摘要:

我们研究了巨蛇座、金牛座、IC 5146、变色龙I、巴纳德59和巴纳德68致密云/核中9.7微米硅酸盐吸收特征的光学深度(tau_9.7)和近红外色过量E(J-Ks)之间的关系。我们的数据集,主要是基于斯皮策IRS光谱,跨度E(J-Ks)=0.3至10等(对应于约2和60等之间的视觉消光)。所有的视线都显示出9.7微米的硅酸盐特征。不像在扩散ISM中观察到的9.7微米的硅酸盐功能的光学深度和消光(Av)之间的紧密的线性相关性,我们发现,在密集的云层中的硅酸盐功能并不表现出单调增加与消光。因此,在稠密的云层中,tau_9.7不是一个很好的衡量总尘柱密度的指标。除了少数例外,对于E(J-Ks)> 2 mag(Av >12 mag),测量的tau_9.7值远低于扩散ISM相关线。通过凝聚的晶粒生长是这种效应的可能原因。

英文摘要:

We have examined the relationship between the optical depth of the 9.7 micron silicate absorption feature (tau_9.7) and the near-infrared color excess, E(J-Ks) in the Serpens, Taurus, IC 5146, Chameleon I, Barnard 59, and Barnard 68 dense clouds/cores. Our data set, based largely on Spitzer IRS spectra, spans E(J-Ks)=0.3 to 10 mag (corresponding to visual extinction between about 2 and 60 mag.). All lines of sight show the 9.7 micron silicate feature. Unlike in the diffuse ISM where a tight linear correlation between the 9.7 micron silicate feature optical depth and the extinction (Av) is observed, we find that the silicate feature in dense clouds does not show a monotonic increase with extinction. Thus, in dense clouds, tau_9.7 is not a good measure of total dust column density. With few exceptions, the measured tau_9.7 values fall well below the diffuse ISM correlation line for E(J-Ks) > 2 mag (Av >12 mag). Grain growth via coagulation is a likely cause of this effect.
