在银河系的第一象限中没有无星的大质量原星团

There are no starless massive proto-clusters in the first quadrant of the Galaxy

摘要:

我们在λ = 1.1 mm的Bolocam银道巡天中寻找质量足以形成~10^4 M \odot星团的团块。18个候选的大质量原星系团被确定在银河系的第一象限以外的中央千秒差距。此示例包含质量M(clump)> 10^4 M_sun且半径r < 2.5 pc的团块。银河系大质量团簇形成的总速率为CFR(M_cluster > 10^4)~ 500万年^-1,这与从银河系疏散星团和M31大质量团簇中推断出的速率一致。我们发现,第一象限中的大质量原星团都在积极地形成大质量恒星,并将大质量团簇形成的无恒星阶段的寿命上限设为t_starless <0.5Myr。如果大质量星系团经历了一个无星阶段,所有的质量都集中在一个星系团中,这个阶段的寿命非常短。

英文摘要:

We search the lambda = 1.1 mm Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey for clumps containing sufficient mass to form ~10^4 M\odot star clusters. 18 candidate massive proto-clusters are identified in the first Galactic quadrant outside of the central kiloparsec. This sample is complete to clumps with mass M(clump) > 10^4 M_sun and radius r < 2.5 pc. The overall Galactic massive cluster formation rate is CFR(M_cluster > 10^4) ~ 5 Myr^-1, which is in agreement with the rates inferred from Galactic open clusters and M31 massive clusters. We find that all massive proto-clusters in the first quadrant are actively forming massive stars and place an upper limit of t_starless < 0.5 Myr on the lifetime of the starless phase of massive cluster formation. If massive clusters go through a starless phase with all of their mass in a single clump, the lifetime of this phase is very short.
