摘要:

最近,VLTI的中红外干涉仪(MID-infrared Interferometric Instrument,简称IIF)显示,在两个邻近的塞弗特星系NGC 1068和Circinus星系中,尘埃环面在几何上是厚的,可以很好地描述为一个薄的、温暖的中心盘,周围是一个较冷的、蓬松的环面。通过TRAMP程序(Klahr et al. 1999)的流体动力学模拟,我们跟踪了一个年轻核星团的离散质量损失和能量注入过程。这自然会导致附加的大规模环面部件,其中冷气体能够径向向内流动。这些细丝张开成为一个密集的、非常混乱的盘状结构。在后处理步骤中,我们借助3D辐射转移代码MC 3D(Wolf 2003)计算可观测的量,如光谱能量分布或图像。良好的协议,发现在与数据的比较,由于存在几乎无尘视线通过大规模的组件和大的柱密度所造成的致密磁盘。

英文摘要:

Recently, the MID-infrared Interferometric instrument (MIDI) at the VLTI has shown that dust tori in the two nearby Seyfert galaxies NGC 1068 and the Circinus galaxy are geometrically thick and can be well described by a thin, warm central disk, surrounded by a colder and fluffy torus component. By carrying out hydrodynamical simulations with the help of the TRAMP code (Klahr et al. 1999), we follow the evolution of a young nuclear star cluster in terms of discrete mass-loss and energy injection from stellar processes. This naturally leads to a filamentary large scale torus component, where cold gas is able to flow radially inwards. The filaments open out into a dense and very turbulent disk structure. In a post-processing step, we calculate observable quantities like spectral energy distributions or images with the help of the 3D radiative transfer code MC3D (Wolf 2003). Good agreement is found in comparisons with data due to the existence of almost dust-free lines of sight through the large scale component and the large column densities caused by the dense disk.
