An Extremely Young Massive Stellar Object near IRAS 07029-1215
arXiv:astro-ph/0311210 · doi:10.1086/381180
Abstract
In the course of a comprehensive mm/submm survey of massive star-forming regions, the vicinities of a sample of 47 luminous IRAS sources were closely investigated with SCUBA and IRAM bolometers in order to search for massive protostellar candidates. A particularly interesting object has been found in the surroundings of the bright FIR source IRAS 07029-1215. Follow-up line observations show that the object is cold, that it has a massive envelope, and that it is associated with an energetic molecular outflow. No infrared point source has been detected at its position. Therefore, it is a very good candidate for a member of the long searched-for group of massive protostars.
