年轻嵌入星团产生的UV辐射场

UV Radiation Fields Produced by Young Embedded Star Clusters

M. Fatuzzo, F. C. Adams

摘要:

很大一部分恒星形成于年轻的嵌入式星团中,这些环境产生大量的紫外线(UV)背景辐射场,可以提供恒星形成过程的反馈。为了评估年轻的星团对其组成恒星和行星的形成可能产生的影响,本文构造了这些星团产生的预期辐射场。我们包括观察到的分布在太阳附近的集群大小$N$和扩展的分布,包括集群较大的$N$。本文给出了具有给定恒星成员$N$的星团的FUV和EUV光度分布、FUV和EUV光度分布与星团大小$N$的期望分布的卷积以及相应的FUV和EUV通量分布。这些通量分布的计算和消光的影响。最后,我们考虑了恒星初始质量函数的变化对这些辐射场的影响。总的来说,这些结果说明了形成太阳系的辐射环境的分布。

英文摘要:

A large fraction of stars form within young embedded clusters, and these environments produce a substantial ultraviolet (UV) background radiation field, which can provide feedback on the star formation process. To assess the possible effects of young stellar clusters on the formation of their constituent stars and planets, this paper constructs the expected radiation fields produced by these clusters. We include both the observed distribution of cluster sizes $N$ in the solar neighborhood and an extended distribution that includes clusters with larger $N$. The paper presents distributions of the FUV and EUV luminosities for clusters with given stellar membership $N$, distributions of FUV and EUV luminosity convolved over the expected distribution of cluster sizes $N$, and the corresponding distributions of FUV and EUV fluxes. These flux distributions are calculated both with and without the effects of extinction. Finally, we consider the effects of variations in the stellar initial mass function on these radiation fields. Taken together, these results specify the distributions of radiation environments that forming solar systems are expected to experience.
