GGD 12-15 is an active star-forming region, star cluster, and molecular cloud of dust and gas approximately 3,260 light-years (ly) away within the Monoceros R2 Molecular Cloud Complex. GGD 12-15 was discovered in 1978 by A. Gyulbudaghian, Yu. Glushkov, and E. Denisyuk while looking for Herbig–Haro objects using data from the Palomar Sky Survey.[2]

Structure

[edit]

GGD 12-15 star-forming complex consists of 4 smaller regions designated as GGD 12, 13, 14, and 15, the complex is deeply embedded within the Monoceros R2 Molecular Cloud Complex.[2] Notable structures within the complex include a bow shock of gas flowing out of the central star in the east, a extended emission region exhibiting weak filamentary structures in the south, and a dense cluster region with massive disk-bearing YSOs and T Tauri stars.[3]

Star Formation

[edit]

This dense cluster region contains two prominent stars; a massive B-type YSO and a Herbig Be star. The dense cluster has a overall median age of ~4 Myr while the massive YSO and the compact cometary H II region are young and have median ages of ~1 Myr.[3] Located in GGD 14, the core of the complex, the compact cometary H II region designated as G213.880-11.837 has been excited by a B0.5 zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) star and is currently expanding, while another object designated VLA 7 is the powering source of the molecular outflow that extends ~6 arcminutes from southeast to northwest. The molecular outflow is covering a molecular clump created VLA 7.[4][5] The surrounding molecular outflow and H2 emission knots may also have been produced by the B0.5 ZAMS star. star-forming activity in these molecular clouds is proven by the detection of 76 infrared point sources and 5 protostars.[6] Observations of the CO¹⁸O emission line reveals that the molecular clump extends over ~2 pc and has a mass of 2850 M☉. The molecular outflow covers this clump through its blueshifted and redshifted lobes, these lobes have masses of 11.7 M☉ and 10.6 M☉ respectively.[7] A study found that the dense cluster region has about 100 disk-bearing YSOs with half of them being observed to exhibit variable star properties, another study found 90 X-ray sources with infrared sources, 30 of the X-ray sources were previously known and 39 possible X-ray sources.[8]
