摘要:
超致密H II(HC H II)区域围绕年轻高质量恒星的运动学演化仍由于与父体环境的复杂相互作用而理解不足。我们提供了ALMA QUARKS/ATOMS在1.3毫米和3毫米波长的观测(最高分辨率约0.01 pc),观测到一个深嵌的HC H II区域(直径约0.015 pc,电子密度约2×10^5 cm^-3),显示出相对于其父体热分子核的显著大于20 km/s的全球红移,这在光学薄的H30α/H40α重组线中观察到。1.3毫米连续数据揭示出一个明显的0.1 pc弧和垂直的0.04 pc尾。我们提出这种形态源于动态香槟流:HC H II区域缓慢扩张进入已存在的丝状体形成弧和相关的低速(几km/s)SiO冲击波。同时,在相反方向,电离气体沿尾迹所追踪的陡峭密度梯度逃逸,并伴有高速(20 km/s)的SiO发射。我们拒绝了离子化气体与 runaway 高质量恒星共同移动的bow shock情景,因为弧中的受激气体与hub速度一致,这与bow shock预测相矛盾。非局部热力学平衡辐射转移建模进一步排除了离子化气体下沉作为速度偏移起源的可能。我们得出结论,这个特殊的HC H II区域正在经历几千年“蛋的孵化”过渡阶段:HC H II区域的电离气体刚刚从其父体热核中突破,现在正在以超音速向外流动。这项工作突显了各向异性密度分布如何诱导超音速各向异性电离流,从而控制HC H II区域的演化。
英文摘要:
The kinematic evolution of hypercompact H II (HC H II) regions around young high-mass stars remains poorly understood due to complex interactions with parental environs. We present ALMA QUARKS/ATOMS 1.3 mm/3 mm observations (the highest resolution $\sim0.01$ pc) of a deeply embedded HC H II region (diameter $\sim0.015$ pc, electron density $\sim2\times10^{5}$ cm$^{-3}$) exhibiting a striking $\gtrsim20$ km s$^{-1}$ global redshift seen in optically thin H30$α$/H40$α$ recombination lines relative to its parental hot molecular core within a hub-filament system. The 1.3 mm continuum data reveal a distinct 0.1-pc arc and a perpendicular 0.04-pc tail. We propose that this morphology arises from a dynamic champagne flow: the slow expansion of HC H II region into a pre-existing filament forms the arc and associated low-velocity (few km s$^{-1}$) SiO shocks. Meanwhile, in the opposite direction ionized gas escapes along a steep density gradient traced by the tail and high-velocity (20 km s$^{-1}$) SiO emission. We reject the bow shock scenario in which ionized gas co-moves with a runaway high-mass star because shocked gas in the arc aligns with the hub velocity, contradicting the bow shock prediction. Non-LTE radiative transfer modeling further rules out infall of ionized gas as the velocity shift origin. We conclude that this exceptional HC H II region is undergoing a few-thousand-year transition phase of "hatching out of the egg": the ionized gas of HC H II region has just broken out of its parental hot core and now is flowing outward supersonically. This work highlights how anisotropic density distributions induce supersonically anisotropic ionized flows that govern HC H II region evolution.
