AI总结:

本文利用ALMA 0.82 mm高分辨率观测,发现高质量原双星系统G11.92-0.61 MM2位于纤维状结构上,通过气体运动学分析估计其质量流入率约为1.8×10^-4至1.2×10^-3 M☉/yr,证实大尺度纤维状吸积流正为该原双星的持续吸积提供物质补给。

摘要:

我们展示了前高质量前恒星核候选体G11.92-0.61 MM2的深度亚角秒(约2000 AU)分辨率ALMA 0.82 mm观测结果,该候选体最近被证明是一个间距约500 AU的原双星。我们的观测显示,位于G11.92-0.61原团簇中的G11.92-0.61 MM2,位于由0.82 mm连续谱和N$_2$H$^+$(4-3)发射追踪的纤维状结构上。N$_2$H$^+$(4-3)谱线呈多峰,表明沿视线方向存在多个速度分量。为了分析气体运动学,我们使用SCOUSEPY对N$_2$H$^+$谱线进行了逐像素高斯分解,并使用ACORNS对提取的速度分量进行了层次聚类。在N$_2$H$^+$发射气体中识别出70个速度和位置相干的星团(称为“树”),其中8个最大的树占拟合速度分量的60%以上。主树包含约20%的拟合速度分量,沿0.82 mm连续谱追踪的纤维状结构显示出大致南北向的速度梯度。通过分析一个约0.17 pc长的子结构,我们将其约10.5 km s$^{-1}$pc$^{-1}$的速度梯度解释为追踪朝向MM2的纤维状吸积,并估计质量流入率约为1.8$\times10^{-4}$至1.2$\times10^{-3}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$。基于最近探测到的与MM2相关的双极分子外流,原双星上的吸积正在进行中,可能由更大尺度的纤维状吸积流提供补给。如果50%的纤维状流入物到达原恒星,原双星的每个成员将在约1.6$\times$10$^5$ yr内达到8 M$_\odot$的质量,这与使用化学钟为ATLASGAL-TOP100高质量团块推导的70 $\mu$m和MIR弱相位的总时间尺度相当。

英文摘要:

We present deep, sub-arcsecond ($\sim$2000 AU) resolution ALMA 0.82 mm observations of the former high-mass prestellar core candidate G11.92-0.61 MM2, recently shown to be an $\sim$500 AU-separation protobinary. Our observations show that G11.92-0.61 MM2, located in the G11.92-0.61 protocluster, lies on a filamentary structure traced by 0.82 mm continuum and N$_2$H$^+$(4-3) emission. The N$_2$H$^+$(4-3) spectra are multi-peaked, indicative of multiple velocity components along the line of sight. To analyse the gas kinematics, we performed pixel-by-pixel Gaussian decomposition of the N$_2$H$^+$ spectra using SCOUSEPY and hierarchical clustering of the extracted velocity components using ACORNS. Seventy velocity- and position-coherent clusters (called "trees") are identified in the N$_2$H$^+$-emitting gas, with the 8 largest trees accounting for >60% of the fitted velocity components. The primary tree, with $\sim$20% of the fitted velocity components, displays a roughly north-south velocity gradient along the filamentary structure traced by the 0.82 mm continuum. Analysing a $\sim$0.17 pc-long substructure, we interpret its velocity gradient of $\sim$10.5 km s$^{-1}$pc$^{-1}$ as tracing filamentary accretion towards MM2 and estimate a mass inflow rate of $\sim$1.8$\times10^{-4}$ to 1.2$\times10^{-3}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$. Based on the recent detection of a bipolar molecular outflow associated with MM2, accretion onto the protobinary is ongoing, likely fed by the larger-scale filamentary accretion flows. If 50% of the filamentary inflow reaches the protostars, each member of the protobinary would attain a mass of 8 M$_\odot$ within $\sim1.6\times$10$^5$ yr, comparable to the combined timescale of the 70 $μ$m- and MIR-weak phases derived for ATLASGAL-TOP100 massive clumps using chemical clocks.
