CH2CN -分子:lambda8037扩散星际带的载体?

The CH2CN- molecule: Carrier of the lambda8037 diffuse interstellar band?

M. A. Cordiner, P. J. Sarre

摘要:

本文根据新的观测资料,对氰甲基负离子CH_2CN ~-在8037.8 ± 0.15埃处形成相对较窄的弥散星际带(DIB)的假说进行了检验。在转动温度为2.7 K时,利用文献中的光谱参数计算了该阴离子从电子基态到第一偶极束缚态的^1 B_1- X ^1 A '跃迁产生的0_0^0吸收带,得到了峰值波长为8037.78埃的转动轮廓。通过与八个严重发红的银河系视线的扩散带和原子线吸收光谱的比较,CH 2CN-被发现是一个合理的载体的Xiaoda 8037扩散星际带提供的旋转轮廓是多普勒加宽的b参数之间的16和33公里/秒,这取决于具体的视线。卷积计算的CH 2CN-过渡与星际Ti II的光学深度剖面的结果在一个很好的匹配与窄的HD 183143,HD 168112和天鹅座OB 2 8A观测到的AD 8037 DIB的配置文件。转动能级布居可能受到核自旋统计的影响,导致在8025和8050埃附近出现了邻位CH_2CN-的K_a = 1的额外跃迁,这在目前可用的星际光谱中是看不到的。对于CH_2CN-来说,要么是存在将CH_2CN-从邻位转化为对位的机制,要么是形成CH_2CN-的化学反应导致K_a ~“能级在3 K附近接近玻尔兹曼分布.

英文摘要:

The hypothesis that the cyanomethyl anion CH2CN- is responsible for the relatively narrow diffuse interstellar band (DIB) at 8037.8 +- 0.15 Angstroms is examined with reference to new observational data. The 0_0^0 absorption band arising from the ^1B_1 - X ^1A' transition from the electronic ground state to the first dipole-bound state of the anion is calculated for a rotational temperature of 2.7 K using literature spectroscopic parameters and results in a rotational contour with a peak wavelength of 8037.78 Angstroms. By comparison with diffuse band and atomic line absorption spectra of eight heavily-reddened Galactic sightlines, CH2CN- is found to be a plausible carrier of the lambda8037 diffuse interstellar band provided the rotational contour is Doppler-broadened with a b parameter between 16 and 33 km/s that depends on the specific sightline. Convolution of the calculated CH2CN- transitions with the optical depth profile of interstellar Ti II results in a good match with the profile of the narrow lambda8037 DIB observed towards HD 183143, HD 168112 and Cyg OB2 8a. The rotational level populations may be influenced by nuclear spin statistics, resulting in the appearance of additional transitions from K_a = 1 of ortho CH2CN- near 8025 and 8050 Angstroms that are not seen in currently available interstellar spectra. For CH2CN- to be the carrier of the lambda8037 diffuse interstellar band, either a) there must be mechanisms that convert CH2CN- from the ortho to the para form, or b) the chemistry that forms CH2CN- must result in a population of K_a'' levels approaching a Boltzmann distribution near 3 K.
