摘要:

我们使用瑞典ESO亚毫米望远镜(SEST)寻找新的II类甲醇脉泽向南源G345.01+1.79的过渡。在5天的时间里,我们观察到11个已知的或预测的II类甲醇脉泽转换。发射窄线宽和特征速度的第二类甲醇脉泽(在这个来源)被检测到在8个这些转变,其中两个以前没有被报道为脉泽。新的Ⅱ类甲醇脉泽跃迁是104.1GHz的13(-3)-12(-4)E跃迁和216.9GHz的5(1)-4(2)E跃迁。这两个都是从过渡系列,有没有以前已知的第二类甲醇脉泽过渡。这使得已知的II类甲醇脉泽系列的总数达到10个,跃迁(或跃迁组)的总数达到18个。观测到的104.1 GHz脉泽表明存在两个或两个以上的脉泽气体区域,具有相似的视线速度,但物理条件完全不同。虽然这些新发现的跃迁可能相对罕见,但在观察到它们的地方,使用澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列和阿塔卡马大型毫米波阵列进行的联合研究提供了能够以前所未有的细节进行多跃迁甲醇脉泽研究的前景。

英文摘要:

We have used the Swedish ESO Submillimetre Telescope (SEST) to search for new class II methanol maser transitions towards the southern source G345.01+1.79. Over a period of 5 days we observed 11 known or predicted class II methanol maser transitions. Emission with the narrow line width and characteristic velocity of class II methanol masers (in this source) was detected in 8 of these transitions, two of which have not previously been reported as masers. The new class II methanol maser transitions are the 13(-3)-12(-4)E transition at 104.1 GHz and the 5(1)-4(2)E transition at 216.9 GHz. Both of these are from transition series for which there are no previous known class II methanol maser transitions. This takes the total number of known class II methanol maser series to 10, and the total number of transitions (or transition groups) to 18. The observed 104.1 GHz maser suggests the presence of two or more regions of masing gas with similar line of sight velocities, but quite different physical conditions. Although these newly discovered transitions are likely to be relatively rare, where they are observed combined studies using the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array offer the prospect to be able to undertake multi-transition methanol maser studies with unprecedented detail.
