富氧液滴和ISM的富集

Oxygen-rich droplets and the enrichment of the ISM

G. Stasinska, G. Tenorio-Tagle, M. Rodriguez, W. J. Henney

摘要:

我们认为,在HII区观测到的光学复合线(ORL)和碰撞激发线(CEL)的丰度之间的差异很可能是Tenorio-Tagle(1996)提出的星际介质(ISM)富集情景的标志。在这种情况下,只要超新星继续爆炸,大规模超新星爆炸释放的新鲜氧气就被限制在热的超级气泡中。只有在最后一次大规模超新星爆炸后,富含金属的气体才开始冷却,并以富含金属的液滴形式落在星系上。这些富含金属的液滴和ISM的完全混合发生在下一代大质量恒星的光电离过程中。在此过程中,富含金属的液滴引起金属的强复合线,导致观察到的ORL-CEL差异。(The这项工作的完整版本提交给天文学和天体物理学。

英文摘要:

We argue that the discrepancies observed in HII regions between abundances derived from optical recombination lines (ORLs) and collisionally excited lines (CELs) might well be the signature of a scenario of the enrichment of the interstellar medium (ISM) proposed by Tenorio-Tagle (1996). In this scenario, the fresh oxygen released during massive supernova explosions is confined within the hot superbubbles as long as supernovae continue to explode. Only after the last massive supernova explosion, the metal-rich gas starts cooling down and falls on the galaxy within metal-rich droplets. Full mixing of these metal-rich droplets and the ISM occurs during photoionization by the next generations of massive stars. During this process, the metal-rich droplets give rise to strong recombination lines of the metals, leading to the observed ORL-CEL discrepancy.
