摘要:

气体和原恒星在分子云中的不均匀分布是由各种难以分离的物理过程的组合造成的。我们探索这种非均匀分布在M17分子云复杂的主机大质量的恒星形成活动使用$^{12}$ CO($J=1-0$)和$^{13}$ CO($J=1-0$)的发射线与Nobeyama 45米望远镜。质量、大小和引力束缚性等团块性质的差异反映了M17-H{ \scriptsize II}和M17-IRDC云演化阶段的不同。M17-H{ \scriptsize II}云中的团块比M17-IRDC中的团块更致密、更紧凑、更受引力束缚。虽然M17-H{ \scriptsize II}拥有大部分非常致密的气体(27\%),其柱密度大于理论上预测的大质量恒星形成的$\sim$ 1 g cm $^{-2}$阈值,但这种非常致密的气体在M17-IRDC中不足(0.46\%)。我们用TRAO 14 m望远镜对HCO $^+$($J=1-0$)和HCN($J=1-0$)进行了观测,{ \nlqb追踪柱密度大于$3\times 10^{22}$ cm $^{-2}$的所有气体},证实了M 17-IRDC中高密度($\gtrsim 10^5$ cm $^{-3}$)气体的缺乏。虽然M17-IRDC的质量足以形成大质量恒星,但它缺乏非常致密的气体和引力束缚的团块可以解释目前缺乏大质量恒星的形成。

英文摘要:

The non-uniform distribution of gas and protostars in molecular clouds is caused by combinations of various physical processes that are difficult to separate. We explore this non-uniform distribution in the M17 molecular cloud complex that hosts massive star formation activity using the $^{12}$CO ($J=1-0$) and $^{13}$CO ($J=1-0$) emission lines obtained with the Nobeyama 45m telescope. Differences in clump properties such as mass, size, and gravitational boundedness reflect the different evolutionary stages of the M17-H{\scriptsize II} and M17-IRDC clouds. Clumps in the M17-H{\scriptsize II} cloud are denser, more compact, and more gravitationally bound than those in M17-IRDC. While M17-H{\scriptsize II} hosts a large fraction of very dense gas (27\%) that has column density larger than the threshold of $\sim$ 1 g cm$^{-2}$ theoretically predicted for massive star formation, this very dense gas is deficient in M17-IRDC (0.46\%). Our HCO$^+$ ($J=1-0$) and HCN ($J=1-0$) observations with the TRAO 14m telescope, {\nlqb trace all gas with column density higher than $3\times 10^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$}, confirm the deficiency of high density ($\gtrsim 10^5$ cm$^{-3}$) gas in M17-IRDC. Although M17-IRDC is massive enough to potentially form massive stars, its deficiency of very dense gas and gravitationally bound clumps can explain the current lack of massive star formation.
