HD 72127 AB的星际吸收时空变化

Spatial and Temporal Variations in Interstellar Absorption toward HD 72127AB

Daniel E. Welty, Thuso Simon, L. M. Hobbs

摘要:

新的光学光谱的钙II和钠I对HD 72127 AB提供了额外的证据,在复杂的星际吸收沿两个视线的空间和时间的变化;档案紫外光谱产生的信息的丰度,消耗,和物理条件的气体对HD 72127 A。在两条视线中,星际物质的各种示踪剂的强度相似,这表明氢柱的总密度[N(H)~ 2.5 x 10^{20} cm^{-2}]以及在低速LSR下主要成分的消耗和电离也是相似的。朝向HD 72127 A,主要成分相对较冷(T < 900 K),但其消耗类似于在温暖的弥漫盘状云中发现的;通常较弱的成分在较高速度下的消耗要温和得多,更像在晕云中发现的。然而,几种痕量中性物质-- Ca I、Cr I和Fe I --对HD 72127 B的反应要强得多。例如,Cr I的柱密度约为zeta Oph测定值的30倍(ISM中该物质的唯一先前检测)。在较暖的气体(T > 5000 K)中的双电子复合可能是这些痕量中性物种向HD 72127 B的丰度增加的主要原因。如果朝向HD 72127 AB的主要成分与船帆座SNR中的物质有关,则丰度和物理条件的差异约为1100 AU。

英文摘要:

New optical spectra of Ca II and Na I toward HD 72127AB provide additional evidence for both spatial and temporal variations in the complex interstellar absorption along the two sight lines; archival UV spectra yield information on the abundances, depletions, and physical conditions in the gas toward HD 72127A. Similarities in the strengths of various tracers of interstellar material in the two lines of sight suggest that the total hydrogen column densities [N(H) ~ 2.5 x 10^{20} cm^{-2}] and the depletions and ionization in the main components at low LSR velocities also are similar. Toward HD 72127A, the main components are relatively cool (T < 900 K), but with depletions resembling those found in warm, diffuse disc clouds; the generally weaker components at higher velocities have much milder depletions, more like those found in halo clouds. Several trace neutral species -- Ca I, Cr I, and Fe I -- are much stronger toward HD 72127B, however. The column density of Cr I, for example, is about 30 times the value determined toward zeta Oph (the only previous detection of that species in the ISM). Dielectronic recombination in warmer gas (T > 5000 K) may be largely responsible for the enhanced abundances of those trace neutral species toward HD 72127B. If the main components toward HD 72127AB are associated with material in the Vela SNR, the differences in abundances and physical conditions occur on scales of about 1100 AU.
