A search for high-velocity gas in massive star formation regions     

Yue-fang Wu  Yue-xing Li  Li-feng Zheng 《Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics》1998,22(4):863-462

From the IRAS-PSC, 97 sources with steep FIR spectrum and another 8 were chosen for a search for high-velocity gas. Observations of the CO (J =1−0) line were made with the 13.3-m telescope at the Qinghai Station. The results show that 102 sources are associated with molecular gas. 9 of the sources have reference position problem and 21 have multiple spectrum. Of the remaining 72, 29 contain high-velocity gas, and of these 18 are new molecular outflow candidates. Their properties are discussed briefly in connection with massive young stellar objects.  相似文献   

Galactic Spiral Arms and Dynamo Control Parameters     

Shukurov  A.  Sokoloff  D. 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》1998,42(3):391-396

We discuss the effects of galactic spiral arms on the -coefficient, turbulent diffusivity and turbulent energy density of the interstellar turbulence. We argue that the -coefficient and the dynamo number are larger in the interarm regions, whereas the kinetic energy density of turbulence is larger in the arms; the turbulent magnetic diffusivity can be only weakly affected by the spiral pattern.  相似文献   

拱星OH脉泽辐射频谱的双峰结构和多重分离的膨胀拱星壳     

俞志尧 《天文学报》1998,39(3):237-243

对一些OH／IR星的拱星OH脉泽的观测结果表明,在双峰结构谱线轮廓上常常可以发现一些小峰叠加在双峰上,即在谱线轮廓的双峰结构中的每个峰是由几个小峰叠加而成的．从脉泽的辐射转移方程和拱星包层的速度结构出发,研究拱星OH脉泽辐射频谱的轮廓特征,提出多重分离的膨胀拱星亮模型,很好地解释了双峰结构的奇特观测现象．  相似文献   

天体物理环境中的硅酸盐尘粒   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

李墨萍  赵刚  李爱根 《天文学进展》2007,25(2):132-146

硅酸盐尘粒是宇宙尘埃的主要成分之一,它广泛存在于许多天体物理环境中,其特性随环境而变化。由于近年来观测数据的不断增加和红外光谱质量的逐步提高,宇宙空间中的硅酸盐尘粒正受到越来越多的关注．该文详细地介绍了在各种天体环境(星际空间、演化晚期恒星的星周尘埃包层、绕年轻恒星和主序星的星周尘埃盘、彗星的彗发和行星际空间)中的硅酸盐尘粒的观测特征,并分别对其物理和化学性质进行了综合比较．观测已经证实在星际尘埃演化的前身(演化晚期恒星的星周尘埃包层)和其遗迹(彗星)均有可观数量的结晶硅酸盐存在。但是至今还没有在其中间态(弥散星际介质)找到结晶硅酸盐存在的证据。这一尚未解决的难题突出了结晶态硅酸盐在天体物理研究中的重要意义。  相似文献   

X-ray emission of OH megamaser galaxies     

R. A. Kandalyan  V. V. Hambaryan  H. A. Sabat 《Astrophysics》2007,50(2):135-143

The properties of OH megamaser galaxies in the x-ray region are discussed. Observational data from the XMM-Newton x-ray satellite are presented for three megamasers, IRAS 01418+1651, IRAS 11010+4107, and IRAS 13218+0552. Based on a sample of OH megamaser galaxies it is shown that the x-ray and OH emission are closely coupled. Megamaser emission also correlates with the column density of the medium and the OH emissivity increases as the square of the column density. The results of this study indicate that in OH megamaser galaxies an active nucleus, x-ray heating of molecules, and saturation of the maser emission can play an important role. In some megamasers, active star formation may be the dominant source. __________ Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 50, No. 2, pp. 171–182 (May 2007).  相似文献   

The Magellanic Clouds: their evolution,structure and composition     

B. E. Westerlund 《Astronomy and Astrophysics Review》1990,2(1):29-78

Summary The Magellanic Clouds play a fundamental role in a number of fields of astronomical research. Their distances are most relevant to the extragalactic distance scale. Their relative proximity offers exceptional opportunities for detailed studies of their stellar and interstellar content. They serve therefore as testing grounds for modern astrophysical theories, in particular concerning the chemical evolution of stars and galaxies.In this review we will discuss recent attempts to determine accurate distances to the Magellanic Clouds. We will consider their stellar generations as the results of interactions between the Large and the Small Magellanic Cloud as well as between the Clouds and the Galaxy. Recent determinations of the chemical abundances of the various age groups will be presented. The fact that the evolution of the Clouds has been slower than that of our Galaxy gives us the opportunity to study the conditions in slightly metalpoor galaxies. Recent progress in observing techniques has added much to our knowledge about the interstellar medium of the Clouds.The Magellanic System, which comprises the Magellanic Clouds, the Inter-Cloud Region and the Magellanic Stream, will be described. We will in particular consider the complex structure of the Large and the Small Cloud and the kinematics of their populations.  相似文献

H<Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis> survey of the local volume: Isolated southern galaxies     

S. S. Kaisin  A. V. Kasparova  A. Yu. Knyazev  I. D. Karachentsev 《Astronomy Letters》2007,33(5):283-291

We present our Hα observations of 11 isolated southern galaxies: SDIG, PGC 51659, E 222-010, E 272-025, E 137-018, IC 4662, Sag DIG, IC 5052, IC 5152, UGCA 438, and E 149-003, with distances from 1 to 7 Mpc. We have determined the total Hα fluxes from these galaxies. The star formation rates in these galaxies range from 10^?1 (IC 4662) to 10^?4 M _⊙ yr^?1 (SDIG) and the gas depletion time at the observed star formation rates lies within the range from 1/6 to 24 Hubble times H ₀ ^?1 .  相似文献

Spectral variations and long-period intensity variations of auroral kilometric radiation from INTERBALL-2 satellite measurements     

M. M. Mogilevsky  I. L. Moiseenko  J. Hanasz 《Astronomy Letters》2005,31(6):422-426

A statistical analysis of the auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) measurements in the POLRAD experiment on the INTERBALL-2 satellite has revealed a dependences of the size and location of the AKR generation region on geomagnetic activity: the generation region rises upward and expands with increasing magnetic disturbances. Based on our two-year measurements, we found seasonal AKR intensity variations: the AKR maximum and minimum are observed in winter and summer, respectively. The seasonal variations and the dependence of the spectrum on geomagnetic activity are assumed to have a common physical nature—the background-plasma density variations in the region of the AKR source attributable to plasma flows from the ionosphere into the magnetosphere.  相似文献
