Possible External Triggers of Star Formation in the Orion-A Giant Molecular Cloud
Friday 18 January 2013 12:00PM Speaker: Yoshito Shimajiri (Nobeyama Radio Observatory)
We present new, wide and deep images in the 1.1 mm continuum and the 12CO (J=1'0) emission toward the northern part of the Orion A Giant Molecular Cloud (Orion-A GMC). The 1.1 mm data were taken with the AzTEC camera mounted on the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE) 10 m telescope in Chile ....
Four types of possible triggers were revealed; 1) Collision of the diffuse gas on the cloud surface, particularly at the eastern side of the OMC-2/3 region, 2) UV compression from OB stars that forms shells and filamentary structures of Photo-Dominated Regions (PDR), 3) UV radiation implosion on the pre-existing dense molecular cloud cores in the western region of Ori-KL, and 4) collision of dense gas with the powerful outflows in the OMC-2/3 and the OMC-4 regions. Our wide-field and high-sensitivity imaging has provided the first comprehensive views of the potential sites of triggered star formation in the Orion A GMC.
