摘要:

本文介绍了利用大毫米波望远镜上的AzTEC测辐射热计相机对1度^2区域内1.1毫米尘埃连续辐射进行的灵敏成像观测。基于维纳优化滤波器构造了一个包含1545个紧凑源的星表。这些来源与Bolocam银河平面调查中发现的更大的团块结构有关。氢柱密度计算的所有来源和质量和平均体积密度的来源的子集,可以分配的运动学距离。AzTEC源是在分子云的巨大团块内的局部的高密度峰值,并且占团块质量的5-15%。我们研究的引力不稳定性的作用,在产生这些碎片通过比较嵌入的AzTEC源的母BGPS对象的牛仔裤质量的质量。对于距离小于6千秒差距的源,尽管等温马赫数在1.6和7.2之间,但碎片质量与团块金斯质量相当。与超紧凑HII区域相关的AzTEC源的质量表面密度大于具有高质量恒星形成的红外暗云的质量-尺寸关系所暗示的临界值,而与II类甲醇脉泽相关的AzTEC源的质量表面密度大于0.7 g cm^{-2},接近形成大质量恒星所需的建议阈值。

英文摘要:

Sensitive, imaging observations of the 1.1 mm dust continuum emission from a 1 deg^2 area collected with the AzTEC bolometer camera on the Large Millimeter Telescope are presented. A catalog of 1545 compact sources is constructed based on a Wiener-optimization filter. These sources are linked to larger clump structures identified in the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey. Hydrogen column densities are calculated for all sources and mass and mean volume densities are derived for the subset of sources for which kinematic distances can be assigned. The AzTEC sources are localized, high density peaks within the massive clumps of molecular clouds and comprise 5-15% of the clump mass. We examine the role of the gravitational instability in generating these fragments by comparing the mass of embedded AzTEC sources to the Jeans' mass of the parent BGPS object. For sources with distances less than 6 kpc the fragment masses are comparable to the clump Jeans' mass, despite having isothermal Mach numbers between 1.6 and 7.2. AzTEC sources linked to ultra-compact HII regions have mass surface densities greater than the critical value implied by the mass-size relationship of infrared dark clouds with high mass star formation while AzTEC sources associated with Class II methanol masers have mass surface densities greater than 0.7 g cm^{-2} that approaches the proposed threshold required to form massive stars.
