We present high spatial resolution 12 CO (J = 1 − 0) images taken by the Nobeyama 45m telescope toward a 48 ′ × 48 ′ area including the L1641-N cluster.The effective spatial resolution of the maps is 21 ′′ , corresponding to 0.04 pc at a distance of 400 pc. A recent 1.1 mm dust continuum map reveals that the dense gas is concentrated in several thin filaments. We find that a few dust filaments are located at the parts where 12 CO (J = 1 −0) emission drops sharply.Furthermore, the filaments have two-components with different velocities. The velocity difference between the two-components is about 3 km s −1 , corresponding to a Mach number of 10, significantly larger than the local turbulent velocity in the cloud. These facts imply that the collision of the two components (hereafter, the cloud-cloud collision) possibly contributed to the formation of these filaments.Since the two components appear to overlap toward the filaments on the plane of the sky, the collision may have occurred almost along the line of sight. Star formation in the L1641-N cluster was probably triggered by such a collision.We also find several parsec-scale CO shells whose centers are close to either the L1641-N cluster or V 380 Ori cluster. We propose that these shells were created by multiple winds and/or outflows from cluster YSOs, i.e., "protocluster winds."One exceptional dust filament located at the western cloud edge lies along a shell; it is presumably a part of the expanding shell. Both the cloud-cloud collision and protocluster winds are likely to influence the cloud structure and kinematics in this region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
