摘要:

HII区是围绕着大质量恒星的电离球体。它们是追踪银河系结构的理想目标,因为它们主要存在于旋臂中,并且在红外和无线电波段具有高光度。在绿岸望远镜HII区域发现调查(GBT HRDS)中,我们发现超过30%的银河系第一象限HII区域具有多个氢射电复合线(RRL)速度,这使得确定它们的银河系位置和物理性质变得不可能。在这里,我们进行额外的GBT RRL观测,以确定18度内所有117个多速度源的离散HII区域速度。<1 <65度。多速度源主要集中在22度带。<1 <32 °,这与大质量恒星形成的最大区域相吻合,这意味着漫射辐射是由泄漏的电离光子引起的。我们结合我们的观察与分析的电子温度,分子气体,和碳复合线,以确定103个离散H II区域(88%的样品)的源速度。在已知源速度的情况下,我们解决了47个区域的运动学距离模糊性,从而确定了它们的日心距离。

英文摘要:

HII regions are the ionized spheres surrounding high-mass stars. They are ideal targets for tracing Galactic structure because they are predominantly found in spiral arms and have high luminosities at infrared and radio wavelengths. In the Green Bank Telescope HII Region Discovery Survey (GBT HRDS) we found that >30% of first Galactic quadrant HII regions have multiple hydrogen radio recombination line (RRL) velocities, which makes determining their Galactic locations and physical properties impossible. Here we make additional GBT RRL observations to determine the discrete HII region velocity for all 117 multiple-velocity sources within 18deg. < l < 65deg. The multiple-velocity sources are concentrated in the zone 22deg. < l < 32deg., coinciding with the largest regions of massive star formation, which implies that the diffuse emission is caused by leaked ionizing photons. We combine our observations with analyses of the electron temperature, molecular gas, and carbon recombination lines to determine the source velocities for 103 discrete H II regions (88% of the sample). With the source velocities known, we resolve the kinematic distance ambiguity for 47 regions, and thus determine their heliocentric distances.
