摘要:

利用NANTEN 2观测了超级星团NGC 3603在12 CO(J=2-1,J=1-0)和13 CO(J=2- 1,J=1-0)跃迁中的分子云。我们认为,两个分子云在13公里s-1和28公里s-1与NGC 3603证明了较高的温度向H II区域以及形态对应。这些云的质量太小了,它们之间的相对运动只有20 km s-1。我们认为,这两个云在百万年前相互碰撞,引发了超级星团的形成。这种情况是能够解释的起源,最高质量的恒星星族在集群中,是年轻的百万年,并隔离在中央sub-pc的集群。这是沿着Westerlund 2的第二个超级星团,其形成可能是由云-云碰撞引发的。

英文摘要:

We present new large field observations of molecular clouds with NANTEN2 toward the super star cluster NGC3603 in the transitions 12CO(J=2-1, J=1-0) and 13CO(J=2-1, J=1-0). We suggest that two molecular clouds at 13 km s-1 and 28 km s-1 are associated with NGC3603 as evidenced by higher temperatures toward the H II region as well as morphological correspondence. The mass of the clouds is too small to gravitationally bind them, given their relative motion of ~20 km s-1. We suggest that the two clouds collided with each other a Myr ago to trigger the formation of the super star cluster. This scenario is able to explain the origin of the highest mass stellar population in the cluster which is as young as a Myr and is segregated within the central sub-pc of the cluster. This is the second super star cluster along side Westerlund2 where formation may have been triggered by a cloud-cloud collision.
