Reflection nebulae at D=830pc 3-4 HII regions in the center embedded in molecular clouds Mon R2 Core Ultra compact HII region Surrounded by several PhotoDissociation Regions (PDRs) ~15’x15’ JHK composite of SQUID images at KPNO 1.3m (Carpenter et al. 1997)

Mon R2: closest Ultra Compact HII (UCHII) Region Diameter=24” or 0.1 pc (measured using 12.8μm [Ne II] map) n(H 2 )= a few 10 5 -10 6 cm -3 IRAS 1SW: main ionizing source, B0 to O9.5 type
4
Morphology: cometary, core-halo, shell, irregular, and multiple peaks (Wood & Churchwell, 1989). Lifetime “problem”: If UCHII regions are classical pressure-driven spherical shells (V exp ~10km/s), they should remain compact only for ~10 4 yr. HOWEVER most of detected UCHII regions are ~10 5 yr old!
5
of 16 UCHII regions with TEXES at IRTF suggest UCHII region morphologies are the same: systematic surface flows, rather than turbulence or bulk expansion Significant velocity gradients (~5-20 km/s) Limb-brightened: up against dense neutral gas these wind-driven cometary shells could have much longer lifetime Need to find the evidence for dense molecular gas along the shell wall! Are they moving along with the ionized gas? Or, slowly expanding?

IGRINS spectra clearly show emissions both from ionized and neutral gases. Position-Velocity diagrams of ionized gases indicate that they flow along the cavity walls (Δv = 39.906±2.203 km/s). No obvious motion (Δv = 10.026±0.134 km/s) is present in the H 2 emission lines, indicating that there is little or no entrainment of the molecular gas by the ionized gas flow. => need to be confirmed with the complete map!
