Vla Observations of Water Maser Emission Associated with Svs 13 and Other Sources in Ngc 1333

چکیده
The young stellar object SVS 13 is believed to power the chain formed by the HH 7-11 objects. Recent observations have revealed that in the radio continuum (3.6-cm) the source is a binary with components separated by about 0. 00 3 in the east-west direction. The members of the binary are named VLA 4A (western component) and VLA 4B (eastern component). In an attempt to ascertain which of the two components of the binary is the most likely candidate to drive the outtow, we obtained accurate positions for the H2O maser spots toward this source, also known as H2O(A), derived from Very Large Array observations in its highest angular resolution A connguration. We detected a total of eleven spots 2 L. The spots are segregated in two velocity groups: a velocity group with vLSR similar to that of the ambient cloud (vLSR ' 8 km s ?1), for which we detected ve features (with vLSR in the range of 6.5 to 12.2 km s ?1) and a blueshifted velocity group (six features with vLSR in the range of ?25.4 to ?5.6 km s ?1). Remarkably, all the spots in the rst velocity group are associated with VLA 4A, while all the spots in the blueshifted velocity group are associated with VLA 4B. We discuss the possible implications of this observation. We also present accurate positions of the H2O maser HH 7(B) and of the masers associated with IRAS4B (VLA 28) and IRAS7 (VLA 27, the exciting source of HH 6).

The results of a maser survey toward ninety-nine protostars in the Orion molecular cloud complex are presented. The target sources are low-mass protostars identified from infrared observations. Single-dish observations were carried out in the water maser line at 22 GHz and the methanol class I maser lines at 44, 95, and 133 GHz. Most of the detected sources were mapped to determine the source p...
متن کاملThe association between water kilomasers and compact radio sources in the starburst galaxy NGC 2146
We report the detection of 22 GHz water vapor emission toward the starburst galaxy NGC 2146, made using the Effelsberg 100-m telescope. Interferometric observations with the Very Large Array (VLA) show that a part of the emission originates from two prominent sites of star formation that are associated with compact radio continuum sources, likely ultra-compact HII regions. It is concluded that ...
متن کاملProper Motions of Thermal Radio Sources near Hh 7-11 in the Ngc 1333 Star Forming Region
Star forming regions are expected to show linear proper motions due to the relative motion of the Sun with respect to the region. These proper motions appear superposed to the proper motions expected in features associated with mass ejection from the young stellar objects embedded in them. Therefore, it is necessary to have a good knowledge of the proper motions of the region as a whole in orde...

متن کاملEvidence of a pure starburst nature of the nuclear region of NGC 253
We present high-resolution spectral line and continuum VLBI and VLA observations of the nuclear region of NGC 253 at 22 GHz. While the water vapor masers in this region were detected on arcsecond and milliarcsecond scales, we could not detect any compact continuum emission with a 5σ upper limit of ∼ 1 mJy. The observations reveal that the water maser emission is not related to a possible low-lu...
