Brooks, Leonardo Bronfman, Lars-Åke Nyman, Patricio Sanhueza, and Diego Mardones. 2014. “Slow ionized wind and rotating disklike system associated with the high-mass young stellar object G345.4938+01.4677.” The Astrophysical Journal 796 (2) (November 13): 117. doi:10.1088/0004-637x/796/2/117.Abstract
We report the detection, made using ALMA, of the 92 GHz continuum and hydrogen recombination lines (HRLs) H40α, H42α, and H50β emission toward the ionized wind associated with the high-mass young stellar object G345.4938+01.4677. This is the luminous central dominating source located in the massive and dense molecular clump associated with IRAS 16562−3959. The HRLs exhibit Voigt profiles, which is a strong signature of Stark broadening. We successfully reproduce the observed continuum and HRLs simultaneously using a simple model of a slow ionized wind in local thermodynamic equilibrium, with no need for a high-velocity component. The Lorentzian line wings imply electron densities of 5 × 107 cm−3 on average. In addition, we detect SO and SO2 emission arising from a compact (∼3000 AU) molecular core associated with the central young star. The molecular core exhibits a velocity gradient that is perpendicular to the jet-axis, which we interpret as evidence of rotation. The set of observations toward G345.4938+01.4677 are consistent with it being a young high-mass star associated with a slow photo-ionized wind.Other Sources
