Compact centimeter and millimeter sources in NGC 6334 I(N): OB stars in the making?

RODRIGUEZ L.F., ZAPATA L.A. and HO P.T.P.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present sensitive, high angular resolution 1.3 cm and 7 mm observations of the massive core NGC 6334 I(N), a region known to be undergoing massive star formation. At 1.3 cm we detect three sources, two of which had previously been detected at centimeter or millimeter wavelengths. At 7 mm we detect four sources. We suggest that three of these sources are subcomponents of the millimeter source SMA 1, which at these wavelengths is the dominant source in the region. The fourth 7 mm source appears to be associated with the relatively isolated source SMA 6. In all four 7 mm sources, the continuum emission is arising from structures of dimensions of order 1000 AU for which we estimate masses of order a few solar masses. We interpret these 7 mm sources as massive circumstellar disks that, however, surround stars or compact small stellar groups that at present have masses comparable to those of the disks but that may be accreting on their way to becoming massive stars.
