摘要:

我们目前的空间分布的多环芳烃和电离气体在银河系巨大的HII区域NGC 3603。利用Spitzer空间望远镜上的IRS仪器,我们特别研究了~5.7,6.2,7.7,8.6和11.3 μ m的PAH发射特征,以及[ArII] 6.99 μ m,[NeII] 12.81 μ m,[ArIII] 8.99 μ m和[SIV] 10.51 μ m的禁戒发射线。观测探测电离区和光解离区。硅酸盐发射被检测到接近中央集群,而硅酸盐吸收被视为进一步远离。我们发现在整个区域的PAH电离分数没有显着的变化。非常小的颗粒的排放比多环芳烃的排放更接近中央星团。PAH/VSG比值与星际辐射场的硬度有关,表明电离气体中分子的破坏机制,如Madden等人(2006)对低金属量星系的研究所示。

英文摘要:

We present spatial distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and ionized gas within the Galactic giant HII region NGC3603. Using the IRS instrument on board the Spitzer Space Telescope, we study in particular the PAH emission features at ~5.7, 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, and 11.3um, and the [ArII] 6.99um, [NeII] 12.81um, [ArIII] 8.99um, and [SIV] 10.51um forbidden emission lines. The observations probe both ionized regions and photodissociation regions. Silicate emission is detected close to the central cluster while silicate absorption is seen further away. We find no significant variation of the PAH ionization fraction across the whole region. The emission of very small grains lies closer to the central stellar cluster than emission of PAHs. The PAH/VSG ratio anticorrelates with the hardness of the interstellar radiation field suggesting a destruction mechanism of the molecules within the ionized gas, as shown for low-metallicity galaxies by Madden et al. (2006).
