中红外[ SIV ]/[ NeII ]与[ NeIII ]/[ NeII ]相关性

The Mid-Infrared [SIV]/[NeII] versus [NeIII]/[NeII] Correlation

Brent Groves, Bas Nefs, Bernhard Brandl

摘要:

中红外比[NeIII]15.6mum/[NeII]12.8mum是发射线物体电离状态的强诊断,因为它只使用强氖发射线,只受到消光的微弱影响。然而,地面望远镜无法获得这个比率,因为MIR中只有少数光谱窗口可用。为了解决这个问题,我们的目的是验证是否存在一个转换律之间的地面可访问,强MIR线比[SIV]/[NeII]和诊断[NeIII]/[NeII]的比例,可以作为一个参考,为未来的地基观测。我们整理了[SIV] 10.5 μ m、[NeII] 12.8 μ m、[NeIII]15.6 \mum和[SIII] 18.7 μ m的发射线通量,这些通量来自丰富的斯皮策和ISO档案中的各种来源,并比较了[NeIII]/[NeII]、[SIV]/[SIII]和[SIV]/[NeII]比率。我们发现[SIV]/[NeII]和[ \neiii ]/[ \neii ]比值之间有很强的相关性,线性拟合为log([NeIII]/[NeII])= 0.81 log([SIV]/[NeII])+0.36,在线性比值的四个数量级上精确到~2。这清楚地证明了地面红外光谱仪对星云进行电离研究的能力。

英文摘要:

The mid-infrared ratio [NeIII]15.6mum/[NeII]12.8mum is a strong diagnostic of the ionization state of emission line objects, due to its use of only strong neon emission lines only weakly affected by extinction. However this ratio is not available to ground-based telescopes as only a few spectroscopic windows are available in the MIR. To deal with this problem we aimed to verify if there exists a conversion law between ground-accessible, strong MIR line ratio [SIV]/[NeII] and the diagnostic [NeIII]/[NeII] ratio that can serve as a reference for future ground-based observations. We collated the [SIV]10.5mum, [NeII]12.8mum, [NeIII]15.6\mum and [SIII]18.7mum emission line fluxes from a wide range of sources in the rich Spitzer and ISO archives, and compared the [NeIII]/[NeII], [SIV]/[SIII], and [SIV]/[NeII] ratios. We find a strong correlation between the [SIV]/[NeII] and [\neiii]/[\neii] ratio, with a linear fit of log([NeIII]/[NeII]) = 0.81log([SIV]/[NeII])+0.36, accurate to a factor of ~2 over four orders of magnitude in the line ratios. This demonstrates clearly the ability of ground-based infrared spectrographs to do ionization studies of nebulae.
