振荡的无星核:非线性状态

Oscillating Starless Cores: The Nonlinear Regime

Avery E. Broderick, Eric Keto, Charles J. Lada, Ramesh Narayan

摘要:

在以前的论文中,我们模拟了一个热支持(Bonnor-Ebert)球的振荡作为非径向,线性扰动后,恒星脉动的标准分析。预测的柱密度变化和分子谱线轮廓与在博克球B68中观察到的相似,这表明在一些无星核中的运动可能是热支撑平衡结构上的振荡扰动。然而,线性分析无法解决几个问题,其中包括稳定性和扰动的寿命。在本文中,我们模拟的振荡使用三维数值流体动力学代码。我们发现,振荡阻尼主要是由非线性模式耦合,和阻尼时间尺度通常是许多振荡周期,对应于几百万年,并持续在推断的寿命gobules。

英文摘要:

In a previous paper, we modeled the oscillations of a thermally-supported (Bonnor-Ebert) sphere as non-radial, linear perturbations following a standard analysis developed for stellar pulsations. The predicted column density variations and molecular spectral line profiles are similar to those observed in the Bok globule B68 suggesting that the motions in some starless cores may be oscillating perturbations on a thermally supported equilibrium structure. However, the linear analysis is unable to address several questions, among them the stability, and lifetime of the perturbations. In this paper we simulate the oscillations using a three-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic code. We find that the oscillations are damped predominantly by non-linear mode-coupling, and the damping time scale is typically many oscillation periods, corresponding to a few million years, and persisting over the inferred lifetime of gobules.
