Clumpy Ultra Compact HII Regions - Part One - Fully Supersonic Wind-Blown Models

Research output: Contribution to a Journal (Peer & Non Peer)Articlepeer-review

Abstract

We propose that a significant fraction of the ultracompact H II regions found in massive star-forming clouds are the result of the interaction of the wind and ionizing radiation from a young massive star with the clumpy molecular cloud gas in its neighbourhood. Distributed mass loading in the flow allows the compact nebulae to be long-lived. In this paper, we discuss a particularly simple case, in which the flow in the HWe propose that a significant fraction of the ultracompact H II regions found in massive star-forming clouds are the result of the interaction of the wind and ionizing radiation from a young massive star with the clumpy molecular cloud gas in its neighbourhood.
