An AST/RO Survey of CO(4-3) in ultracompact HII regions
نویسنده
چکیده
The Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory (AST/RO) has been used to observe 78 of the IRAS point sources identified by Bronfman et al. (1996) as likely ultracompact HII regions. Results for the CO J = 4 → 3 line at 461.041GHz are presented. The 74 sources detected are bright and in many cases compact, making them potentially suitable as pointing calibrators for single dish submillimeter telescopes.

We have carried out 21 cm radio continuum, H76α radio recombination line, and various (12 CO, 13 CO, CS, & C 34 S) molecular line observations of the W31 complex. Our radio continuum data show that W31 is composed of two extended HII regions, G10.2−0.3 and G10.3−0.1, each of which comprises an ultracompact HII region, two or more compact components, and diffuse envelope. The W31 cloud appears a...
متن کاملMid - and high - J CO observations towards ultracompact HII regions
Aims. A study of 12 ultracompact HII regions was conducted to probe the physical conditions and kinematics in the inner envelopes of the molecular clumps harboring them. Methods. The APEX telescope was used to observe the sources in the CO (4–3) and 13 CO (8–7) lines. Line intensities were modeled with the RATRAN radiative transfer code using power laws for the density and temperature to descri...
متن کاملHigh-excitation CS and C34S towards ultracompact HII regions
We have used the JCMT telescope to observe the J=5–4 and J=7–6 rotational transitions of CS and C34S towards 19 ultracompact Hii regions. The main goal was to extend the survey of Cesaroni et al. (1991) to a larger sample of sources and to higher energy transitions sensitive to the densest, hottest molecular gas. In all cases we find gas with nH2 ' 105– 106 cm−3 associated with the ultracompact...
متن کاملWater Masers Toward Ultracompact HII Regions
We present a survey in the 6 16 − 5 23 rotational H 2 O transition toward 33 galactic ultracompact HII regions. Maser emission is detected toward 18 of these sources; two are new detections. High quality spectra are provided for all 18 sources. We discuss the detection rate of this survey and the correlation of various maser properties with other physical parameters. In addition, we report wide...
متن کاملA SCUBA imaging survey of ultracompact HII regions The environments of massive star formation
We present a SCUBA submillimetre (450 and 850 μm) survey of the environment of 105 IRAS point sources, selected from the Wood & Churchwell (1989a) and Kurtz et al. (1994) radio ultracompact (UC) Hii region surveys. We detected a total of 155 sub-mm clumps associated with the IRAS point sources and identified three distinct types of object: ultracompact cm-wave sources that are not associated wi...
