Multiple collisions in N59 bubble: sequential cloud-cloud collisions.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report that the gas components in the N59 bubble suffered from sequential multiple cloud-cloud collision (CCC) processes. The molecular gas in the N59 bubble can be decomposed into four velocity components, namely Cloud A [95, 108] km s$^{-1}$, Cloud B [86, 95] km s$^{-1}$, Cloud C [79, 86] km s$^{-1}$, and Cloud D [65, 79] km s$^{-1}$. Four CCC processes occurred among these four velocity components, i.e. Cloud A versus Cloud B, Cloud A versus Cloud C, Cloud C versus Cloud D, and Cloud A versus Cloud D. Using the near- and mid-infrared photometric point source catalogues, we identified 514 young stellar object (YSO) candidates clustered in 13 YSO groups, and most of them ($\sim 60~{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$) were located at the colliding interfaces, indicating that they were mainly triggered by these four CCC processes. We also found that these four collisions occurred in a time sequential order: the earliest and most violent collision occurred between Cloud A and Cloud D about 2 Myr ago, then Cloud B collided with Cloud A about 1 Myr ago, and finally, Cloud C collided with Clouds A and D simultaneously about 0.4 Myr ago.
