摘要:

我们希望绘制磁场几何图,并利用多波长光学偏振仪和投射在云上的恒星测光法研究无星云L1570的尘埃特性。我们对投影在云L1570上的恒星进行了R波段成像偏振测量,以跟踪磁场方向。我们还进行了多波长偏振和光度观测,以限制L1570尘埃的性质。我们使用2 MASS JHKs颜色估计到云的距离为394 +/- 70 pc。利用Serkowski参数$σ_{1}$、$\bar ε$、λmax和恒星在近红外色-色图上的位置,识别出13颗可能具有内禀偏振和/或偏振角旋转的恒星。一颗光谱类型为B4 Ve的恒星2 MASS J 06075075 +1934177,除了在发射中显示Hα线外,还显示出弥散星际带的存在。根据尘埃颗粒尺寸指标,如λmax和Rv值,有迹象表明L1570附近存在稍大的尘埃颗粒。发现磁场线平行于L1570的250μm图像(也包括8μm和12μm阴影图像)中看到的云结构。根据磁场的几何形状、云的结构和复杂的速度结构,我们认为L1570是在磁场线的作用下,由于流动物质的汇聚而形成的。结构函数分析表明,在L1570云区,大尺度磁场相对于湍流分量的磁场更强。估计的磁场强度表明,L1570云区是次临界的,因此可以强烈支持的磁场线。

英文摘要:

We wish to map the magnetic field geometry and to study the dust properties of the starless cloud, L1570, using multi-wavelength optical polarimetry and photometry of the stars projected on the cloud. We made R-band imaging polarimetry of the stars projected on a cloud, L1570, to trace the magnetic field orientation. We also made multi-wavelength polarimetric and photometric observations to constrain the properties of dust in L1570. We estimated a distance of 394 +/- 70 pc to the cloud using 2MASS JHKs colours. Using the values of the Serkowski parameters namely $σ_{1}$, $\bar ε$, λmax and the position of the stars on near infrared color-color diagram, we identified 13 stars that could possibly have intrinsic polarization and/or rotation in their polarization angles. One star, 2MASS J06075075+1934177, which is a B4Ve spectral type, show the presence of diffuse interstellar bands in the spectrum apart from showing Hα line in emission. There is an indication for the presence of slightly bigger dust grains towards L1570 on the basis of the dust grain size-indicators such as λmax and Rv values. The magnetic field lines are found to be parallel to the cloud structures seen in the 250μm images (also in 8μm and 12μm shadow images) of L1570. Based on the magnetic field geometry, the cloud structure and the complex velocity structure, we believe that L1570 is in the process of formation due to the converging flow material mediated by the magnetic field lines. Structure function analysis showed that in the L1570 cloud region the large scale magnetic fields are stronger when compared with the turbulent component of magnetic fields. The estimated magnetic field strengths suggest that the L1570 cloud region is sub-critical and hence could be strongly supported by the magnetic field lines.
