大质量年轻恒星天体团中6.7 GHz甲醇脉泽的EVN观测

EVN observations of 6.7 GHz methanol masers in clusters of massive young stellar objects

摘要:

6.7 GHz的甲醇脉泽与高质量恒星形成区(HMSFR)有关,并且通常具有中红外(MIR)对应物,其特征在于4.5 $μ$ m处的扩展发射,这可能是大质量年轻恒星天体(MYSO)的流出物。我们的目标是确定脉泽发射的毫角秒(mas)形态,并检查它是否来自一个或几个候选MIR对应的MYSO集群。利用欧洲VLBI网(EVN)对6.7GHz脉泽谱线进行了~2.从托伦星表看14个脉泽点的1个视场。用托伦32米望远镜进行了准同步观测。我们获得了具有mas角分辨率的图,其显示了甲醇排放形态的多样性:线性分布(例如,G37.753 - 00.189)、环状(G40.425 + 00.700)和复合物(例如,G45.467 + 00.053)。脉泽发射通常与星团中最强的MIR对应物相关联;在2的视场中没有从其他MIR源检测到脉泽发射。直径1英寸。脉泽源的光度似乎与MYSO中心的总光度相关。虽然甚长基线干涉测量(VLBI)技术解决了微波激射发射的重要部分,形态仍然很好地确定。这表明大多数微波激射器组件具有紧凑的核心。

英文摘要:

Methanol masers at 6.7 GHz are associated with high-mass star-forming regions (HMSFRs) and often have mid-infrared (MIR) counterparts characterized by extended emission at 4.5 $μ$m, which likely traces outflows from massive young stellar objects (MYSOs). Our objectives are to determine the milliarcsecond (mas) morphology of the maser emission and to examine if it comes from one or several candidate MIR counterparts in the clusters of MYSOs. The European VLBI Network (EVN) was used to image the 6.7 GHz maser line with ~2.'1 field of view toward 14 maser sites from the Torun catalog. Quasi-simultaneous observations were carried out with the Torun 32 m telescope. We obtained maps with mas angular resolution that showed diversity of methanol emission morphology: a linear distribution (e.g., G37.753-00.189), a ring-like (G40.425+00.700), and a complex one (e.g., G45.467+00.053). The maser emission is usually associated with the strongest MIR counterpart in the clusters; no maser emission was detected from other MIR sources in the fields of view of 2.'1 in diameter. The maser source luminosity seems to correlate with the total luminosity of the central MYSO. Although the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique resolves a significant part of the maser emission, the morphology is still well determined. This indicates that the majority of maser components have compact cores.
