利用HII区谱探测大质量恒星电离辐射

Using HII region spectra to probe the ionizing radiation from massive stars

S. Simón-Díaz, J. García-Rojas, G. Stasińska, C. Esteban

摘要:

我们提出了一些正在进行的项目,旨在研究一个单一的大质量恒星电离的银河系HII地区的样本,以测试现代一代恒星大气代码的H莱曼连续体的预测结果。为这项研究收集的观测包括相应电离星的光谱,以及成像和长缝空间分辨星云观测。恒星光谱的分析可以获得电离星的恒星参数,而星云观测提供星云丰度和气体分布的约束。所有这些信息,然后用于构建定制的HII区域的光电离模型。因此,恒星电离通量的可靠性进行测试,通过比较光电离模型的结果与观测的空间变化在整个星云的一组适当的星云线比。

英文摘要:

We present some results of an on-going project aimed at studying a sample of Galactic HII regions ionized by a single massive star to test the predictions of modern generation stellar atmosphere codes in the H Lyman continuum. The observations collected for this study comprise the optical spectra of the corresponding ionizing stars, along with imaging and long-slit spatially resolved nebular observations. The analysis of the stellar spectra allows to obtain the stellar parameters of the ionizing star, while the nebular observations provide constraints on the nebular abundances and gas distribution. All this information is then used to construct tailored photoionization models of the HII regions. The reliability of the stellar ionizing fluxes is hence tested by comparing the photoionization model results with the observations in terms of the spatial variation across the nebula of an appropriate set of nebular line ratios.
