摘要:

作为银河系成像卷轴画(MWISP)调查的一部分,我们同时进行了12 CO(1-0),13 CO(1-0),C18 O(1-0)映射到分子云在一个区域涵盖3.75平方度。我们揭示了三个分子云,15公里/秒的云,27公里/秒的云,和50公里/秒的云,在调查区域。对50 km/s的云,首次获得了1'左右的角分辨率。调查他们的形态和速度结构,我们发现,27公里/秒的云可能是受反馈的恒星协会蒙OB 3和50公里/秒的云的特点是由三个大的膨胀分子壳。首次在C18 O(1-0)中映射了该区域。我们发现了7个可能形成大质量恒星的C18 O团块和15个基于BGPS档案数据的尘埃团块。利用红外色-色图,我们发现了56个I类和107个II类年轻恒星天体(YSO)候选者。根据YSO候选者的分布,在HII区域S287和两个壳层的交叉点周围发现了过密度,指示触发。讨论了27 km/s星云的恒星形成效率和速率。通过比较S287-main暗条的观测值和碎片化模型,我们认为暗条中的大尺度碎片化是由湍流控制的,而小尺度上的引力碎片化则对YSO的形成起着重要的作用。我们发现恒星形成气体往往比非恒星形成气体具有更高的激发温度、更高的13 CO不透明度和更高的柱密度,这与恒星形成发生在更致密的气体中以及恒星形成气体被YSO加热的观点一致。用1.1mm的尘埃辐射来追踪稠密气体,我们得到了27 km/s云的稠密气体含量为2.7%-10.4%。

英文摘要:

As a part of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) survey, we performed a simultaneous 12CO(1-0), 13CO(1-0), C18O(1-0) mapping toward molecular clouds in a region encompassing 3.75 square degrees. We reveal three molecular clouds, the 15 km/s cloud, the 27 km/s cloud, and the 50 km/s cloud, in the surveyed region. The 50 km/s cloud is resolved with an angular resolution of around 1' for the first time. Investigating their morphology and velocity structures, we find that the 27 km/s cloud is likely affected by feedback from the stellar association Mon OB3 and the 50 km/s cloud is characterised by three large expanding molecular shells. The region is mapped in C18O (1-0) for the first time. We discover seven C18O clumps, which are likely to form massive stars, and 15 dust clumps based on the BGPS archival data. Using infrared color-color diagrams, we find 56 Class I and 107 Class II young stellar object (YSO) candidates. According to the distribution of YSO candidates, an overdensity is found around the HII region S287 and the intersection of two shells, indicative of triggering. The star formation efficiency and rate of the 27~km/s cloud are discussed. Comparing the observed values of the filament S287-main with the models of fragmentation, we suggest that turbulence controls the large scale of fragmentation in the filament while gravitational fragmentation plays an important role in the formation of YSOs on the small scale. We find that star-forming gas tends to have higher excitation temperature, higher 13CO opacity, and higher column density than non-star-forming gas, which is consistent with the point that star formation happens in denser gas and star-forming gas is heated by YSOs. Using the 1.1 mm dust emission to trace dense gas, we obtain a dense gas fraction of 2.7%-10.4% for the 27 km/s cloud.
