Massive Stars: Formation, Diffuse X-Rays
Scientific paper
Massive stars influence the insterstellar medium in our Galaxy profoundly by strong UV lights and stellar winds. Since 1970's shocks between stellar winds and ambient medium are thought to produce diffuse X-ray emission. If true, this phenomenon must be very important to understand the massive star formation. Thanks to Chandra, deep survey of diffuse X-ray emission in massive star-forming regions is now becoming a new topic. We have analyzed the Chandra data of two representative regions, NGC 6334 and NGC 2024. We have shown that the diffuse emission certainly exists in both objects, and that the emission maybe a mixture of thermal and non-thermal components.
