分子云化学和双电子复合的重要性

Molecular cloud chemistry and the importance of dielectronic recombination

摘要:

单电荷离子的双电子复合(DR)是一种在分子云化学模型中经常被忽略的反应途径。在这项研究中,我们包括最先进的DR数据,他$^+$,C $^+$,N $^+$,O $^+$,Na $^+$,和Mg $^+$在用于模拟致密的分子云,原恒星和扩散分子云的化学模型。我们还更新了H $^+$、He $^+$、C $^+$、N $^+$、O $^+$、Na $^+$和Mg $^+$的辐射复合(RR)速率系数为当前最先进的值。新的RR数据对模型的影响不大。然而,列入DR的结果在气体颗粒模型的致密,冷分子云的一些表面和气相物种的演变显着差异。我们发现,在这个模型中,当我们包括DR时,在$10^4$-$10^6$年的时间,655种物种中有74种的丰度相差2倍。在这74种物种中,有16种的丰度相差至少10倍。我们发现最大的差异是在尘埃颗粒表面形成的物种。这些差异主要是由于添加了C $^+$ DR,它增加了中性C的丰度,从而增强了C在尘埃上的吸积。这些结果可能是重要的分子云的升温阶段时,表面物种解吸到气相中。我们还注意到,对于Si $^+$、P $^+$、S $^+$、Cl $^+$和Fe $^+$,不存在可靠的最新RR或DR数据。需要对这些离子进行现代计算,以更好地约束分子云模型。

英文摘要:

Dielectronic recombination (DR) of singly charged ions is a reaction pathway that is commonly neglected in chemical models of molecular clouds. In this study we include state-of-the-art DR data for He$^+$, C$^+$, N$^+$, O$^+$, Na$^+$, and Mg$^+$ in chemical models used to simulate dense molecular clouds, protostars, and diffuse molecular clouds. We also update the radiative recombination (RR) rate coefficients for H$^+$, He$^+$, C$^+$, N$^+$, O$^+$, Na$^+$, and Mg$^+$ to the current state-of-the-art values. The new RR data has little effect on the models. However, the inclusion of DR results in significant differences in gas-grain models of dense, cold molecular clouds for the evolution of a number of surface and gas-phase species. We find differences of a factor of 2 in the abundance for 74 of the 655 species at times of $10^4$--$10^6$ years in this model when we include DR. Of these 74 species, 16 have at least a factor of 10 difference in abundance. We find the largest differences for species formed on the surface of dust grains. These differences are due primarily to the addition of C$^+$ DR, which increases the neutral C abundance, thereby enhancing the accretion of C onto dust. These results may be important for the warm-up phase of molecular clouds when surface species are desorbed into the gas phase. We also note that no reliable state-of-the-art RR or DR data exist for Si$^+$, P$^+$, S$^+$, Cl$^+$, and Fe$^+$. Modern calculations for these ions are needed to better constrain molecular cloud models.
