摘要:

G31.41+0.31(G31)热分子核(HMC)是一个高质量的原星系团,表现出加速的坍缩和旋转上旋,在高角分辨率下得到了很好的研究。为了补充G31小尺度的精确观测,我们用IRAM 30米望远镜对HMC周围的$\sim$ 6 $\times6$\,arcmin $^2$进行了N $_2$ H $^+$ \,(1- 0)观测,追踪了大尺度物质的运动学。$_2$ H-$^+$观测揭示了一个由至少四个旋臂组成的大尺度(5 pc)中心-暗条系统(HFS),南北暗条之间存在NNE-SSW速度梯度($\sim$ 0. 4km/s/pc)。线宽向HFS中心处的中心增加,在中心1.pc处达到2.5--3\f2 $^{-1}$的值。大尺度速度梯度的成因可能是云-云碰撞。在这种情况下,G31中的细丝可能是由碰撞产生的压缩形成的,而在1000 μ m尺度下观察到的HMC的旋转可能是由几pc尺度的云-云碰撞引起的剪切引起的。我们的结论是,G31代表了一个HFS在压缩层与天空的平面正交的方向,并代表了一个基准的恒星形成的服从集群的范例。

英文摘要:

The G31.41+0.31 (G31) hot molecular core (HMC) is a high-mass protocluster showing accelerated infall and rotational spin-up that is well studied at high-angular resolution. To complement the accurate view of the small scale in G31, we have traced the kinematics of the large-scale material by carrying out N$_2$H$^+$\,(1--0) observations with the IRAM 30m telescope of an area of $\sim$6$\times6$\,arcmin$^2$ around the HMC. The N$_2$H$^+$ observations have revealed a large-scale (5\,pc) hub-filament system (HFS) composed by at least four filamentary arms and a NNE--SSW velocity gradient ($\sim$0.4\,km/s/pc) between the northern and southern filaments. The linewidth increases towards the hub at the center of the HFS reaching values of 2.5--3\,km\,s$^{-1}$ in the central 1\,pc. The origin of the large-scale velocity gradient is likely cloud-cloud collision. In this scenario, the filaments in G31 would have formed by compression resulting from the collision and the rotation of the HMC observed at scales of 1000\,au would have been induced by shear caused by the cloud-cloud collision at scales of a few pc. We conclude that G31 represents a HFS in a compressed layer with an orthogonal orientation to the plane of the sky, and represents a benchmark for the filaments-to-clusters paradigm of star formation.
