摘要:

我们提出了一个统计研究的分布和物理性质的冷致密材料和周围的内银河平面近红外气泡编目的银河系项目公民科学家。使用ATLASGAL 870微米调查的数据,我们发现,在研究的调查区域(|l| <= 65度,|b| <= 1度)的所有冷团块中,有48 +/- 2%被发现靠近气泡,25 +/- 2%直接投射到气泡边缘。两点相关性分析证实了大量冷团与膨胀气泡的强相关性。它显示了沿着气泡边缘的高密度团块,这些团块随着气泡尺寸的增加而增加,这表明了星际介质物质是如何通过大质量恒星形成区域周围的气泡膨胀而在大尺度上重新排列的。最高柱密度的团块似乎抵抗膨胀,保持过密朝向气泡的内部,而不是被膨胀边缘扫起。对氨的光谱观测表明,气泡附近的冷尘埃团似乎比现场的尘埃团更密集、更热、更动荡,这为与气泡相关的尘埃团更有可能形成恒星提供了间接证据。这些观察到的物理条件的差异持续超出气泡边缘的区域。

英文摘要:

We present a statistical study of the distribution and physical properties of cold dense material in and around the inner Galactic Plane near infrared bubbles as catalogued by the Milky Way Project citizen scientists. Using data from the ATLASGAL 870 um survey, we show that 48 +/- 2% of all cold clumps in the studied survey region (|l| <= 65 degrees, |b| <= 1 degree) are found in close proximity to a bubble, and 25 +/- 2% appear directly projected towards a bubble rim. A two-point correlation analysis confirms the strong correlation of massive cold clumps with expanding bubbles. It shows an overdensity of clumps along bubble rims that grows with increasing bubble size, which shows how interstellar medium material is reordered on large scales by bubble expansion around regions of massive star formation. The highest column density clumps appear resistent to the expansion, remaining overdense towards the bubbles' interior rather than being swept up by the expanding edge. Spectroscopic observations in ammonia show that cold dust clumps near bubbles appear to be denser, hotter and more turbulent than those in the field, offering circumstantial evidence that bubble-associated clumps are more likely to be forming stars. These observed differences in physical conditions persist for beyond the region of the bubble rims.
