Abstract

In this study, we investigated the kinematical properties of the L1521F-IRS in Taurus region using HCN (J=1-0) molecular line. The high resolution mapping has carried out by $5{\times}5$ point observations covering $3.7'{\times}3.7'$ area using a 12-m telescope of Arizona Radio Observatory in Tucsan, USA. L1521F which harbors the faint infrared L1521F-IRS, displayed a strong central concentration of integrated intensity in HCN without serious molecular depletion. It showed a symmetric kinematical structure with the opposite infall motion in either side of the central cores. It is a direct evidence of bipolar outflows in the core of L1521F.

본 연구에서는 황소자리 분자운에 위치한 L1521F-IRS의 운동학적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 HCN(J=1-0) 분자선 을 이용한 전파관측을 수행하여 분석하였다. 약한 밝기의 천체에 대한 높은 공간 분해능 지도 관측을 위하여 미국 Tucson에 위치한 Arizona Radio Observatory 12 m 망원경을 이용하였으며, 대상의 주변을 충분히 포함할 수 있도록 5지점${\times}5$지점 광역관측모드로 관측대상의 중심을 포함한 $3.7'{\times}3.7'$ 영역을 관측하였다. HCN 분자선 적분 밝기 분포자료는 분자운핵 L1521F가 고밀도 환경에서 분자의 심각한 결핍 현상이 없이 중심에서 강한 밝기를 보여 주고 있음을 보았다. L1521F에서 발견된 적외선원의 위치를 기준으로 동쪽방향에는 청색비대칭 분광선이 서쪽에는 적색비대칭 분광선이 존재하고 이들의 분포가 기존의 적외선영상에서 나타난 고깔모양과 잘 일치하는 모습을 보이고 있는 것으로 보아 L1521F-IRS에서 나오는 가스 쌍극류의 존재를 확인 할 수 있었다.
