Galerkin中的气体流动

Gaseous Flows in Galaxies

F. Combes

摘要:

气体成分在旋涡星系的动力学中起着重要的作用,因为它具有耗散性,并且能够与盘中的恒星交换角动量。由于它的速度分散小,它触发重力不稳定性,相应的非轴对称模式产生重力力矩,介导这些角动量交换。当整个圆盘上以相同的斑图速度发展出一个强条斑图时,只有在共旋内部的气体才能向中心流动。但是,在气体存在的情况下,强棒的寿命并不长,并且多速螺旋模式可以在棒阶段之间发展,并帮助星系吸积从宇宙细丝流动的外部气体。然后,这些气体间歇性地被驱动到星系中心,形成核星爆,并为活跃的核提供燃料。描述了这些气体流动的各种时间尺度。

英文摘要:

The gas component plays a major role in the dynamics of spiral galaxies, because of its dissipative character, and its ability to exchange angular momentum with stars in the disk. Due to its small velocity dispersion, it triggers gravitational instabilities, and the corresponding non-axisymmetric patterns produce gravity torques, which mediate these angular momentum exchanges. When a srong bar pattern develops with the same pattern speed all over the disk, only gas inside corotation can flow towards the center. But strong bars are not long lived in presence of gas, and multiple-speed spiral patterns can develop between bar phases, and help the galaxy to accrete external gas flowing from cosmic filaments. The gas is then intermittently driven to the galaxy center, to form nuclear starbursts and fuel an active nucleus. The various time-scales of these gaseous flows are described.
