摘要:

年轻大质量星团(YMC)和超级星团(SSC)代表了恒星形成的极端模式。麦哲伦云的远红外成像已经确定了一个潜在的嵌入式SSC,HSO BMHERICC J72.971176-69.391112(简称HH),位于大麦云的西南郊区。我们提出双子座火烈鸟2和GSAOI近红外成像的3 'x3'区域周围HH为了表征恒星的集群内容。恒星的含量被探测到1.5 Msun。我们发现大量的尘埃灭绝整个集群区域,扩展到A_K的3。深埋的恒星与ALMA探测到的分子气体有关,这表明恒星正在形成。GSAOI数据的高空间分辨率允许识别与13 CO ALMA观测相关的中心大质量天体,并检测H30 α ALMA源周围较暗的低质量恒星。分子气体的形态和来自相邻恒星形成的星云状物质表明它们相互作用覆盖了几pc的区域。根据中等质量和高质量恒星的含量估计,该星团的总恒星含量至少为10000 Msun,小于R136,在4.7 pc半径内可达100000 Msun,但将其置于超级星团的区域。根据个别恒星的消光测定,我们估计HH附近的分子气体质量为6600 Msun,这表明可以预期会有更多的恒星形成。

英文摘要:

Young Massive Clusters (YMCs) and Super Star Clusters (SSCs) represent an extreme mode of star formation. Far-infrared imaging of the Magellanic Clouds has identified one potential embedded SSC, HSO BMHERICC J72.971176-69.391112 (HH in short), in the south-west outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud. We present Gemini Flamingos 2 and GSAOI near-infrared imaging of a 3'x3' region around HH in order to characterize the stellar content of the cluster. The stellar content is probed down to 1.5 Msun. We find substantial dust extinction across the cluster region, extending up to A_K of 3. Deeply embedded stars are associated with ALMA-detected molecular gas suggesting that star formation is ongoing. The high spatial resolution of the GSAOI data allows identification of the central massive object associated with the 13CO ALMA observations and to detect fainter low-mass stars around the H30alpha ALMA source. The morphology of the molecular gas and the nebulosity from adjacent star formation suggest they have interacted covering a region of several pc. The total stellar content in the cluster is estimated from the intermediate- and high-mass stellar content to be at least 10000 Msun, less than R136 with up to 100 000 Msun within 4.7 pc radius, but places it in the regime of a super star cluster. Based on the extinction determination of individual stars we estimate a molecular gas mass in the vicinity of HH of 6600 Msun, suggesting more star formation can be expected.
