摘要:

我们报告的分子线和尘埃连续观测对高质量恒星形成区域G331.5-0.1,在银河系中的大质量恒星形成的最明亮的地区之一,位于切线区域的诺玛螺旋臂,在7.5千秒差距的距离。在CO(J=1-0)和C_(18)O(J=1 -0)系中,NANTEN将分子发射定位在G331.5-0.1 GMC,而在CS(J=2-1和J=5-4)中,SEST将其中心区域定位在CS(J=7-6)和13 CO(J=3-2)中。SIMBA在1.2毫米处和LABOCA在0.87毫米处绘制的连续辐射揭示了六个紧凑而明亮的尘埃团的存在,使该源成为银河系中GMC人口最稠密的中心区域之一。尘埃团与分子气体有关,它们具有以下平均性质:大小为1.6 pc,质量为3.2x10^3 Msun,分子氢密度为3.7x10^4 cm^{-3},尘埃温度为32 K,积分亮度为5.7x10^5 Lsun,与其他大质量恒星形成的尘埃团的数值一致。CS和13 CO光谱显示存在两个速度分量:一个是朝向其中四个团块的约-89 km s^{-1}处的高速分量,另一个是朝向另外两个团块的约-101 km s^{-1}处的低速分量。射电连续辐射出现在四个分子团中,其中两个的光谱指数估计为0.8 ± 0.2和1.2 ± 0.2。在最亮的团簇中心发现了高速分子外流,在CS(J=7-6)中线宽为26 km s^{-1}(FWHM)。SiO(J=7-6和J=8-7)和SO(J_K=8_8-7_7和J_K=8_7-7_6)谱线的观测分别提供了朝向该外流的气体旋转温度>120 K和>75 K的估计。

英文摘要:

We report molecular line and dust continuum observations toward the high-mass star forming region G331.5-0.1, one of the most luminous regions of massive star-formation in the Milky Way, located at the tangent region of the Norma spiral arm, at a distance of 7.5 kpc. Molecular emission was mapped toward the G331.5-0.1 GMC in the CO (J=1-0) and C18O (J=1-0) lines with NANTEN, while its central region was mapped in CS (J=2-1 and J=5-4) with SEST, and in CS (J=7-6) and 13CO (J=3-2) with ASTE. Continuum emission mapped at 1.2 mm with SIMBA and at 0.87 mm with LABOCA reveal the presence of six compact and luminous dust clumps, making this source one of the most densely populated central regions of a GMC in the Galaxy. The dust clumps are associated with molecular gas and they have the following average properties: size of 1.6 pc, mass of 3.2x10^3 Msun, molecular hydrogen density of 3.7x10^4 cm^{-3}, dust temperature of 32 K, and integrated luminosity of 5.7x10^5 Lsun, consistent with values found toward other massive star forming dust clumps. The CS and 13CO spectra show the presence of two velocity components: a high-velocity component at ~ -89 km s^{-1}, seen toward four of the clumps, and a low-velocity component at ~ -101 km s^{-1} seen toward the other two clumps. Radio continuum emission is present toward four of the molecular clumps, with spectral index estimated for two of them of 0.8+-0.2 and 1.2+-0.2. A high-velocity molecular outflow is found at the center of the brightest clump, with a line width of 26 km s^{-1} (FWHM) in CS (J=7-6). Observations of SiO (J=7-6 and J=8-7), and SO (J_K=8_8-7_7 and J_K=8_7-7_6) lines provide estimates of the gas rotational temperature toward this outflow >120 K and >75 K, respectively.
