摘要:

我们提出了一个观测研究的原恒星核心B335窝藏低质量0级源。利用Nobeyama 45 m望远镜和Nobeyama毫米波天线阵对H13 CO+(J=1-0)谱线进行了观测。我们的干涉仪和单碟数据的组合图像描绘了核心内致密包层的详细结构。我们发现,地核的径向密度分布为n(r)prop. r^-p,并且地核内外区域的幂律指数存在可靠的差异:当r >= 4000 AU时,p~2;当r <= 4000 AU时,p ~ 1.5}。在流出轴上,致密核在20,000天文单位的尺度上显示出约1.0 km/s的轻微的整体速度梯度。我们认为,这种速度梯度代表了一个固体一样的核心旋转。稠密包层具有相当对称的速度结构,向核心中心有明显的线增宽,这在流出轴上的位置-速度图中尤为突出。位置-速度图的模型计算很好地再现了使用等温球的坍缩模型的观测结果,在该模型中,核心具有内部自由落体区域和外部区域,该外部区域保存了中心恒星物体形成阶段的条件。我们推导出中心恒星的质量约为0.1太阳质量,并认为在大于等于4000天文单位的外核有一个很小的向内运动速度v(r>r_inf)约为0 km s^-1。我们的结论是,我们的数据可以很好地解释了引力坍缩与准静态的初始条件,如舒的模型,或等温坍缩的临界Bonnor-Ebert球。

英文摘要:

We present an observational study of the protostellar core B335 harboring a low-mass Class 0 source. The observations of the H13CO+(J=1-0) line emission were carried out using the Nobeyama 45 m telescope and Nobeyama Millimeter Array. Our combined image of the interferometer and single-dish data depicts detailed structures of the dense envelope within the core. We found that the core has a radial density profile of n(r) prop. r^-p and a reliable difference in the power-law indices between the outer and inner regions of the core: p~2 for r >= 4000 AU and p ~ 1.5 for r <= 4000 AU}. The dense core shows a slight overall velocity gradient of ~1.0 km s^-1 over the scale of 20,000 AU across the outflow axis. We believe that this velocity gradient represents a solid-body-like rotation of the core. The dense envelope has a quite symmetrical velocity structure with a remarkable line broadening toward the core center, which is especially prominent in the position-velocity diagram across the outflow axis. The model calculations of position-velocity diagrams do a good job of reproducing observational results using the collapse model of an isothermal sphere in which the core has an inner free-fall region and an outer region conserving the conditions at the formation stage of a central stellar object. We derived a central stellar mass of ~0.1 M_sun, and suggest a small inward velocity, v(r>r_inf) ~ 0 km s^-1 in the outer core at >= 4000 AU. We concluded that our data can be well explained by gravitational collapse with a quasi-static initial condition, such as Shu's model, or by the isothermal collapse of a marginally critical Bonnor-Ebert sphere.
