摘要:

报道了澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列(ATCA)对Westerlund~1(Wd 1)区SiO v=1,J=1-0和H_2O_6(16)-5(23)脉泽谱线的观测结果,并分析了与Wd 1等6个大质量星系团有关的红超巨星脉泽性质。本研究的主要目的是探索利用脉泽辐射来研究大质量星系团和相关星系团性质的可能性。在Wd 1的4个已知RSG中的2个方向上检测到SiOv =1、J=1-0和H2O 6(16)-5(23)脉泽线。脉泽辐射的大速度范围与RSG状态相一致。与没有脉泽发射的RSG相比,有脉泽发射的RSG倾向于表现出更红的对数(F21/F12)和[K-12.13]颜色。来自尘埃辐射转移模型的质量损失率表明,与没有脉泽发射的RSG相比,具有脉泽发射的RSG往往表现出更大的质量损失率。在6个大质量星系团的57个RSG的扩展样本中,SiO线的探测值在绝对光度L上趋于均匀分布,而H2O线的探测值则倾向于分布在L值较大的区域。

英文摘要:

We report the results of Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations of the Westerlund~1 (Wd1) region in the SiO v=1, J=1-0 and H2O 6(16)-5(23) maser lines, and we also report the analysis of maser properties of red supergiants (RSGs) associated with 6 massive clusters including Wd1. The primary purpose of this research is to explore possibilities of using maser emission for investigating the nature of massive clusters and associated RSGs. The SiO v=1, J=1-0 and H2O 6(16)-5(23) maser lines are detected toward 2 of 4 known RSGs in Wd1. The large velocity ranges of maser emission are consistent with the RSG status. RSGs with maser emission tend to exhibit redder log (F21/F12) and [K-12.13] colors compared to RSGs with no maser emission. The mass-loss rates derived from dust radiative transfer modeling suggest that RSGs with maser emission tend to exhibit larger mass-loss rates compared to RSGs with no maser emission. In an extended sample of 57 RSGs in 6 massive clusters, detections in the SiO line tend to homogeneously distribute in absolute luminosity L, whereas those in the H2O line tend to distribute in a region with large L values.
