年轻恒星天体(YSO)W33 A是仍处于形成过程中的大质量星星的最著名例子之一。本文介绍了双子座北高共轭自适应光学红外/近红外积分场摄谱仪激光导引星星辅助K波段积分场光谱仪对W33 A及其内反射星云的测量结果。在我们的数据中,我们在近红外波长处首次探测到大质量YSO的旋转扁平外壳和快速双极射流。观察到的主要光谱特征是Br γ、H2以及CO气体的发射和吸收的组合。我们进行了3D光谱天体测量分析的线发射,其第一次研究。我们发现,该天体的Br γ辐射揭示了亚毫弧秒尺度的快速双极喷流的证据,这与较大尺度的外流相一致。混合CO特征可以解释为热CO排放在靠近中心星星的盘中产生的组合,而冷CO吸收起源于较冷的外层包层。这些功能的运动学分析表明,这两个结构是旋转和一致的电离射流和大规模外流垂直对齐。假设开普勒旋转,我们发现拱星盘围绕着一个中心质量为1.10 M的轨道运行,而外层包封着一个质量为1.15 M的轨道。我们的研究结果表明,一个中央星星吸积材料的拱星盘在一个冷的扩展旋转环面的中心,同时驱动快速的双极风的情况。因此,这些结果提供了强有力的支持证据的假设,即高质量恒星的形成机制是定性相似的低质量恒星。
The young stellar object (YSO) W33A is one of the best known examples of a massive star still in the process of forming. Here we present Gemini North Altitude conjugate Adaptive optics for the Infrared (ALTAIR)/Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrograph laser-guide star adaptive-optics assistedK-band integral-field spectroscopy of W33A and its inner reflection nebula. In our data, we make the first detections of a rotationally flattened outer envelope and fast bipolar jet of a massive YSO at near-infrared wavelengths. The predominant spectral features observed are Br γ, H2and a combination of emission and absorption from CO gas. We perform a 3D spectro-astrometric analysis of the line emission, the first study of its kind. We find that the object's Br γ emission reveals evidence for a fast bipolar jet on sub-milliarcsecond scales, which is aligned with the larger scale outflow. The hybrid CO features can be explained as a combination of hot CO emission arising in a disc close to the central star, while cold CO absorption originates in the cooler outer envelope. Kinematic analysis of these features reveals that both structures are rotating and consistent with being aligned perpendicular to both the ionized jet and the large-scale outflow. Assuming Keplerian rotation, we find that the circumstellar disc orbits a central mass of ≳10 M⊙, while the outer envelope encloses a mass of ∼15 M⊙. Our results suggest a scenario of a central star accreting material from a circumstellar disc at the centre of a cool extended rotating torus, while driving a fast bipolar wind. These results therefore provide strong supporting evidence for the hypothesis that the formation mechanism for high-mass stars is qualitatively similar to that of low-mass stars.
