Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) Cycle-5 observations of HBC 494, as well as calculations of the kinematic and dynamic variables which represent the object’s wide-angle bipolar outflows. HBC 494 is a binary FU Orionis type object located in the Orion A molecular cloud. We take advantage of combining the ALMA main array, Atacama Compact Array (ACA), and Total Power (TP) array in order to map HBC 494’s outflows and thus, estimate their kinematic parameters with higher accuracy in comparison to prior publications. We use 12CO, 13CO, C18O, and SO observations to describe the object’s outflows, envelope, and disc, as well as estimate the mass, momentum, and kinetic energy of the outflows. After correcting for optical opacity near systemic velocities, we estimate a mass of 3.0 × 10−2 M⊙ for the southern outflow and 2.8 × 10−2 M⊙ for northern outflow. We report the first detection of a secondary outflow cavity located approximately 15 arcsec north of the central binary system, which could be a remnant of a previous large-scale accretion outburst. Furthermore, we find CO spatial features in HBC 494’s outflows corresponding to position angles of ∼35° and ∼145°. This suggests that HBC 494’s outflows are most likely a composite of overlapping outflows from two different sources, i.e. HBC 494a and HBC 494b, the two objects in the binary system. |
