开普勒环脉泽辐射的位置-速度图

Position-Velocity Diagrams for the Maser Emission coming from a Keplerian Ring

Lucero Uscanga, Jorge Cantó, Alejandro C. Raga

摘要:

本文研究了一个薄的平面气体环绕中心质量作开普勒旋转时的脉泽辐射,假设环内的吸收系数与距中心质量的距离服从幂律关系,k= k 0 r ^{-q}。我们计算了最强脉泽特征的位置-速度图,对于不同的指数q值。我们已经发现,根据q的值,这些图可以有质的不同。在给定的速度下,最强的脉泽辐射可以主要来自放大环的内边缘或外边缘附近的区域,或者来自垂直于视线并穿过中心质量的线(正如通常假设的那样)。特别是,当q>1的位置-速度图是定性相似的观察到的水脉泽发射在星系NGC 4258的核心。在这个简单的模型的上下文中,我们得出结论,在这个对象的吸收系数取决于放大环的半径作为一个递减函数,为了有显着的发射来自环的内边缘。

英文摘要:

We have studied the maser emission from a thin, planar, gaseous ring in Keplerian rotation around a central mass observed edge-on. The absorption coefficient within the ring is assumed to follow a power law dependence with the distance from the central mass as, k=k0r^{-q}. We have calculated position-velocity diagrams for the most intense maser features, for different values of the exponent q. We have found that, depending on the value of q, these diagrams can be qualitatively different. The most intense maser emission at a given velocity can either come mainly from regions close to the inner or outer edges of the amplifying ring or from the line perpendicular to the line of sight and passing through the central mass (as is commonly assumed). Particularly, when q>1 the position-velocity diagram is qualitatively similar to the one observed for the water maser emission in the nucleus of the galaxy NGC 4258. In the context of this simple model, we conclude that in this object the absorption coefficient depends on the radius of the amplifying ring as a decreasing function, in order to have significant emission coming from the inner edge of the ring.
