- W2767540697 abstract "W51A is one of the most active star-forming region in our Galaxy, which contains giant molecular clouds with a total mass of 10^6 Msun. The molecular clouds have multiple velocity components over ~20 km/s, and interactions between these components have been discussed as the mechanism which triggered the massive star formation in W51A. In this paper, we report an observational study of the molecular clouds in W51A using the new 12CO, 13CO, and C18O (J=1-0) data covering a 1.4x1.0 degree region of W51A obtained with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope at 20 resolution. Our CO data resolved the four discrete velocity clouds at 50, 56, 60, and 68 km/s with sizes and masses of ~30 pc and 1.0-1.9x10^5 Msun. Toward the central part of the HII region complex G49.5-0.4, we identified four C18O clumps having sizes of ~1 pc and column densities of higher than 10^23 cm^-3, which are each embedded within the four velocity clouds. These four clumps are distributed close to each others within a small distance of 5 pc, showing a complementary distribution on the sky. In the position-velocity diagram, these clumps are connected with each others by bridge features with intermediate intensities. The high intensity ratios of 13CO (J=3-2/J=1-0) also indicates that these four clouds are associated with the HII regions. We also found these features in other HII regions in W51A. The timescales of the collisions are estimated to be several 0.1 Myrs as a crossing time of the clouds, which are consistent with the ages of the HII regions measured from the size of the HII regions in the 21 cm continuum emissions. We discuss the cloud-cloud collision scenario and massive star formation in W51A by comparing with the recent observational and theoretical studies of cloud-cloud collision." @default.
