Recent observations suggest a scenario in which filamen-tary structures in the interstellar medium represent the first step towards precluster clumps and even- tually star formation. Whether filaments continuously fuel the star formation process when the cluster accretes material is still an open question. In this paper, we present a case study of the famous ＇integral shaped filament＇ （ISF） in the Orion A molecular cloud and we seek to study the kinematics which is truly originated from the ISF. We firstly define the central ridge of the ISF with NHa, ^12CO, ^13CO and N2H^＋. Undulations are present in all the ridges. Moreover, a large scale offset is apparent in the ridges as derived by different tracers, which may be explained by the slingshot mechanism proposed by Stutz ＆ Gould. We fit the velocity field of the ISF and find the derived velocity gradient is about 0.7 km s^- 1 pc^- 1 which may come from an overall contraction. We propose a method to check the accretion flow along the ISF by using the velocity deviations of different molecular tracers, which is better than the common method of using the velocity distribution of one tracer alone. Using the velocity deviations, we also find that OMC-1 to 5 are located close to the local extrema of the fluctuations, which may demonstrate that gas flows toward each clump along the ISE展开更多

Water masers were detected in four star formation regions and one envelope of late type of stars for the first time. New water maser components were measured in two sources. In a maser source with no water maser emission detected six years ago, strong maser emission was found at different velocities, showing that there was a new explosion of water maser in this source.展开更多

文摘Using a newly installed system on the 25 m telescope of Urumqi Observatory, we searched for H2O maser emission towards 84 IRAS sources including young stellar objects (YSOs) and candidates for OH/IR stars. Water masers were detected in four star formation regions and one envelope of late type of stars for the first time. New water maser components were measured in two sources. In a maser source with no water maser emission detected six years ago, strong maser emission was found at different velocities, showing that there was a new explosion of water maser in this source.
