摘要:

利用Nobeyama 45 m望远镜,我们在C18 O(J=1-0)谱线发射的5个目标区域内绘制了7个年轻的大质量分子团簇的图。这些团块与星团无关,距离在0.7到2.1千秒差距之间。我们发现C18 O团块的半径为0.5-1.7秒差距,质量为470-4200兆太阳,速度宽度为1.4-3.3公里/秒。所有的团块都是巨大的,并且近似处于维里平衡,这表明它们可能会形成集群。我们的靶区域中的三个与H II区域相关(来自Clump with H II Regions的“CWHR”),而另外两个没有H II区域(CWOHR)。C18 O团块可分为两种形态类型:CWHR呈贝壳状或壳状结构,CWOHR呈球形。两个CWOHR具有系统速度梯度。使用公开发布的WISE数据库,在C18 O团块中识别出I类和II类原恒星候选者。在所有YSO候选中,I类候选的分数(I类+II类)在CWHR中> 50%,在CWOHR中<50%。我们的结论是,从H II区的影响可以看出:(1)的空间分布的团块:沿H II区的连续或壳状结构,(2)的团块的速度结构:沿壳大的速度分散,和(3)小的年龄传播的YSO。年轻天体年龄的微小差异表明,H II区的存在往往会触发同时代的团簇形成。

英文摘要:

We present maps of 7 young massive molecular clumps within 5 target regions in the C18O (J=1-0) line emission, using the Nobeyama 45m telescope. These clumps, which are not associated with clusters, lie at distances between 0.7 to 2.1 kpc. We find C18O clumps with radii of 0.5-1.7 pc, masses of 470-4200 Msun, and velocity widths of 1.4-3.3 km/s. All of the clumps are massive and approximately in virial equilibrium, suggesting they will potentially form clusters. Three of our target regions are associated with H II regions ("CWHRs" from Clump with H II Regions), and the other two are without H II regions (CWOHRs). The C18O clumps can be classified into two morphological types: CWHRs shape a filamentary or shell-like structure, CWOHRs are spherical. The two CWOHRs have systematic velocity gradients. Using the publicly released WISE database, Class I and Class II protostellar candidates were identified within the C18O clumps. The fraction of the Class I candidates among all YSO candidates (Class I+Class II) is > 50 % in CWHRs, and < 50 % in CWOHRs. We conclude that effects from the H II regions can be seen in (1) spatial distributions of the clumps: filamentary or shell-like structure running along the H II regions, (2) velocity structures of the clumps: large velocity dispersion along shells, and (3) small age spreads of YSOs. The small spread in age of the YSOs show that the presence of H II regions tend to trigger coeval cluster formation.
