IRAS 11590 – 6452 in BHR 71 – a binary protostellar system ?
نویسنده
چکیده
New AAT near-infrared and SEST CO J = 2 → 1 observations are combined with existing ISO mid-infrared and ATCA cm radio continuum observations to examine the protostellar content of the Bok globule BHR 71. Together with observations of Herbig-Haro objects, these data show: (1) Two protostellar sources, IRS1 and IRS2, with a separation of ∼17 (3400 AU) are located within BHR 71. (2) Each protostar is driving its own molecular outflow. The outflow from IRS1 is much larger in extent, is more massive, and dominates the CO emission. (3) Both protostars are associated with Herbig-Haro objects and shock excited 2.122 μm H2 v=1-0S(1) emission, which coincide spatially with their CO outflows. (4) IRS1 is associated with cm continuum emission, with a flat or rising spectrum which is consistent with free-free emission, a signpost of protostellar origin. Subject headings: ISM: globules — ISM: individual (BHR 71) — ISM: jets and outflows — stars: formation — stars: binaries: general — stars: pre-mainsequence

متن کاملATCA and Spitzer Observations of the Binary Protostellar Systems CG 30 and BHR 71
We present interferometric observations with resolution of ∼ 3′′ of the isolated, low-mass protostellar double cores CG 30 and BHR 71 in the N2H + (1− 0) line and at 3 mm dust continuum, using the Australian Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The results are complemented by infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope. In CG 30, the 3 mm dust continuum images resolve two compact sources with a s...
متن کاملScattered Light Models of Protostellar Envelopes: Multiple Outflow Cavities and Misaligned Circumstellar Disks
Ground based imaging, imaging polarimetry, and recentHubble Space Telescope WFPC2 and NICMOS images of protostars have revealed very complex scattered light patterns that cannot be entirely explained by 2-D radiation transfer models. We present here for the first time radiation transfer models of T Tau and IRAS 04016+2610 that are fully 3-D, with the aim of investigating the effects on image mo...
متن کاملOVRO N2H + Observations of Class 0 Protostars: Constraints on the Formation of Binary Stars
We present the results of an interferometric study of the N2H + (1–0) emission from nine nearby, isolated, low-mass protostellar cores, using the OVRO millimeter array. The main goal of this study is the kinematic characterization of the cores in terms of rotation, turbulence, and fragmentation. Eight of the nine objects have compact N2H + cores with FWHM radii of 1200 − 3500 AU, spatially coin...
متن کاملThe ALMA-PILS survey: Detection of CH3NCO toward the low-mass protostar IRAS 16293-2422 and laboratory constraints on its formation
Methyl isocyanate (CH3NCO) belongs to a select group of interstellar molecules considered to be relevant precursors in the formation of larger organic compounds, including those with peptide bonds. The molecule has only been detected in a couple of high-mass protostars and potentially on comets. A formation route on icy grains has been postulated for this molecule but experimental evidence is l...
