NGC 7538 IRS 2 is a compact H ii region and recent star formation source, with a shell morphology, lying on the border of the visible H ii region NGC 7538. We present a spectral cube of the [Ne ii] 12.8 $\mu$m emission line obtained with the TEXES spectrometer on Gemini North with velocity resolution ∼4 km s−1 and angular resolution ∼0.3 arcsec. The kinematics of the data cube show ionized gas flowing along multiple cavity walls. We have simulated the kinematics and structure of IRS 2 with a…

NGC 7538 IRS1—an O Star Driving an Ionized Jet and Giant N–S Outflow

NGC 7538 IRS 1 is a very young embedded O star driving an ionized jet and accreting mass with an accretion rate >10−4 yr−1, which is quenching the hypercompact H ii region. We use SOFIA GREAT data,…

[Ne II] Observations of Gas Motions in Compact and Ultracompact H II Regions

We present high spatial and spectral resolution observations of 16 Galactic compact and ultracompact H II regions in the [Ne II] 12.8 μm fine-structure line. The small thermal width of the neon line…

A Near-Infrared Study of NGC 7538 IRS 1, 2, and 3

We present images of the cluster of embedded young stars designated NGC 7538 IRS 1, 2, and 3 in the J (1.25 μm), H (1.64 μm), and K (2.16 μm) broad bands; the 1.64 μm line of [Fe II]; the 2.12 μm and…

Kinematics and Structure of Ionized Gas in the UCHII Regions of W33 Main

High mass proto-stars create Ultra-Compact H ii regions (UCHII) at the stage of evolution when most of the accretion is finished but the star is still heavily embedded in molecular material. The…

Outflows from the high-mass protostars NGC 7538 IRS1/2 observed with bispectrum speckle interferometry Signatures of flow precession

Context. NGC 7538 IRS1 is a high-mass (30 M⊙) protostar with a CO outflow, an associated ultracompact H II region, and a linear methanol maser structure, which might trace a Keplerian-rotating…

VLBI observations of 6.7 and 12.2 GHz methanol masers toward high mass star-forming regions - II. Tracing massive protostars

We compare the absolute positions of methanol maser sites with those of typical tracers of young massive stellar objects, such as ultra-compact Hii regions, outflows and hot molecular cores. We have…

On the formation and expansion of H II regions

The evolution of H II regions in spherical clouds with small, constant-density cores and power-law density distributions r exp -w outside the core is described analytically. It is found that there is…

Photoevaporation Flows in Blister H II Regions. I. Smooth Ionization Fronts and Application to the Orion Nebula

We present hydrodynamical simulations of the photoevaporation of a cloud with large-scale density gradients, giving rise to an ionized, photoevaporation flow. The flow is found to be approximately…

Mass loss in main-sequence B stars

We calculate radiatively driven wind models of main-sequence B stars and provide the wind mass-loss rates and terminal velocities. The main-sequence mass-loss rate strongly depends on the stellar…

What are the Mass-Loss Rates of O Stars?

Empirical mass-loss rates of 28 luminous galactic OB stars are derived from thermal radio emission and from Hα recombination radiation. The velocity fields of all stars had previously been analyzed…
