ALMA-IMF. IX. Catalog and Physical Properties of 315 SiO Outflow Candidates in 15 Massive Protoclusters
Abstract
We present a catalog of 315 protostellar outflow candidates detected in SiO J = 5 â 4 in the ALMA-IMF Large Program, observed with â¼2000 au spatial resolution, 0.339 km sâ1 velocity resolution, and 2-12 mJy beamâ1 (0.18-0.8 K) sensitivity. We find median outflow masses, momenta, and kinetic energies of â¼0.3 M â, 4 M â km sâ1, and 1045 erg, respectively. Median outflow lifetimes are 6000 yr, yielding median mass, momentum, and energy rates of M Ì = 10â4.4 M â yrâ1, P Ì = 10â3.2 M â km sâ1 yrâ1, and E Ì = 1 L â. We analyze these outflow properties in the aggregate in each field. We find correlations between field-aggregated SiO outflow properties and total mass in cores (â¼3Ï-5Ï), and no correlations above 3Ï with clump mass, clump luminosity, or clump luminosity-to-mass ratio. We perform a linear regression analysis and find that the correlation between field-aggregated outflow mass and total clump massâwhich has been previously described in the literatureâmay actually be mediated by the relationship between outflow mass and total mass in cores. We also find that the most massive SiO outflow in each field is typically responsible for only 15%-30% of the total outflow mass (60% upper limit). Our data agree well with the established mechanical forceâbolometric luminosity relationship in the literature, and our data extend this relationship up to L ⥠106 L â and P Ì â¥ 1 M â km sâ1 yrâ1. Our lack of correlation with clump L/M is inconsistent with models of protocluster formation in which all protostars start forming at the same time.
