摘要:

M16,鹰星云,是一个杰出的HII区域,在人马臂中正在发生广泛的高质量恒星形成,并拥有HST观察到的显着的“柱”。我们用NANTEN 2对~(12)CO J=1- 0和J=2- 1跃迁区域进行了新的CO观测。这些观测首次揭示了一个巨大的$\sim 1.3 \times 10^5$ \Msun \分子云与M16有关,它垂直于银河平面延伸超过35 pc,距离为1.8 kpc。我们发现了一个$\sim 10$ pc直径的分子气体空腔,位于M16的中心\lbeq(16.95 \degree,0.85 \degree),在那里有超过10颗O型星和$\sim 400$星,此外还有一个靠近斯皮策泡N19的分子空腔,位于\lbeq(17.06 \degree,1.0 \degree)。在包括NGC 6611和N19在内的整个M16巨分子云(GMC)中发现了三个空间互补分布的速度分量,表明它们之间存在碰撞作用。基于以上结果,我们提出了一个假设,即在过去的1- 200万年里,在相对于$\sim 10$ \kms的位置上,红移和蓝移成分之间的碰撞触发了M16 GMC中O型星的形成。碰撞是双重的,在这个意义上说,一个碰撞相互作用是主要的M16集群和另一个对N19的RCW 120型,前者触发了大部分的O星形成与几乎完全电离的母气体,后者在N19的O星形成。

英文摘要:

M16, the Eagle Nebula, is an outstanding HII region where extensive high-mass star formation is taking place in the Sagittarius Arm, and hosts the remarkable "pillars" observed with HST. We made new CO observations of the region in the 12CO J=1--0 and J=2--1 transitions with NANTEN2. These observations revealed for the first time that a giant molecular cloud of $\sim 1.3 \times 10^5$ \Msun \ is associated with M16, which is elongated vertically to the Galactic plane over 35 pc at a distance of 1.8 kpc. We found a cavity of the molecular gas of $\sim 10$ pc diameter toward the heart of M16 at \lbeq (16.95\degree, 0.85\degree), where more than 10 O-type stars and $\sim 400$ stars are associated, in addition to a close-by molecular cavity toward a Spitzer bubble N19 at \lbeq (17.06\degree, 1.0\degree). We found three velocity components which show spatially complementary distribution in the entire M16 giant molecular cloud (GMC) including NGC6611 and N19, suggesting collisional interaction between them. Based on the above results we frame a hypothesis that collision between the red-shifted and blue-shifted components at a relative of $\sim 10$ \kms \ triggered formation of the O-type stars in the M16 GMC in the last 1-2 Myr. The collision is two fold in the sense that one of the collisional interactions is major toward the M16 cluster and the other toward N19 with a RCW120 type, the former triggered most of the O star formation with almost full ionization of the parent gas, and the latter an O star formation in N19.
