Atomic silicon towards the Orion-KL nebula
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have used the Long Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) on board ISO to observe the fine structure lines of atomic silicon at 68.5 and 129.7 microns towards the Orion KleinmannLow nebula. Our data show evidence for the detection of the J=2-1 transition at 68.5μm with a signal-to-noise ratio of 5. We consider the formation of the observed emission line and conclude that it is likely to form in the C-shock associated with the outflow emanating from the young massive stars in that complex. We give limits on the shock velocity and magnetic field required to explain the observed line in this manner.

O ct 1 99 8 A molecular outflow traced by SiO masers in Orion - KL 1
We present full resolution (∼ 0.2mas, ∼ 0.1 A.U.) Very Long Baseline Interferometry maps of the v=1, J=1→0 SiO masers in the Orion-KL nebula. The morphology and turbulent nature of the maser emission argues against models in which the masers form in an expanding and rotating protostellar disk. Rather, we find that the symmetry evident in the SiO maser emission points towards its genesis in a bi...

We present Caltech Submillimeter Observatory 10 resolution maps of the line of neutral atomic 3 3 P r P 2 1 carbon (809.3435 GHz) and the line of CO (806.6518 GHz) covering a region of around Orion ′ J p 7–6 2 # 4 .5 IRc2 in the BN/KL Nebula. The two lines were observed with the same receiver simultaneously, and therefore the two maps have zero relative pointing error. The atomic carbon (C i) e...
متن کاملWide-Field Thermal Imaging of the Orion Nebula at High Spatial Resolution
We describe multi-wavelength (8–20μm), diffraction-limited, midinfrared images of the OMC-1 cloud core in Orion, covering an approximately two arcminute area around the Trapezium and BN/KL regions. We have detected mid-infrared emission at the locations of a subset of the previously identified proplyds in the Orion Nebula along with two new infrared sources. The Ney-Allen nebula surrounding the...

About 1000 X-ray emitting young pre-main sequence (PMS) stars distributed in mass from ∼0.05 M⊙ brown dwarfs to a ∼ 50 M⊙ O star are detected in an image of the Orion Nebula obtained with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This is the richest field of sources ever obtained in X-ray astronomy. Individual X-ray luminosities in the Orion Nebula Cluster ra...

We present chemical implications arising from spectral models fit to the Herschel/HIFI spectral survey toward the Orion Kleinmann-Low nebula (Orion KL). We focus our discussion on the 8 complex organics detected within the HIFI survey utilizing a novel technique to identify those molecules emitting in the hottest gas. In particular, we find the complex nitrogen bearing species CH3CN, C2H3CN, C2...
