摘要:

我们的目标是揭示加州分子云(CMC)核心的物理性质和化学组成,以便更好地了解恒星形成的初始条件。我们用Herschel数据制作了一个高分辨率的柱密度图(18.2”),并用\textsl{fellwalker}算法提取了CMC中岩心的完整样本。我们进行了新的单点观测的分子线90 GHz附近的IRAM 30米望远镜沿主灯丝的CMC。此外,我们还进行了数值模拟的化学演化的核心下的物理条件。我们提取了300个核心,其中33个是原恒星核心,267个是无星核心。星前核约占无星核的51%(137/267)。三个核心有可能演化成高质量恒星。星前核质量函数(CMF)可用对数正态形式拟合。星前CMF的高质量端表现出幂律形式,其指数$α=-0.9\pm 0.1$比银河场恒星质量函数的指数浅。结合星前核到恒星的质量转换效率($15\pm 1\%$)和5.5%的核形成效率(CFE),我们认为CMC的整体恒星形成效率约为1%.在IRAM 30 m望远镜单点观测中,发现6个岩心的剖面呈蓝斜,4个岩心的剖面呈红斜。原星核的[ $\rm {HCO}^{+}$ ]/[HNC]和[ $\rm {HCO}^{+}$ ]/ $\rm [N_{2}H^{+}]$比星前核高,可作为化学钟。用线性观测得到的岩心最佳化学年龄为$\sim 5\times 10^4$ ~年。

英文摘要:

We aim to reveal the physical properties and chemical composition of the cores in the California molecular cloud (CMC), so as to better understand the initial conditions of star formation. We made a high-resolution column density map (18.2") with Herschel data, and extracted a complete sample of the cores in the CMC with the \textsl{fellwalker} algorithm. We performed new single-pointing observations of molecular lines near 90 GHz with the IRAM 30m telescope along the main filament of the CMC. In addition, we also performed a numerical modeling of chemical evolution for the cores under the physical conditions. We extracted 300 cores, of which 33 are protostellar and 267 are starless cores. About 51\% (137 of 267) of the starless cores are prestellar cores. Three cores have the potential to evolve into high-mass stars. The prestellar core mass function (CMF) can be well fit by a log-normal form. The high-mass end of the prestellar CMF shows a power-law form with an index $α=-0.9\pm 0.1$ that is shallower than that of the Galactic field stellar mass function. Combining the mass transformation efficiency ($\varepsilon$) from the prestellar core to the star of $15\pm 1\%$ and the core formation efficiency (CFE) of 5.5\%, we suggest an overall star formation efficiency of about 1\% in the CMC. In the single-pointing observations with the IRAM 30m telescope, we find that 6 cores show blue-skewed profile, while 4 cores show red-skewed profile. [$\rm {HCO}^{+}$]/[HNC] and [$\rm {HCO}^{+}$]/$\rm [N_{2}H^{+}]$ in protostellar cores are higher than those in prestellar cores; this can be used as chemical clocks. The best-fit chemical age of the cores with line observations is $\sim 5\times 10^4$~years.
