摘要:

我们提出的结果,从深成像的大质量恒星形成区域NGC 6334-V的线性和圆偏振。这些观测结果表明,高程度的圆偏振(CP),高达22%的Ks带,在红外星云与外流。CP具有不对称的正/负模式,并且非常延伸(~80”或0.65 pc)。高CP和它的扩展尺寸都比猎户座CP区域中看到的要大。三维蒙特卡罗光散射模型被用来表明,高CP可能产生的散射从红外星云,然后由二向色消光的光学厚前景云包含对齐的尘埃颗粒。我们的结果不仅显示了年轻天体周围的磁场方向,而且还显示了沿视线方向的外流区及其母分子云等星周物质的结构。在这个源和猎户座星云中发现的大而扩展的CP可能暗示了地球上生物同手性的CP起源。

英文摘要:

We present results from deep imaging linear and circular polarimetry of the massive star-forming region NGC 6334- V. These observations show high degrees of circular polarization (CP), as much as 22 % in the Ks band, in the infrared nebula associated with the outflow. The CP has an asymmetric positive/negative pattern and is very extended (~80" or 0.65 pc). Both the high CP and its extended size are larger than those seen in the Orion CP region. Three-dimensional Monte Carlo light-scattering models are used to show that the high CP may be produced by scattering from the infrared nebula followed by dichroic extinction by an optically thick foreground cloud containing aligned dust grains. Our results show not only the magnetic field orientation of around young stellar objects but also the structure of circumstellar matter such as outflow regions and their parent molecular cloud along the line of sight. The detection of the large and extended CP in this source and the Orion nebula may imply the CP origin of the biological homochirality on Earth.
