摘要:

我们利用钱德拉X射线观测,对大质量恒星形成区G5.89-0.39的恒星群进行了调查,并展示了其与符合TeV伽马射线源HESSJ 1800 - 240 B的潜在联系。G5.89-0.39包括两个单独的HII区域G5.89-0.39A和G5.89-0.39B(超紧凑HII区域)。我们确定了159个单独的X射线点源,在我们的观察使用源检测算法\texttt{wavdetect}。35 X射线源与HII复合体G5.89-0.39有关。这35个X射线源代表了$\sim10^{30.5}$的平均未吸收光度(0.3- 10.keV),erg/s,是典型的B7-B5型星。在我们的观测中,可能发现了G5.89-0.39B的潜在电离源,即费尔特星,其未被吸收的X射线光度表明它是一颗B7-B5星。这些源的堆叠能谱与具有kT $\sim$ 5“,keV和柱密度N $_{\rm H}=2.6\times10^{22}$”,cm $^{-2}$(A $_{\rm V}\sim 10$)的单热等离子体APEC模型很好地拟合。朝向G5.89-0.39A和B的剩余(减去源)X射线发射比它们各自的堆叠源光度大约30%和25%。假设这些残余辐射是来自未解析的恒星源,则G5.89-0.39A和B中的B型等效恒星总量将是75颗,与先前对G5.89-0.39中热恒星总质量的估计一致。我们还研究了G5.89-0.39中35个X射线源的可变性。其中10个来源被标记为可变。需要进一步的研究来确定这种变化的确切原因,但是这种变化可能指向前主序星。这样的恒星族群可以提供足够的动能,来解释HESSJ 1800 - 240 B的部分GeV至TeV伽马射线辐射。

英文摘要:

We present the results of our investigation, using a Chandra X-ray observation, into the stellar population of the massive star formation region G5.89-0.39, and its potential connection to the coincident TeV gamma-ray source HESSJ1800-240B. G5.89-0.39 comprises two separate HII regions G5.89-0.39A and G5.89-0.39B (an ultra-compact HII region). We identified 159 individual X-ray point sources in our observation using the source detection algorithm \texttt{wavdetect}. 35 X-ray sources are associated with the HII complex G5.89-0.39. The 35 X-ray sources represent an average unabsorbed luminosity (0.3-10\,keV) of $\sim10^{30.5}$\,erg/s, typical of B7-B5 type stars. The potential ionising source of G5.89-0.39B known as Feldt's star is possibly identified in our observation with an unabsorbed X-ray luminosity suggestive of a B7-B5 star. The stacked energy spectra of these sources is well-fitted with a single thermal plasma APEC model with kT$\sim$5\,keV, and column density N$_{\rm H}=2.6\times10^{22}$\,cm$^{-2}$ (A$_{\rm V}\sim 10$). The residual (source-subtracted) X-ray emission towards G5.89-0.39A and B is about 30\% and 25\% larger than their respective stacked source luminosities. Assuming this residual emission is from unresolved stellar sources, the total B-type-equivalent stellar content in G5.89-0.39A and B would be 75 stars, consistent with an earlier estimate of the total stellar mass of hot stars in G5.89-0.39. We have also looked at the variability of the 35 X-ray sources in G5.89-0.39. Ten of these sources are flagged as being variable. Further studies are needed to determine the exact causes of the variability, however the variability could point towards pre-main sequence stars. Such a stellar population could provide sufficient kinetic energy to account for a part of the GeV to TeV gamma-ray emission in the source HESSJ1800-240B.
