Characterizing Outflows in the Cygnus X Region
Abstract
In this paper, we perform an analysis of 13 outflows in the Cygnus X star-forming region. We use the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope observations of 13CO(3-2) and C18O(3-2) molecular emission lines combined with archival 12CO(3-2) data. Using these new observations, we measure the mechanical properties of the outflows, and identify the associated protostars, finding their properties consistent with previous surveys of outflows throughout the Milky Way. Finally, we develop and test a method to measure the same properties using the existing 12CO(3-2) line data alone, finding the properties agree to within a factor of 2.
