摘要:

高度准直的秒差距尺度喷流,通常与吸积盘的存在有关,是从揭示的低质量年轻恒星物体中经常观察到的现象。在过去的二十年中,只有极少数的这些物体被直接(或间接)观测到朝向高质量(M > 8 M $_{\odot}$)的年轻恒星物体,增加了越来越多的证据表明,盘介导的吸积是一种也发生在高质量恒星中的现象,其形成机制仍然知之甚少。在观测到的来自大质量年轻恒星的喷流中,没有一个处于光学区域(由于这些喷流通常被其原生物质高度遮蔽),并且在银河系之外也没有发现。在这里,我们报告的检测HH 1177,第一个河外光学电离喷流起源于一个巨大的年轻恒星位于大麦云云对象。射流在至少10 pc的整个测量范围内高度准直,并具有双极几何形状。喷流的存在表明正在进行的盘介导的吸积,加上高度的准直,因此这个系统很可能是低质量恒星形成的放大版本。我们的结论是,管理喷流发射和准直的物理是独立的恒星质量。

英文摘要:

Highly collimated parsec-scale jets, generally linked to the presence of an accretion disk, are a commonly observed phenomenon from revealed low-mass young stellar objects. In the past two decades, only a very few of these objects have been directly (or indirectly) observed towards high-mass (M > 8 M$_{\odot}$) young stellar objects, adding to the growing evidence that disk-mediated accretion is a phenomenon also occurring in high-mass stars, the formation mechanism of which is still poorly understood. Of the observed jets from massive young stars, none is in the optical regime (due to these being typically highly obscured by their native material), and none are found outside of the Milky Way. Here, we report the detection of HH 1177, the first extragalactic optical ionized jet originating from a massive young stellar object located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The jet is highly collimated over the entire measured extent of at least 10 pc, and has a bipolar geometry. The presence of a jet indicates ongoing, disk-mediated accretion, and together with the high degree of collimation, this system is therefore likely to be an up-scaled version of low-mass star formation. We conclude that the physics governing jet launching and collimation is independent of stellar mass.
