PLANCK COLD CLUMPS IN THE [lambda] ORIONIS COMPLEX. I. DISCOVERY OF AN EXTREMELY YOUNG CLASS 0 PROTOSTELLAR OBJECT AND A PROTO-BROWN DWARF CANDIDATE IN THE BRIGHT-RIMMED CLUMP PGCC G192.32-11.88

Zusammenfassung: | We are performing a series of observations with ground-based telescopes toward Planck Galactic cold clumps (PGCCs) in the [lambda] Orionis complex in order to systematically investigate the effects of stellar feedback. In the particular case of PGCC G192.32-11.88, we discovered an extremely young Class 0 protostellar object (G192N) and a proto-brown dwarf candidate (G192S). G192N and G192S are located in a gravitationally bound bright-rimmed clump. The velocity and temperature gradients seen in line emission of CO isotopologues indicate that PGCC G192.32-11.88 is externally heated and compressed. G192N probably has the lowest bolometric luminosity (~0.8 L sub([middot in circle])) and accretion rate (6.3 x 10 super(-7) M sub([middot in circle]) yr super(-1)) when compared with other young Class 0 sources (e.g., PACS Bright Red Sources) in the Orion complex. It has slightly larger internal luminosity (0.21 + or - 0.01 L sub([middot in circle])) and outflow velocity (~14 km s super(-1)) than the predictions of first hydrostatic cores (FHSCs). G192N might be among the youngest Class 0 sources, which are slightly more evolved than an FHSC. Considering its low internal luminosity (0.08 + or - 0.01 L sub([middot in circle])) and accretion rate (2.8 x 10 super(-8) M sub([middot in circle]) yr super(-1)), G192S is an ideal proto-brown dwarf candidate. The star formation efficiency (~0.3%-0.4%) and core formation efficiency (~1%) in PGCC G192.32-11.88 are significantly smaller than in other giant molecular clouds or filaments, indicating that the star formation therein is greatly suppressed owing to stellar feedback. |
