船底座星云中辐照柱、小球和喷流的研究

A Survey of Irradiated Pillars, Globules, and Jets in the Carina Nebul

摘要:

我们提出了宽视场,深窄带H $_2$,Br $γ$,H $α$,[S II],[O III],和宽带I和K-波段图像的船底座恒星形成区。新的图像提供了一个大规模的概述所有的H $_2$和Br $γ$排放目前在一个平方度集中在这个签名恒星形成复合体。通过将这些图像与档案HST和斯皮策图像进行比较,我们观察到来自O型和B型恒星的强烈紫外辐射如何影响分子云中的恒星形成。我们使用这些图像来定位新的候选外流,并在数十个不同的恒星形成活动区域内识别主要的冲击波和辐射界面。射流中的冲击分子气体追踪了最受强烈紫外线辐射屏蔽的部分气流。结合H $_2$和光学图像可以更完整地查看喷流,有时仅在H $_2$中可见。船底座区域有几个紧凑的年轻星团,这些星团内的气体受到星团恒星和附近大质量恒星辐射的影响。船底座星云是研究年轻的H II区域和PDR的物理学的理想场所,因为它包含了多个处于不同发展阶段的壁和辐射柱的例子。一些柱体已经脱离了它们的宿主分子云,形成了柱体。荧光H $_2$概述了电离和分子气体之间的接口,并在去除连续后,我们检测到的Br $γ$和H $_2$发射沿照射界面之间的空间偏移。一旦这些线的合成地图可用,这些空间偏移可用于测试当前的PDR模型。

英文摘要:

We present wide-field, deep narrowband H$_2$, Br$γ$, H$α$, [S II], [O III], and broadband I and K-band images of the Carina star formation region. The new images provide a large-scale overview of all the H$_2$ and Br$γ$ emission present in over a square degree centered on this signature star forming complex. By comparing these images with archival HST and Spitzer images we observe how intense UV radiation from O and B stars affects star formation in molecular clouds. We use the images to locate new candidate outflows and identify the principal shock waves and irradiated interfaces within dozens of distinct areas of star-forming activity. Shocked molecular gas in jets traces the parts of the flow that are most shielded from the intense UV radiation. Combining the H$_2$ and optical images gives a more complete view of the jets, which are sometimes only visible in H$_2$. The Carina region hosts several compact young clusters, and the gas within these clusters is affected by radiation from both the cluster stars and the massive stars nearby. The Carina Nebula is ideal for studying the physics of young H II regions and PDR's, as it contains multiple examples of walls and irradiated pillars at various stages of development. Some of the pillars have detached from their host molecular clouds to form proplyds. Fluorescent H$_2$ outlines the interfaces between the ionized and molecular gas, and after removing continuum, we detect spatial offsets between the Br$γ$ and H$_2$ emission along the irradiated interfaces. These spatial offsets can be used to test current models of PDRs once synthetic maps of these lines become available.
