摘要:

大多数关于大质量恒星形成的研究都集中在大质量的发光团块上,但对它们更大尺度环境的物理性质知之甚少。在这项工作中,我们的目标是通过研究中J 12 CO和13 CO数据的温暖气体的分布,以表征集群恒星的形成和反馈的大质量恒星对周围介质的影响。我们给出了恒星形成区G327.36-0.6的APEX 12 CO(6 - 5),(7-6),13 CO(6-5),(8-7)和HIFI 13 CO(10-9)图。我们推断的物理性质的排放气体在大尺度上通过LTE分析,而我们应用一个更复杂的LVG方法在选定的位置。所有线的地图在强度上由Hii区域G327.3-0.5周围的PDR主导。在Hii区域周围的气体中,激发温度从20 K到80 K不等,H2柱密度从团簇间气体中的几个10^21 cm-2到朝向热核G327.3-0.6的3 10^22 cm-2。温暖的气体(由12和13 CO(6-5)排放追踪)仅占IRDC总气体的一小部分(10%),而在Hii区域周围的环中,它达到了总气体的35%。12 CO阶梯在质量上与高密度气体的PDR模型兼容,但比预测的13 CO排放弱得多,表明它来自视线上的大量团块。当在等效半径为50”(~0.8pc)的大区域上平均时,在团簇间气体中检测到所有谱线,这意味着中J 12 CO和13 CO团簇间发射是由于具有低填充因子的高密度组分。最后,13 CO(10-9)线的检测允许解开气体温度和气体密度对CO排放的影响,这是简并在APEX观测单独。

英文摘要:

Most studies of high-mass star formation focus on massive luminous clumps, but the physical properties of their larger scale environment are poorly known. In this work, we aim at characterising the effects of clustered star formation and feedback of massive stars on the surrounding medium by studying the distribution of warm gas through mid-J 12CO and 13CO data. We present APEX 12CO(6-5), (7-6), 13CO(6-5), (8-7) and HIFI 13CO(10-9) maps of the star forming region G327.36-0.6. We infer the physical properties of the emitting gas on large scales through a LTE analysis, while we apply a more sophisticated LVG approach on selected positions. Maps of all lines are dominated in intensity by the PDR around the Hii region G327.3-0.5. Mid-J 12CO emission is detected over the whole extent of the maps with excitation temperatures ranging from 20K up to 80K in the gas around the Hii region, and H2 column densities from few 10^21 cm-2 in the inter-clump gas to 3 10^22 cm-2 towards the hot core G327.3-0.6. The warm gas (traced by 12 and 13CO(6-5) emission) is only a small percentage (10%) of the total gas in the IRDC, while it reaches values up to 35% of the total gas in the ring surrounding the Hii region. The 12CO ladders are qualitatively compatible with PDR models for high density gas, but the much weaker than predicted 13CO emission suggests that it comes from a large number of clumps along the line of sight. All lines are detected in the inter-clump gas when averaged over a large region with an equivalent radius of 50" (~0.8pc), implying that the mid-J 12CO and 13CO inter-clump emission is due to high density components with low filling factor. Finally, the detection of the 13CO(10-9) line allows to disentangle the effects of gas temperature and gas density on the CO emission, which are degenerate in the APEX observations alone.
