在近红外到亚毫米波长的时间光度变化已经在低质量的年轻恒星物体中发现。这些现象通常被解释为具有不同吸积率的星盘系统的吸积事件。越来越多的证据表明,类似的光度闪耀也发生在高质量恒星/星团形成区域。本文报道了用亚毫米波阵和阿塔卡玛大型毫米波/亚毫米波阵在大质量恒星形成区S255 IR ~ SMA 1观测到的900 $μ$ m连续辐射和新发现的349.1 GHz甲醇脉泽辐射的起伏。在亚毫米波段的$\sim$ 2因子的通量变化水平和相对较短的2年的持续时间表明,该事件可能是类似于在三维数值模拟中看到的那些温和和更频繁的小爆发。
英文摘要:
Temporal photometric variations at near infrared to submillimeter wavelengths have been found in low-mass young stellar objects. These phenomena are generally interpreted as accretion events of star-disk systems with varying accretion rates. There is growing evidence suggesting that similar luminosity flaring also occurs in high-mass star/cluster-forming regions. We report in this Letter the rise and fall of the 900 $μ$m continuum emission and the newly found 349.1 GHz methanol maser emission in the massive star forming region S255IR~SMA1 observed with the Submillimeter Array and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. The level of flux variation at a factor of $\sim$ 2 at the submillimeter band and the relatively short 2-year duration of this burst suggest that the event is probably similar to those milder and more frequent minor bursts seen in 3D numerical simulations.
We present a demographic analysis of the physical and morphological properties of $450/850~μ\rm m$-selected galaxies from the deep observations of the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey in the Extended Groth Strip that are detected below the classical submillimeter-galaxy regime ($S_{850 μ\rm m}\lesssim 6~\rm mJy$/beam) and compare them with a sample of optically-selected star-forming galaxies detected in the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey in the same field. We derive the evolution of the main sequence of star-forming galaxies, finding a steeper specific star forma…
BLAST: The Mass Function, Lifetimes, and Properties of Intermediate Mass Cores from a 50 Square Degree Submillimeter Galactic Survey in Vela (l = ~265)
我们首先介绍了2006年搭载于月球上的大口径亚毫米波望远镜(BLAST)在250、350和500微米处对50度^2亚毫米波银河系进行的无偏巡天观测的结果。该地图的分辨率范围从36角秒到60角秒,在三个亚毫米波段跨越冷无星核心的热发射峰。我们确定的温度,光度和质量的一千多个紧凑的来源在一系列的进化阶段和人口的无偏统计特征。通过与C^(18)O数据的比较,我们发现在250微米处,每气体质量的尘埃不透明度kappa r = 0.16 cm ^2 g^(-1)。我们发现,在这个不同的区域中,分子气体质量的2%是在低于14 K的核心中,并且这些冷核心的质量函数在14 M_sun < M < 80 M_sun的质量范围内符合指数α = -3.22 +/- 0.14的幂律。此外,我们推断冷核的质量依赖寿命为t_c(M)= 4 E6(M/20 M_sun)^(-0.9)年--比以前对低质量或高质量核的调查中发现的要长,并且明显长于自由降落或可能的湍流衰变时间。这意味着在恒星形成的早期阶段,冷核有某种形式的非热支持。
Submillimeter Class II methanol masers near the massive protostar S255IR NIRS3: evolution and excitation of the $J_1 -J_0$ A$^{-+}$ series and a new maser line at 345.919 GHz
We report the properties of molecular gas in a sample of six host galaxies of fast radio bursts (FRBs) obtained from CO observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (FRBs 20180924B, 20190102C, and 20190711A) and results of one non-detection in a dwarf galaxy (FRB20121102A) and two events detected in M81 (FRB20200120E) and the Milky Way (FRB20200428A). The CO observations resulted in the detection of CO(3-2) emission in the FRB20180924B host and non-detections of CO(3-2) and CO(2-1) emission in the hosts of FRB20190102C and FRB20190711A, respectively. The derived molecular…
We present the four-year survey results of monthly submillimeter monitoring of eight nearby ($< 500 $pc) star-forming regions by the JCMT Transient Survey. We apply the Lomb-Scargle Periodogram technique to search for and characterize variability on 295 submillimeter peaks brighter than 0.14 Jy beam$^{-1}$, including 22 disk sources (Class II), 83 protostars (Class 0/I), and 190 starless sources. We uncover 18 secular variables, all of them protostars. No single-epoch burst or drop events and no inherently stochastic sources are observed. We classify the secular variables by their timescales i…
