确定星际介质的分形维数

Determining the Fractal Dimension of the Interstellar Medium

Nestor Sanchez, Emilio J. Alfaro, Enrique Perez

摘要:

星际介质似乎有一个潜在的分形结构,它可以通过其分形维数(Df)的特点。然而,几个因素可能影响Df的确定,例如由于投影引起的失真、低图像分辨率、云的不透明度和低信噪比。在这里,我们使用模拟的云和真实的分子云图来研究这些影响,以便以可靠的方式估计Df。结果表明,星际介质的分形维数在2.6 < Df < 2.8之间,明显高于文献中通常假设的Df = 2.3。

英文摘要:

The Interstellar Medium seems to have an underlying fractal structure, which can be characterized through its fractal dimension (Df). However, several factors may affect the determination of Df, such as distortions due to projection, low image resolution, opacity of the cloud, and low signal-to-noise ratio. Here we use both simulated clouds and real molecular cloud maps to study these effects in order to estimate Df in a reliable way. Our results indicate in a self-consistent way that the fractal dimension of the Interstellar Medium is in the range 2.6 < Df < 2.8, which is significantly higher than the value Df = 2.3 usually assumed in the literature.
