电离气体星云中氖和氩的光发射谱线:意义和应用

Neon and Argon optical emission lines in ionized gaseous nebulae: Implications and applications

Enrique Perez-Montero, Guillermo F. Hagele, Thierry Contini, Angeles I. Diaz

摘要:

在这项工作中,我们提出了一个强的光学碰撞发射线的Ne和Ar的电离气体星云,它是可能的,直接导出电子温度,从而氖和氩的化学丰度的异质样品的研究。我们计算使用网格的光电离模型新的电离校正因子为这两个元素,我们研究的行为Ne/O和Ar/O丰度比与金属丰度。我们发现一个恒定的值Ne/O,而似乎有一些证据的存在的负径向梯度的Ar/O的磁盘附近的一些螺旋。研究了[NeIII] 3869 nm和[OIII] 4959 nm和5007 nm发射线强度之间的关系。这种关系可以用于经验校准和诊断比,将其适用性扩展到更蓝的波长,从而在更高的红移对象的样本。最后,我们提出了一个新的诊断使用[OII],[NeIII]和Hdelta发射线,以获得在高z星系的金属丰度。

英文摘要:

In this work we present a study of the strong optical collisional emission lines of Ne and Ar in an heterogeneous sample of ionized gaseous nebulae for which it is possible to derive directly the electron temperature and hence the chemical abundances of neon and argon. We calculate using a grid of photoionization models new ionization correction factors for these two elements and we study the behaviour of Ne/O and Ar/O abundance ratios with metallicity. We find a constant value for Ne/O, while there seems to be some evidence for the existence of negative radial gradients of Ar/O over the disks of some nearby spirals. We study the relation between the intensities of the emission lines of [NeIII] at 3869 Åand [OIII] at 4959 Åand 5007 Å. This relation can be used in empirical calibrations and diagnostic ratios extending their applicability to bluer wavelengths and therefore to samples of objects at higher redshifts. Finally, we propose a new diagnostic using [OII], [NeIII] and Hdelta emission lines to derive metallicities for galaxies at high z.
