摘要:

恒星形成于致密的尘埃结构中,这些尘埃结构嵌在较大的分子云团块中,通常在大尺度上(> 1 pc)显示出清晰的尘埃结构。在Hi-GAL调查中研究得最好的区域之一可以在l= 224度的区域观察到。在这里,一个附属区域已经被研究,它已经发现,原恒星团块大多位于沿着主灯丝,而无星团块被检测到离开这个灯丝,而是在次要的,不太突出的灯丝上发现。我们想研究这种分离效应以及它如何影响团块的性质。我们绘制了12 CO(1-0)线和它的主要三个同位素对两个最突出的灯丝观察到的l= 224度领域使用Mopra射电望远镜,为了设置观测约束这些结构的动态和相关的无星和原恒星团块。与无星团块相比,原恒星团块更明亮,更动荡,并且位于周围气体显示更大线宽的区域。我们看到了气体沿着主灯丝流动的证据,但我们没有发现任何从灯丝到Hi-GAL团块的吸积流的迹象。我们分析了暗条的径向柱密度分布和它们的引力稳定性。更大的质量和高度分散的主灯丝似乎是热超临界和引力约束,假设所有的非热运动都有助于热的支持,这表明与次级灯丝相比,进化的后期阶段。然后,Hi-GAL团块的状态和进化阶段似乎与宿主细丝的状态和进化阶段相关。

英文摘要:

Stars form in dense, dusty structures, which are embedded in larger clumps of molecular clouds often showing a clear filamentary structure on large scales (> 1pc). One of the best-studied regions in the Hi-GAL survey can be observed toward the l=224deg field. Here, a filamentary region has been studied and it has been found that protostellar clumps are mostly located along the main filament, whereas starless clumps are detected off this filament and are instead found on secondary, less prominent filaments. We want to investigate this segregation effect and how it may affect the clumps properties. We mapped the 12CO(1-0) line and its main three isotopologues toward the two most prominent filaments observed toward the l=224deg field using the Mopra radio telescope, in order to set observational constraints on the dynamics of these structures and the associated starless and protostellar clumps. Compared to the starless clumps, the protostellar clumps are more luminous, more turbulent and lie in regions where the filamentary ambient gas shows larger linewidths. We see evidence of gas flowing along the main filament, but we do not find any signs of accretion flow from the filament onto the Hi-GAL clumps. We analyze the radial column density profile of the filaments and their gravitational stability. The more massive and highly fragmented main filament appears to be thermally supercritical and gravitationally bound, assuming that all of the non-thermal motion is contributing thermal-like support, suggesting a later stage of evolution compared to the secondary filament. The status and evolutionary phase of the Hi-GAL clumps would then appear to correlate with that of the host filament.
