NGC 7538 IRS 2 in [Ne <scp>ii</scp>]: shell and cavity kinematics of a compact H <scp>ii</scp> region
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT NGC 7538 IRS 2 is a compact H ii region and recent star formation source, with a shell morphology, lying on the border of the visible H ii region NGC 7538. We present a spectral cube of the [Ne ii] 12.8 $\mu$m emission line obtained with the TEXES spectrometer on Gemini North with velocity resolution ∼4 km s−1 and angular resolution ∼0.3 arcsec. The kinematics of the data cube show ionized gas flowing along multiple cavity walls. We have simulated the kinematics and structure of IRS 2 with a model of superimposed cavities created by outflows from embedded stars in a cloud with density gradients. Most of the cavities, including the largest that dominates IRS 2 structure, are associated with B-type stars; the outflow of the bright ionizing O star binary IRS 2a/b is small in extent and lies in a high-density clump. The IRS 2 model shows that the behaviour of an H ii region is not a matter of only the most massive star present; cloud clumpiness and activity of lower mass stars may determine the structure and kinematics.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
