摘要:

本文报道了用卡尔G. Jansky甚大阵列(VLA); 56个场中有24个显示出脉泽发射。这些数据使我们能够证明协会,在角秒精度,I类脉泽排放与流出,HII地区,和冲击跟踪4.5微米的排放。我们发现,共有83个脉泽组件的线宽范围从0.17至3.3公里秒$^{-1}$与近平坦的分布和一个中位数值为1.1公里秒$^{-1}$。脉泽相对于宿主云系统速度的相对速度范围从$-$ 2.5到3.1 km s $^{-1}$,分布峰值接近零。我们还研究了脉泽之间的相关性和所谓的扩展绿色物体(EGO)从GLIMPSE调查。在每个领域的多个来源,揭示了从红外图像以及从VLA档案数据厘米连续发射,在大多数情况下,44 GHz脉泽的位置相关的EGO似乎跟踪在外地的年轻来源。我们报告一个可能的情况下,44 GHz脉泽与低质量原恒星。如果得到证实,这个区域将是第五个已知的恒星形成区域,拥有与低质量原恒星相关的I类脉泽。我们讨论三种可能的情况下,微波激射器的可变性。

英文摘要:

We present a survey of 56 massive star-forming regions in the 44 GHz methanol maser transition made with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA); 24 of the 56 fields showed maser emission. The data allow us to demonstrate associations, at arcsecond precision, of the Class I maser emission with outflows, HII regions, and shocks traced by 4.5 micron emission. We find a total of 83 maser components with linewidths ranging from 0.17 to 3.3 km s$^{-1}$ with a nearly flat distribution and a median value of 1.1 km s$^{-1}$. The relative velocities of the masers with respect to the systemic velocity of the host clouds range from $-$2.5 to 3.1 km s$^{-1}$ with a distribution peaking near zero. We also study the correlation between the masers and the so-called extended green objects (EGOs) from the GLIMPSE survey. Multiple sources in each field are revealed from IR images as well as from centimeter continuum emission from VLA archival data; in the majority of cases the 44 GHz masers are positionally correlated with EGOs which seem to trace the younger sources in the fields. We report a possible instance of a 44 GHz maser associated with a low-mass protostar. If confirmed, this region will be the fifth known star-forming region that hosts Class I masers associated with low-mass protostars. We discuss three plausible cases of maser variability.
