英文摘要 | We present results based on the optical R-band observations of the polarization of 280 stars distributed toward the dark globule LDN 1225. Parallaxes from Gaia data release 2 along with the polarization data of -200 stars have been used to (a) constrain the distance of LDN 1225 as 830 +/- 83 pc, (b) determine the contribution of interstellar polarization, and (c) characterize the dust properties and delineate the magnetic field (B-field) morphology of LDN 1225. We find that B-fields are more organized and exhibit a small dispersion of 12 degrees. Using the (CO)-C-12 molecular line data from the Purple Mountain Observatory, along with the column density and dispersion in B-fields, we estimate the B-field strength to be similar to 56 +/- 10 mu G, the ratio of magnetic to turbulent pressure to be similar to 3 +/- 2, and the ratio of mass to magnetic flux (in units of the critical value) to be <1. These results indicate the dominant role of B-fields in comparison to turbulence and gravity in rendering the cloud support. B-fields are aligned parallel to the low-density parts (traced by a (CO)-C-12 map) of the cloud; in contrast, they are neither parallel nor perpendicular to the high-density core structures (traced by (CO)-C-13 and (CO)-O-18 maps). LDN 1225 hosts two 70 mu m sources, which seem to be low-mass Class 0 sources. The ratio of total to selective extinction derived using optical and near-infrared photometric data is found to be anomalous (R-v = 3.4), suggesting the growth of dust grains in LDN 1225. The polarization efficiency of dust grains follows a power law with an index of -0.7, implying that optical polarimetry traces B-fields in the outer parts of the cloud. |
