摘要:

我们提出了高空间分辨率的观测基态OH脉泽,实现了使用澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列(ATCA)。这些观测是对171个指向中心进行的,在那里,OH脉泽候选者先前在南帕克斯大面积氢氧巡天(SPLASH)中被确定为朝向银河系中心区域,位于银河系赤道$355^{\circ}$和$5^{\circ}$与银河系纬度$-2^{\circ}$和$+2^{\circ}$之间。我们检测到脉泽发射对162个目标领域,并建议6出9个未检测到的是由于固有的变异。由于后续ATCA观测的优越空间分辨率,我们已经确定了356 OH脉泽网站在162个目标领域的脉泽探测。几乎一半(356个中的161个)的脉泽地点是首次在这些观测中被发现的。在将这356个脉泽地点的位置与文献进行比较后,我们发现269个(76%)地点与演化恒星有关(其中两个是行星状星云),31个(9%)与恒星形成有关,4个与超新星遗迹有关,我们无法确定其余52个(15%)地点的起源。与先导区(\citealt{Qie2016a})不同,在1612 MHz跃迁中,脉泽剖面对称的演化星点的红外色与脉泽剖面不对称的演化星点的红外色没有明显的差别。

英文摘要:

We present high spatial resolution observations of ground-state OH masers, achieved using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). These observations were conducted towards 171 pointing centres, where OH maser candidates were identified previously in the Southern Parkes Large-Area Survey in Hydroxyl (SPLASH) towards the Galactic Center region, between Galactic longitudes of $355^{\circ}$ and $5^{\circ}$ and Galactic latitudes of $-2^{\circ}$ and $+2^{\circ}$. We detect maser emission towards 162 target fields and suggest that 6 out of 9 non-detections are due to intrinsic variability. Due to the superior spatial resolution of the follow-up ATCA observations, we have identified 356 OH maser sites in the 162 of the target fields with maser detections. Almost half (161 of 356) of these maser sites have been detected for the first time in these observations. After comparing the positions of these 356 maser sites to the literature, we find that 269 (76\%) sites are associated with evolved stars (two of which are planetary nebulae), 31 (9\%) are associated with star formation, four are associated with supernova remnants and we were unable to determine the origin of the remaining 52 (15\%) sites. Unlike the pilot region (\citealt{Qie2016a}), the infrared colors of evolved star sites with symmetric maser profiles in the 1612 MHz transition do not show obvious differences compared with those of evolved star sites with asymmetric maser profiles.
