摘要
利用中国科学院紫金山天文台德令哈观测站13.7米望远镜在IRAS 02232+6138方向进行了13CO,C18O,HCO+和N2H+的观测.随着探针分子的激发密度从13CO到N2H+逐渐增加, IRAS02232+6138云核的尺度从13CO的2.40 pc减小到N2H+的0.54pc,云核的维里质量从13CO的2.2×103M⊙减小到N2H+的5.1×102M⊙.研究发现,该方向区域内存在双极分子外流.对云核的空间密度结构用幂函数n(r)αr-α的形式进行拟合分析,得到α=2.3-1.2;随着探测密度的增加,该指数逐渐变平.分析得到, 13CO/C18O分子丰度比值为12.4±6.9,与暗云的11.8±5.9及大质量核的9.0-15.6值一致;N2H+丰度是3.5±2.5×10-10,与暗云核的1.0-5.0×10-10和大质量核的1.2-12.8×10-10值一致;HCO+丰度为0.9±0.5×10-9,接近大质量核的1.6-2.4×10-9值,没有发现HCO+丰度增长.结合IRAS数据,得到云核的光度质量比范围为37-163(L/M)⊙,由IRAS光度估计, IRAS 02232+6138方向云核内嵌埋的大约是一颗主序O7.5星.
Using the Delingha 13.7m millimeter-wave telescope, we observed 13^CO, C^18O, HCO^+ and N2H^+ molecular lines toward IRAS 02232+6138. With the increase of excitation densities from 13^CO to N2H^+, the sizes of corresponding dense cores associated with IRAS 02232±6138 vary from 2.40 to 0.54 pc and virial masses decrease from 2.2 × 10^3 to 5.1 × 10^2M⊙. A bipolar molecular outflow is found toward IRAS02232+6138. Using a power-law function of n(r) α r^-α to fit the spatial density structure of the core, we derived power-law indices α= 2.3- 1.2. As critical densities increase from 13^CO to N2H^+, the power-law function becomes flat gradually. The abundance ratio of 13^CO/C^18O is 12.4±6.9, which is comparable with the ratio of 11.8 ± 5.9 for dark clouds and 9.0 - 15.6 for massive cores. The abundance of N2H^+ is 3.5 ± 2.5 × 10^-10, which is consistent with the value of 1.0 - 5.0 × 10^-10 for dense cores in dark clouds and 1.2 - 12.8 × 10^-10 for massive cores. The abundance of HCO^+ is 0.9 ± 0.5 × 10^-9, close to the value of 1.6 - 2.4 × 10^-9 for massive dense cores. No evidence for HCO^+ enhancement has been observed for this source. In aid of the IRAS data, the luminosity-to-mass ratio of the core was calculated to be in the range of 37 - 163(L/M)⊙. Based on the IRAS luminosity, a young stellar object of spectral type O7.5 has been formed in the IRAS 02232+6138 core.
