2 Aug 2007 | | Abstract: | We report on the results of a Submillimeter Array interferometric observation
of the proto-planetary nebula CRL 618 in the 12CO J=6-5 line. With the new
capability of SMA enabling us to use two receivers at a time, we also observed
simultaneously in the 12CO J=2-1 and 13CO J=2-1 lines. The 12CO J=6-5 and 13CO
J=2-1 lines were first interferometrically observed toward CRL 618. The flux of
the high velocity component of the 12CO J=6-5 line is almost fully recovered,
while roughly 80% of the flux of the low velocity component is resolved out.
The low recovery rate suggests that the emission region of the low velocity
component of the 12CO J=6-5 line is largely extended. Continuum emission is
detected both at 230 and 690 GHz. The flux of the 690 GHz continuum emission
seems to be partially resolved out, suggesting dust emission partly
contaminates the 690 GHz continuum flux. The cavity structure, which has been
confirmed in a previous observation in the 12CO J=2-1 line, is not clearly
detected in the 12CO J=6-5 line, and only the south wall of the cavity is
detected. This result suggests that the physical condition of the molecular
envelope of CRL 618 is not exactly axial symmetric. | | Source: | arXiv, 0707.4035 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
