有棒Milky Way中分子气体的三维分布

3D Distribution of Molecular Gas in the Barred Milky Way

Martin Pohl, Peter Englmaier, Nicolai Bissantz

摘要:

我们提出了一个新的模型的分子气体在银河系的三维分布,根据CO线数据。我们的分析是基于使用平滑粒子流体动力学(SPH)使用一个现实的禁止重力势来自所观察到的COBE/DIRBE近红外光分布的气体流模拟的内部星系。气体模型比简单的圆形旋转模型更好地描述了气体轨道,并且受到观测的高度约束,但它不能预测局部细节。在这项研究中,我们提供了一个3D地图的观察到的分子气体分布使用的速度场从SPH模型。与银河系中心区域研究的比较表明,主要结构被复制,但沿着视线有些拉伸,可能是由于SPH模拟的分辨率有限。气体模型将公开提供,并可能证明在一些应用中是有用的,其中包括用GLAST测量的扩散伽马射线发射的分析。

英文摘要:

We present a new model of the three-dimensional distribution of molecular gas in the Milky Way Galaxy, based on CO line data. Our analysis is based on a gas-flow simulation of the inner Galaxy using smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) using a realistic barred gravitional potential derived from the observed COBE/DIRBE near-IR light distribution. The gas model prescribes the gas orbits much better than a simple circular rotation model and is highly constrained by observations, but it cannot predict local details. In this study, we provide a 3D map of the observed molecular gas distribution using the velocity field from the SPH model. A comparison with studies of the Galactic Center region suggests that the main structures are reproduced but somewhat stretched along the line-of-sight, probably on account of limited resolution of the underlying SPH simulation. The gas model will be publicly available and may prove useful in a number of applications, among them the analysis of diffuse gamma-ray emission as measured with GLAST.
