摘要:

我们试图从视觉上对18190个分子云的形态进行分类,这些分子云是在银河系成像卷轴绘画项目(MWISP)的银河系第二象限$^{2}$的$\sim$ 450度的$^{12}$ CO(1-0)谱线数据中确定的。利用$^{12}$ CO(1-0)发射的速度积分强度图,首先将分子云分为未分辨的和已分辨的两类。被解析的云被进一步分类为非细丝或细丝。在18190个分子云中,有$\sim$ 25个$\%$未被分辨,$\sim$ 64个$\%$为非丝状,$\sim$ 11个$\%$为丝状。从整个18190分子云的$^{12}$ CO(1-0)谱的积分通量来看,$\sim$ 90 $\%$来自细丝,$\sim$ 9 $\%$来自非细丝,其余$\sim$ 1 $\%$来自未分辨源。虽然非细丝在离散分子云的数量中占主导地位,但细丝是$^{12}$ CO排放通量的主要贡献者。给出了分子云物理参数的数值分布,包括分子云的角尺寸、速度跨度、$^{12}$ CO(1-0)发射峰强度和$^{12}$ CO(1-0)总通量。我们发现,有一个系统的角度大小之间的差异的非细丝和细丝,与细丝往往有更大的角度尺度。它们的H $_{2}$柱密度差异不显著。我们还讨论了观测效应,如有限的空间分辨率,光束稀释和视线投影,在我们的样品中的分子云的形态分类。

英文摘要:

We attempt to visually classify the morphologies of 18190 molecular clouds, which are identified in the $^{12}$CO(1-0) spectral line data over $\sim$ 450 deg$^{2}$ of the second Galactic quadrant from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting project (MWISP). Using the velocity-integrated intensity maps of the $^{12}$CO(1-0) emission, molecular clouds are first divided into unresolved and resolved ones. The resolved clouds are further classified as non-filaments or filaments. Among the 18190 molecular clouds, $\sim$ 25 $\%$ are unresolved, $\sim$ 64$\%$ are non-filaments, and $\sim$ 11$\%$ are filaments. In the terms of the integrated flux of $^{12}$CO(1-0) spectra of the whole 18190 molecular clouds, $\sim$ 90$\%$ are from filaments, $\sim$ 9$\%$ are from non-filaments, and the rest $\sim$ 1$\%$ are from unresolved sources. Although non-filaments are dominant in the number of the discrete molecular clouds, filaments are the main contributor of $^{12}$CO emission flux. We also present the number distributions of physical parameters of the molecular clouds in our catalog, including their angular sizes, velocity spans, peak intensities of $^{12}$CO(1-0) emission, and $^{12}$CO(1-0) total fluxes. We find that there is a systematic difference between the angular sizes of the non-filaments and filaments, with the filaments tending to have larger angular scales. The H$_{2}$ column densities of them are not significantly different. We also discuss the observational effects, such as those induced by the finite spatial resolution, beam dilution and line-of-sight projection, on the morphological classification of molecular clouds in our sample.
