摘要:

W5-E已经用Herschel-PACS和-SPIRE光度计在100、160、250、350和500微米处观察到。尘埃温度图显示了一个相当均匀的温度,在密集的凝聚或细丝中的温度范围为17.5-20 K,在光解离区域中的温度范围为21-22 K,在电离区域的方向上的温度范围为24-31 K。柱密度相当低,到处都低于10^23 cm-2,在PDR中只有几个10^21 cm-2。大约8000太阳质量的中性物质围绕着电离区,相对于这个HII区的体积来说,这是很低的;我们认为,W5-E,W5-W,Sh~201,A和B HII区的激发星沿着一个致密的细丝或片形成,而不是在一个更球形的云。在100微米处探测到了50个点源。他们中的大多数是0/I类YSO。用改进的黑体模型拟合了它们的包络的SED。这些包层是冷的,平均温度为15.7 ± 1.8K。它们的质量在1.3-47太阳质量范围内。这些点源中有11个是候选0类YSO。这些点源中有12个可能是在该地区检测到的两极外流的起源。没有一个YSO包含一个大质量的中心天体,但有几个可能形成一个大质量的恒星,因为它们既有一个大质量的外壳,也有一个高的外壳吸积率。大多数0/I级YSO都是在高柱密度物质的方向上观测到的,例如在双极Sh 201 HII区域腰部或被明亮边缘云BRC 14包围的大规模冷凝方向。在HII区域的边界上,0/I类YSO的密度过高,强烈表明触发恒星形成在该区域起作用,但由于分辨率不足,触发起源的确切过程难以确定。

英文摘要:

W5-E has been observed with the Herschel-PACS and -SPIRE photometers, at 100, 160, 250, 350, and 500 microns. The dust temperature map shows a rather uniform temperature, in the range 17.5-20 K in the dense condensations or filaments, 21-22 K in the photodissociation regions, and 24-31 K in the direction of the ionized regions. The column densities are rather low, everywhere lower than 10^23 cm-2, and of the order of a few 10^21 cm-2 in the PDRs. About 8000 solar masses of neutral material surrounds the ionized region, which is low with respect to the volume of this HII region; we suggest that the exciting stars of the W5-E, W5-W, Sh~201, A and B HII regions formed along a dense filament or sheet rather than inside a more spherical cloud. Fifty point sources have been detected at 100 microns. Most of them are Class 0/I YSOs. The SEDs of their envelopes have been fitted using a modified blackbody model. These envelopes are cold, with a mean temperature of 15.7+-1.8K. Their masses are in the range 1.3-47 solar masses. Eleven of these point sources are candidate Class 0 YSOs. Twelve of these point sources are possibly at the origin of bipolar outflows detected in this region. None of the YSOs contain a massive central object, but a few may form a massive star as they have both a massive envelope and also a high envelope accretion rate. Most of the Class 0/I YSOs are observed in the direction of high column density material, for example in the direction of the massive condensations present at the waist of the bipolar Sh 201 HII region or enclosed by the bright-rimmed cloud BRC14. The overdensity of Class 0/I YSOs on the borders of the HII regions strongly suggests that triggered star formation is at work in this region but, due to insufficient resolution, the exact processes at the origin of the triggering are difficult to determine.
