1 Dec 2006 | Abstract: | We present studies of a massive protocluster AFGL5142 in the J=2-1 transition of the CO isotopologues, SO, CH_3OH and CH_3CN lines, as well as continuum at 225 GHz and 8.4 GHz. The 225 GHz continuum emission reveals three prominent peaks MM-1, MM-2 and MM-3. MM-1 and MM-2 are associated with strong CH_3CN emission with temperatures of 90 pm 20 and 250 pm 40 K, respectively, while both MM-1 and MM-3 are associated with faint continuum emission at 8.4 GHz. Additional dust continuum peaks MM-4 and MM-5 appear to be associated with h2O masers. With many continuum sources at cm and mm wavelengths, and those already identified in the infrared, this region is forming a cluster of stars. The CO and SO emission reveals at least three molecular outflows originating from the center of the dust core. The outflows are well collimated, with terminal velocities up to 50 kms-1 from the cloud velocity. Outflow A coincides with the SiO jet identified previously by Hunter et al. (1999). Since jet-like outflows and disk-mediated accretion process are physically connected, the well collimated outflows indicate that even in this cluster environment, accretion is responsible for the formation of individual stars in the cluster. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0612027 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
