G133.50+9.01: A likely cloud-cloud collision complex triggering the formation of filaments, cores and a stellar cluster
arXiv:2009.13731 · doi:10.1093/mnras/staa3061
Abstract
We present compelling observational evidence of G133.50+9.01 being a bona fide cloud-cloud collision candidate with signatures of induced filament, core, and cluster formation. The CO molecular line observations reveal that the G133.50+9.01 complex is made of two colliding molecular clouds with systemic velocities, -16.9 km s-1 and -14.1 km s-1. The intersection of the clouds is characterised by broad bridging features characteristic of collision. The morphology of the shocked layer at the interaction front resembles an arc like structure with enhanced excitation temperature and H2 column density. A complex network of filaments is detected in the SCUBA 850 μm image with 14 embedded dense cores, all well correlated spatially with the shocked layer. A stellar cluster revealed through an over-density of identified Class I and II young stellar objects is found located along the arc in the intersection region corroborating with a likely collision induced origin.
