Massive Young Stellar Objects
October 19, 2010 The Origin of Stellar Masses 2
GL2591, Gemini JHK
• Luminous (L>104 Lꙩ) embedded mid-‐IR bright sources
• No HII region but some0mes ionised ‘wind’ (emission lines have v~100 km/s)
• Also frequently: – Supersonic molecular ouelow
– Maser emission
The Red MSX Source Survey
October 19, 2010 3 The Origin of Stellar Masses
• Colour-‐selected ~2000 candidates using MSX and 2MASS (Lumsden et al., 2002)
• |b| ≤ 5°, 10° ≤ l ≤ 350°
• Massive YSOs + UCHII regions + PN + C stars + OH/IR stars
Follow-‐up of Sample
• ~1” resolu0on radio con0nuum (Urquhart et al. 2007, 2009) => HII regions & PN
• ~1” resolu0on mid-‐IR (MoCram et al 2007) => dust morphology (MYSOs vs HII regions)
• 13CO & HI (Urquhart et al. 2007, 2008, 2010) => distances
• Spitzer MIPSGAL and IRAS IGA => Far-‐IR Flux => SEDs, Luminosi0es (MoCram et al 2010a, b)
• NIR spectroscopy (Cooper et al in prep) => final class and characterisa0on
• Data available at hCp://www.ast.leeds.ac.uk/RMS/

• Need Volume observed as a func0on of L
• Take a cylinder centred on galac0c centre and divide into cells • Exclude |l|<10°, |b|>5° • Calculate F21 for cell and include if ≥ completeness

MYSOs vs HC/UCHIIs
October 19, 2010 The Origin of Stellar Masses 11
Hosokawa, Yorke & Omukai, 2010
• Radio-‐quiet MYSOs with 104L ≤ L ≤ 105 L exit
• why no HII region? • Confined/quenched HII region (e.g. Walmsley 2005, Keto2003,
Tan & McKee 2003) ?
• Are they really in a main-‐sequence configura0on? Not for MYSOs
Summary
• The RMS survey has a sample of MYSOs and UCHII regions
• We have obtained the Luminosity func0on and 0mescales for these phases of massive star evolu0on for the first 0me
• No MYSO phase for L > 105 L -‐ go strait to HC/UCHII region
• For 104 L – 105 L, results consistent with swollen cooler MYSOs due to high accre0on
• Data available at hCp://www.ast.leeds.ac.uk/RMS/
