Abstract:
We present a spectroscopic study of the dynamics of the ionized and
neutral gas throughout the Lagoon nebula (M8), using VLT/FLAMES data
from the Gaia-ESO Survey. We explore the connections between the
nebular gas and the stellar population of the associated star cluster
NGC6530. We characterize through spectral fitting emission lines of
Hα, [NII] and [SII] doublets, [OIII], and absorption lines of
sodium D doublet, using data from the FLAMES/Giraffe and UVES
spectrographs, on more than 1000 sightlines towards the entire face of
the Lagoon nebula. Gas temperatures are derived from line-width
comparisons, densities from the [SII] doublet ratio, and ionization
parameter from Hα/[NII] ratio. Although doubly-peaked emission
profiles are rarely found, line asymmetries often imply multiple
velocity components along the same line of sight. This is especially
true for the sodium absorption, and for the [OIII] lines. Spatial
maps for density and ionization are derived, and compared to other
known properties of the nebula and of its massive stars 9 Sgr,
Herschel 36 and HD 165052 which are confirmed to provide most of the
ionizing flux. The detailed velocity fields across the nebula show
several expanding shells, related to the cluster NGC6530, the O stars
9 Sgr and Herschel 36, and the massive protostar M8East-IR. The
origins of kinematical expansion and ionization of the NGC6530 shell
appear to be different. We are able to put constrains on the
line-of-sight (relative or absolute) distances between some of these
objects and the molecular cloud. The large obscuring band running
through the middle of the nebula is being compressed by both sides,
which might explain its enhanced density. We also find an unexplained
large-scale velocity gradient across the entire nebula. At larger
distances, the transition from ionized to neutral gas is studied using
the sodium lines.
Description:
We report in Table 2 best-fit parameters for four emission lines from
ionized gas in the Lagoon nebula M8, using single-Gaussian models.
Table 3 reports best-fit parameters for sodium-doublet absorption
lines, using multi-Gaussian models.
