摘要:

我们报告的结果6.7 GHz的甲醇脉泽监测139恒星形成的网站与托伦32米射电望远镜从2009年6月至2013年2月。每个月至少观测一次目标,对绕极物体的观测频率较高,每周2-4次。近80%的来源显示变异性大于10%的时间尺度之间的一个星期和几年,但约四分之三的样本只有1-3光谱特征,变化显着。不规则的强度波动是变化的主要类型,只有9个对象显示出周期为120至416天的周期变化的证据。同步和反相关变化的脉泽功能检测在四个源与盘状形态。在5个震源中,可看到3-5次个别特征的快速和高振幅爆发。长(>50天至20个月)持续爆发主要是在19个源的个人或团体的功能,只有一个源经历了一个显着的全球耀斑。一些耀斑的功能显示强度和线宽之间的强反相关性,预计不饱和放大。脉泽特征光度与变率测度之间存在弱的反相关,即低光度的脉泽特征比高光度的脉泽特征更易变。光谱能量分布和连续射电辐射的分析表明,微波激射特征的可变性增加时,热光度和莱曼流量的激发对象的减少。我们的研究结果支持的概念的一个主要作用,红外泵浦光子触发脉泽发射的爆发活动。

英文摘要:

We report results of 6.7 GHz methanol maser monitoring of 139 star-forming sites with the Torun 32 m radio telescope from June 2009 to February 2013. The targets were observed at least once a month, with higher cadences of 2-4 measurements per week for circumpolar objects. Nearly 80 percent of the sources display variability greater than 10 per cent on a time-scale between a week and a few years but about three quarters of the sample have only 1-3 spectral features which vary significantly. Irregular intensity fluctuation is the dominant type of variability and only nine objects show evidence for cyclic variations with periods of 120 to 416 d. Synchronised and anti-correlated variations of maser features are detected in four sources with a disc-like morphology. Rapid and high amplitude bursts of individual features are seen on 3-5 occasions in five sources. Long (>50 d to 20 months) lasting bursts are observed mostly for individual or groups of features in 19 sources and only one source experienced a remarkable global flare. A few flaring features display a strong anti-correlation between intensity and line-width that is expected for unsaturated amplification. There is a weak anti-correlation between the maser feature luminosity and variability measure, i.e. maser features with low luminosity tend to be more variable than those with high luminosity. The analysis of the spectral energy distribution and continuum radio emission reveals that the variability of the maser features increases when the bolometric luminosity and Lyman flux of the exciting object decreases. Our results support the concept of a major role for infrared pumping photons in triggering outburst activity of maser emission.
