论文摘要
我们研究了与NGC 6334分子云相关的HII区域,在亚毫米计中观察到,并在星形区域观测中作为B场的一部分(BISTRO)调查。特别是,我们研究了与这些HII区域相关的极化模式和磁场形态。通过极化模式和压力计算分析,其中几个气泡表明气体和磁场线已从气泡推开,向几乎切向(气泡)磁场的形态。在NGC 6334的最密集的部分,磁场形态与沙漏相似,极化观测结果并未显示出HII区域的明显影响。我们在NGC 6334南部的气泡中检测到两个嵌套的径向极化模式,它们对应于该气泡中先前观察到的双极结构。最后,使用本研究的结果,我们提出了可以在未来的研究中使用的步骤(结合计算机视觉;圆形霍夫变换),以识别具有物理影响的磁场线的气泡。
We study the HII regions associated with the NGC 6334 molecular cloud observed in the sub-millimeter and taken as part of the B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO) Survey. In particular, we investigate the polarization patterns and magnetic field morphologies associated with these HII regions. Through polarization pattern and pressure calculation analyses, several of these bubbles indicate that the gas and magnetic field lines have been pushed away from the bubble, toward an almost tangential (to the bubble) magnetic field morphology. In the densest part of NGC 6334, where the magnetic field morphology is similar to an hourglass, the polarization observations do not exhibit observable impact from HII regions. We detect two nested radial polarization patterns in a bubble to the south of NGC 6334 that correspond to the previously observed bipolar structure in this bubble. Finally, using the results of this study, we present steps (incorporating computer vision; circular Hough Transform) that can be used in future studies to identify bubbles that have physically impacted magnetic field lines.
