摘要:

上下文在1.4 mm和0.2“(750 au)角分辨率下对大质量恒星形成区G31.41+0.31主核的ALMA观测揭示了一个令人困惑的现象:一方面,连续辐射看起来非常均匀,核似乎经历了固体旋转,表明一个由磁场稳定的整体核;另一方面,旋转和下沉加速向核心中心,在那里已经检测到两个大规模嵌入式自由-自由连续源,指出一个不稳定的核心经历了分裂。目的。为了确定主核是否确实是单片的,或者其均匀的外观是由于大的尘埃不透明度和低的角分辨率的组合,我们在更高的角分辨率和不同的波长进行了毫米观测。方法.我们在1.4 mm和3.5 mm处进行了ALMA观测,分别获得了0.1“(375 au)和0.075”(280 au)的角分辨率。还分别以更高的角分辨率,0.05“(190 au)和0.07”(260 au),在7 mm和1.3 cm处进行了VLA观测,以更好地研究在核心中检测到的自由-自由连续源的性质。结果主核的毫米连续辐射在1“内被清楚地分解为至少四个源,A、B、C和D,这表明主核不是单片的。这些源的尘埃辐射的去卷积半径为400- 500 au,质量为15 - 26 Msun,数密度为几个1 E9 cm-3。源A和B,位于更接近核心的中心,并由750 AU分开,显然与两个自由-自由连续源,可能是热射电喷流,是最明亮的核心。这两个源的光谱能量分布以及它们的质量和大小是相似的,表明它们有共同的起源。

英文摘要:

Context. ALMA observations at 1.4 mm and 0.2'' (750au) angular resolution of the Main core in the high-mass star forming region G31.41+0.31 have revealed a puzzling scenario: on the one hand, the continuum emission looks very homogeneous and the core appears to undergo solid-body rotation, suggesting a monolithic core stabilized by the magnetic field; on the other hand, rotation and infall speed up toward the core center, where two massive embedded free-free continuum sources have been detected, pointing to an unstable core having undergone fragmentation. Aims. To establish whether the Main core is indeed monolithic or its homogeneous appearance is due to a combination of large dust opacity and low angular resolution, we carried out millimeter observations at higher angular resolution and different wavelengths. Methods. We carried out ALMA observations at 1.4 mm and 3.5 mm that achieved angular resolutions of 0.1''(375 au) and 0.075'' (280 au), respectively. VLA observations at 7 mm and 1.3 cm at even higher angular resolution, 0.05'' (190 au) and 0.07'' (260 au), respectively, were also carried out to better study the nature of the free-free continuum sources detected in the core. Results. The millimeter continuum emission of the Main core has been clearly resolved into at least four sources, A, B, C, and D, within 1'', indicating that the core is not monolithic. The deconvolved radii of the dust emission of the sources, estimated at 3.5 mm, are 400-500au, their masses range from 15 to 26 Msun, and their number densities are several 1E9 cm-3. Sources A and B, located closer to the center of the core and separated by 750 au, are clearly associated with two free-free continuum sources, likely thermal radio jets, and are the brightest in the core. The spectral energy distribution of these two sources and their masses and sizes are similar and suggest a common origin.
