摘要:

我们基于MWISP(银河画卷巡天)观测,以约50角秒的角分辨率,对麒麟座OB1(Mon OB1)区域开展了全面的CO(一氧化碳)研究。高灵敏度数据结合高动态范围显示,这片8°×4°区域内的分子气体呈现出复杂的层级结构与多样形态(例如纤维状、腔状、壳状及其他不规则结构)。基于对¹³CO(碳-13一氧化碳)数据的高斯分解与聚类分析,我们在整个区域内共识别出263个¹³CO结构,且恢复了原始数据88%的流量。来自CO积分发射的、柱密度相对较高的致密气体,主要集中在多个¹³CO结构重叠的区域。结合32个大型¹³CO结构的结果与Gaia DR3(盖亚卫星第三次数据发布)给出的距离,我们估算该巨分子云(GMC)复合体的平均距离为729⁺⁴⁵₋₄₅ 秒差距(pc)。由¹²CO(碳-12一氧化碳)、¹³CO和C¹⁸O(碳-18氧一氧化碳)示踪的GMC复合体总质量分别为1.1×10⁵ 倍太阳质量(M⊙)、4.3×10⁴ M⊙和8.4×10³ M⊙。致密气体占比在Mon OB1 GMC东区(12.4%)和西区(3.3%)之间存在明显差异。我们的结果表明,致密气体环境与邻近的恒星形成区密切相关。另一方面,恒星形成活动对周围分子气体的物理性质有很大影响(例如更大的速度弥散、更高的温度以及更复杂的速度结构等)。我们还讨论了与邻近恒星形成活动相关的分子气体的分布与运动学特征。

英文摘要:

We perform a comprehensive CO study toward the Monoceros OB1 (Mon OB1) region based on the MWISP survey at an angular resolution of about $50''$. The high-sensitivity data, together with the high dynamic range, shows that molecular gas in the $\rm 8^{\circ}\times4^{\circ}$ region displays complicated hierarchical structures and various morphology (e.g., filamentary, cavity-like, shell-like, and other irregular structures). Based on Gaussian decomposition and clustering for $\mathrm{^{13}CO}$ data, a total of 263 $\mathrm{^{13}CO}$ structures are identified in the whole region, and 88% of raw data flux is recovered. The dense gas with relatively high column density from the integrated CO emission is mainly concentrated in the region where multiple $\rm ^{13}CO$ structures are overlapped. Combining the results of 32 large $\mathrm{^{13}CO}$ structures with distances from Gaia DR3, we estimate an average distance of $\rm 729^{+45}_{-45}~pc$ for the GMC complex. The total mass of the GMC Complex traced by $\mathrm{^{12}CO}$, $\mathrm{^{13}CO}$, and $\mathrm{C^{18}O}$ are $1.1\times10^5~M_\odot$, $4.3\times10^4~M_\odot$, and $8.4\times10^3~M_\odot$, respectively. The dense gas fraction shows a clear difference between Mon OB1 GMC East (12.4%) and Mon OB1 GMC West (3.3%). Our results show that the dense gas environment is closely linked to the nearby star-forming regions. On the other hand, star-forming activities have a great influence on the physical properties of the surrounding molecular gas (e.g., greater velocity dispersion, higher temperatures, and more complex velocity structures, etc.). We also discuss the distribution/kinematics of molecular gas associated with nearby star-forming activities.
