingly, SMM 3 lies on the border of this velocity gradient. The 13CO and C18O emission at ~1.3 km/s is likely to originate from the "low-velocity part" of Orion B. Our analysis suggests that it contains high density gas, which conforms to our earlier detection of deuterated species at similarly low radial velocities. The sharp velocity gradient in the region might represent a shock front resulting from the feedback from the nearby expanding HII region NGC 2024. The formation of SMM 3, and possibly of the other members of Orion B9, might have been triggered by this feedback.
