Methanol proplyds and a double protoplanetary system in the constellation Norma
Tóm tắt
We have carried out detailed studies of a star-forming region containing two maser sources in the constellation Norma. The sources display a complex spectral distribution of the maser lines and spatial distribution of the maser condensations. The maser condensations may have formed around objects that are hidden by dense molecular cocoons; the velocities of the maser features may represent Keplerian orbital motions. The cocoons, which radiate in thermal methanol and CS lines, correspond to the centers of mass in the maser sources + dense molecular core systems. The velocities of the CS lines or thermal methanol lines can be used to identify the locations of the centers of mass of these systems. If the maser radiation is generated in the atmospheres of protoplanets, the Norma radio source may correspond to two protoplanetary disks, each with a protostar and protoplanetary system. In this case, the masses of the protostars are approximately 13 M
⊙ and 38 M
⊙.
