船底座星云中五颗具有候选尘埃弓形激波的OB星的自行

Proper motions of five OB stars with candidate dusty bow shocks in the Carina Nebula

摘要:

我们约束的自行车的五个OB星的候选人在船底座星云的恒星风弓冲击使用HST ACS成像超过9- 10年的基线。这些自行使我们能够直接比较每颗恒星的运动与其候选弓形激波的方向。虽然这些恒星在我们的成像中是饱和的,但我们通过使艾里环中的残差最小化所需的位移来评估它们的运动。结果将每颗恒星的运动方向限制在小于90度宽的扇区内。这五颗恒星都没有像逃逸恒星那样远离船底座星云的中央星团,这证实了候选的弓形激波并不一定是逃逸恒星的标志。五颗恒星中有两颗相对于它们的候选弓形激波的方向切向移动,这两颗恒星都指向OB星团Trumpler 14。在这些情况下,大规模的星际介质流,从集群的反馈供电,似乎占主导地位的运动的恒星在生产所观察到的候选弓激波。剩下的三颗恒星都有一些朝向中央星团的运动分量,这意味着我们无法区分它们的候选弓形激波是恒星运动的指示,环境气体的流动,还是周围环境的密度梯度。此外,这些恒星没有向外运动,暗示船底座南柱区域的分散恒星群是在原地形成的,而不是从该协会的中心星团迁移出来。

英文摘要:

We constrain the proper motions of five OB stars associated with candidate stellar wind bow shocks in the Carina Nebula using HST ACS imaging over 9--10 year baselines. These proper motions allow us to directly compare each star's motion to the orientation of its candidate bow shock. Although these stars are saturated in our imaging, we assess their motion by the shifts required to minimize residuals in their Airy rings. The results limit the direction of each star's motion to sectors less than 90 degrees wide. None of the five stars are moving away from the Carina Nebula's central clusters as runaway stars would be, confirming that a candidate bow shock is not necessarily indicative of a runaway star. Two of the five stars are moving tangentially relative to the orientation of their candidate bow shocks, both of which point at the OB cluster Trumpler 14. In these cases, the large-scale flow of the interstellar medium, powered by feedback from the cluster, appears to dominate over the motion of the star in producing the observed candidate bow shock. The remaining three stars all have some component of motion toward the central clusters, meaning that we cannot distinguish whether their candidate bow shocks are indicators of stellar motion, of the flow of ambient gas, or of density gradients in their surroundings. In addition, these stars' lack of outward motion hints that the distributed massive-star population in Carina's South Pillars region formed in place, rather than migrating out from the association's central clusters.
