摘要:

我们报告的年轻的大质量团块(G35.20w)在W 48,以前的分子线和尘埃观测显示,在非常早期的恒星形成阶段。基于维里分析,我们发现,需要一个强大的领域~1640 microG的压力平衡,以保持集团。我们用IRAM 30 m望远镜对113 GHz CN(1-0)线进行了深度塞曼效应测量。我们将所有CN超精细的同时拟合与蒙特卡罗模拟相结合,以实现大范围的磁场,从而获得对视线场强为-687 +/-420 microG的约束。我们还分析了档案尘埃偏振观测G35.20w。一个强磁场是由非常有序的磁场方向是垂直于最长轴的团块暗示。在此基础上,我们还估计天空平面分量的磁场为~740 microG。这允许对相同区域和相似空间尺度的磁场强度的两个正交测量进行唯一比较。预期的总场强显示,所观察到的场与压力平衡所需的场之间没有明显的冲突。通过产生一个大范围的场几何形状的概率分布,我们表明,平面的天空投影比视线投影更接近真实的场强。这可能会对磁化结构的塞曼测量提出重大挑战,即使使用ALMA。我们还表明,CN分子不遭受亏损的主要是冷和高氘核心在高质量恒星形成的早期阶段的观测尺度上,因此是一个很好的示踪剂的致密气体。

英文摘要:

We report on the young massive clump (G35.20w) in W48 that previous molecular line and dust observations have revealed to be in the very early stages of star formation. Based on virial analysis, we find that a strong field of ~1640 microG is required to keep the clump in pressure equilibrium. We performed a deep Zeeman effect measurement of the 113 GHz CN (1-0) line towards this clump with the IRAM 30 m telescope. We combine simultaneous fitting of all CN hyperfines with Monte Carlo simulations for a large range in realization of the magnetic field to obtain a constraint on the line-of-sight field strength of -687 +/- 420 microG. We also analyze archival dust polarization observations towards G35.20w. A strong magnetic field is implied by the remarkably ordered field orientation that is perpendicular to the longest axis of the clump. Based on this, we also estimate the plane-of-sky component of the magnetic field to be ~740 microG. This allows for a unique comparison of the two orthogonal measurements of magnetic field strength of the same region and at similar spatial scales. The expected total field strength shows no significant conflict between the observed field and that required for pressure equilibrium. By producing a probability distribution for a large range in field geometries, we show that plane-of-sky projections are much closer to the true field strengths than line-of-sight projections. This can present a significant challenge for Zeeman measurements of magnetized structures, even with ALMA. We also show that CN molecule does not suffer from depletion on the observed scales in the predominantly cold and highly deuterated core in an early stage of high-mass star formation and is thus a good tracer of the dense gas.
