摘要:

方法:我们在1.3 mm处进行了SMA观测,采用了最扩展和最紧凑的阵列配置,提供了各种分子线的亚弧秒和高灵敏度图,包括热核和外流示踪剂。我们还重建了从毫米到近红外波长的区域的光谱能量分布,使用Herschel/Hi-GAL地图,以及档案数据。结果:从光谱能量分布中,我们得到了大约4 × 10^4 Lsun的辐射热光度。我们的干涉观测表明,在HMC的致密气体和尘埃的分布是显着平坦的,并延伸到半径为8000 AU的射电连续谱和微波激射发射的中心在该地区。该HMC的赤道面严格垂直于准直双极流出的伸长,如在主要CO同位素异构体以及SiO(5 - 4)线中在约0.1 - 0.5 pc的尺度上成像。在最里面的HMC区域(ca. CH_3CN(12_K-11_K)谱线追踪的速度场表明,分子气体既遵循哈勃定律沿外流方向膨胀,又绕外流轴旋转,与甲醇脉泽追踪的三维速度场一致。与旋转相关的速度场表明,核心中心的动力学质量为19 Msun。后者很可能集中在一颗O9.5 ZAMS恒星中,与估计的热光度G023.01 - 00.41一致。CO(2 - 1)外流辐射的物理性质,例如其动量率为6 × 10 ^-3 Msun km/s/yr,外流率为2 × 10 ^-4 Msun/yr,支持我们对嵌入的年轻恒星天体的光度(和质量)的估计。

英文摘要:

(Abridged) METHODS: We performed SMA observations at 1.3 mm with both the most extended and compact array configurations, providing sub-arcsecond and high sensitivity maps of various molecular lines, including both hot-core and outflow tracers. We also reconstruct the spectral energy distribution of the region from millimeter to near infrared wavelengths, using the Herschel/Hi-GAL maps, as well as archival data. RESULTS: From the spectral energy distribution, we derive a bolometric luminosity of about 4x10^4 Lsun. Our interferometric observations reveal that the distribution of dense gas and dust in the HMC is significantly flattened and extends up to a radius of 8000 AU from the center of radio continuum and maser emission in the region. The equatorial plane of this HMC is strictly perpendicular to the elongation of the collimated bipolar outflow, as imaged on scales of about 0.1-0.5 pc in the main CO isotopomers as well as in the SiO(5-4) line. In the innermost HMC regions (ca. 1000 AU), the velocity field traced by the CH3CN(12_K-11_K) line emission shows that molecular gas is both expanding along the outflow direction following a Hubble-law, and rotating about the outflow axis, in agreement with the (3-D) velocity field traced by methanol masers. The velocity field associated with rotation indicates a dynamical mass of 19 Msun at the center of the core. The latter is likely to be concentrated in a single O9.5 ZAMS star, consistent with the estimated bolometric luminosity of G023.01-00.41. The physical properties of the CO(2-1) outflow emission, such as its momentum rate 6x10^-3 Msun km/s /yr and its outflow rate 2x10^-4 Msun/yr, support our estimates of the luminosity (and mass) of the embedded young stellar object.
