摘要:

我们在H42 α复合线上进行了“银河系中心微型螺旋(GCMS)”的观测,这是使用阿塔卡玛毫米/亚毫米阵列(ALMA)在人马座A复合体中进行的第一次大规模镶嵌观测的一部分。我们揭示了GCMS的电离气体流的运动学。我们发现,电离气体流的北臂(NA)和东臂(EA)在其外部区域有点偏离开普勒轨道,这是以前从内部区域的轨迹。此外,我们还发现,与GCMS棒相对应的流束有一个与GCMS其它流束的开普勒轨道无关的开普勒轨道,其偏心率为e~0.8。我们估计了电离气体流中的LTE电子温度和电子密度。我们证实了先前声称的电子温度向Sgr A* 增加的趋势。我们发现,在NA和EA中的电子密度也随着接近Sgr A* 而增加,而没有气体流光的横向膨胀。这表明GCMS周围存在一些外部压力。周围的电离气体可能会导致轨道的约束和/或扰动。有一个很好的位置之间的相关性,由JVLA在34 GHz和电离气体流光,东北臂,我们的H42 α复合线观测新发现的原恒星候选人。这表明候选物已经在拖缆中形成,并且随着拖缆下降,它们被带到Sgr A* 附近。

英文摘要:

We have performed the observation of the "Galactic Center Mini-spiral(GCMS)" in H42alpha recombination line as a part of the first large-scale mosaic observation in the Sagittarius A complex using Atacama Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA). We revealed the kinematics of the ionized gas streamers of the GCMS. We found that the ionized gas streamers of the Northern Arm(NA) and Eastern Arm(EA) in their outer regions somewhat deviate from the Keplerian orbits which were derived previously from the trajectories in the inner regions. In addition, we found that the streamer corresponding to the Bar of the GCMS has a Keplerian orbit with an eccentricity of e~0.8, which is independent from the Keplerian orbits of the other streamers of the GCMS. We estimated the LTE electron temperature and electron density in the ionized gas streamers. We confirmed the previously claimed tendency that the electron temperatures increase toward Sgr A*. We found that the electron density in the NA and EA also increases with approaching Sgr A* without the lateral expansion of the gas streamers. This suggests that there is some external pressure around the GCMS. The ambient ionized gas may cause the confinement and/or the perturbation for the orbits. There is a good positional correlation between the protostar candidates detected by JVLA at 34 GHz and the ionized gas streamer, Northeastern Arm, newly found by our H42alpha recombination line observation. This suggests that the candidates had formed in the streamer and they were brought to near Sgr A* as the streamer falls.
