AI总结:

本研究结合盖亚DR3年轻恒星天体测量数据与分子气体数据,首次揭示大犬座区域存在半径约47 pc、膨胀速度约1.6 km/s的壳层结构,并推断其由至少两次超新星爆发驱动。

摘要:

大犬座(CMa)区域以其在多波段可见的显著弧形形态而闻名。本研究将分子气体数据与来自盖亚DR3的年轻恒星天体(YSOs)高精度天体测量参数相结合,首次从三维(3D)视角揭示CMa区域的动力学演化与恒星形成历史。利用YSOs的平均距离和自行作为分子云(MCs)的代理,我们确认CMa区域存在一个缓慢膨胀的壳层状形态,其估计半径为47±11 pc,膨胀速度为1.6±0.7 km/s。进一步地,该壳层的动力学演化支持其膨胀过程,通过假设恒定速度的回溯分析得到膨胀时标约为4.4 Myr。最后,动量估计表明至少需要2次超新星爆发(SNe)来驱动观测到的膨胀壳层,这强化了此前关于多次超新星事件的假说。本研究有效地将CO数据与盖亚的YSOs天体测量数据相结合,为未来研究分子云的三维形态和运动学提供了重要支持。

英文摘要:

The Canis Major (CMa) region is known for its prominent arc-shaped morphology, visible at multiple wavelengths. This study integrates molecular gas data with high-precision astrometric parameters of young stellar objects (YSOs) from Gaia DR3 to provide the first three-dimensional (3D) insights into the dynamical evolution and star formation history of the CMa region. By utilizing the average distances and proper motions of the YSOs as proxies for those of the molecular clouds (MCs), we confirm the presence of a slowly expanding shell-like morphology in the CMa region, with the estimated radius of 47$\pm$11 pc and expansion velocity of 1.6$\pm$0.7 km/s. Further, the dynamical evolution of the shell supports its expansion, with an expansion timescale of $\sim$4.4 Myr obtained by the traceback analysis assuming constant velocities. Finally, a momentum estimate suggests that at least 2 supernova explosions (SNe) are needed to power the observed expanding shell, reinforcing the previous hypothesis of multiple SNe events. This study effectively combines the CO data with the astrometric data of YSOs from Gaia, offering significant support for the future studies on the 3D morphology and kinematics of MCs.
