摘要:

我们提出了43 GHz的VLA光谱的51 AGB源的目标验证红外(IR)的颜色切割旨在分离富碳(C)和富氧(O)AGB源在整个银河系。颜色切割是基于2 MASS和MSX光度测定的$[K_s]-[A]$与$[A]-[E]$颜色-颜色图中的一条简单线,最初是从膨胀不对称和动态演化(BAaDE)样品中的SiO检测率得出的。该划分是完全支持的光谱,这表明,SiO脉泽检测位于富O侧,SiO nondetectors和一个单一的HC $_3$ N检测发现富C侧的划分。我们进一步比较的颜色切割与分类的源的基础上低分辨率光谱(LRS)从红外天文卫星(IRAS),并找到良好的协议,验证了该部门是一个可靠的和有效的方法来区分O-和C-丰富的AGB源。这些观测还表明,BAaDE勘测中在42.9 GHz附近检测到的单线几乎肯定是$^{29}$ SiO v=0线。这种罕见的同位素跃迁比占主导地位的$^{28}$ SiO线更亮的SiO脉泽源以前没有报道过,我们的观察表明,这些源可以逆转它们的行为,使$^{28}$ SiO和$^{29}$ SiO的典型比例在几年内恢复。

英文摘要:

We present 43 GHz VLA spectra for 51 AGB sources with the goal of verifying an infrared (IR) color cut intended to separate Carbon-rich (C) and Oxygen-rich (O) AGB sources throughout the Galaxy. The color cut is a simple line in the $[K_s]-[A]$ versus $[A]-[E]$ color-color diagram based on 2MASS and MSX photometry, and was originally derived from SiO detection rates in the Bulge Asymmetries and Dynamical Evolution (BAaDE) sample. The division is fully supported by the spectra presented here, which show that SiO maser detections lie on the O-rich side, and SiO nondetections and a single HC$_3$N detection are found on the C-rich side of the division. We further compare the color cut with classifications of the sources based on Low-Resolution Spectra (LRS) from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), and find good agreement, verifying that the division is a reliable and efficient method for differentiating O- and C-rich AGB sources. These observations also demonstrate that single lines detected in the BAaDE survey around 42.9 GHz are almost certainly the $^{29}$SiO v=0 line. SiO maser sources where this rare isotopologue transition is brighter than the dominant $^{28}$SiO lines have not been reported before, and our observations show that these sources can reverse their behavior such that the typical ratios of $^{28}$SiO and $^{29}$SiO are restored within a few years.
