银河系HII区距离模糊度的解析

Resolution of the Distance Ambiguity for Galactic HII Regions

L. D. Anderson, T. M. Bania

摘要:

我们解决了266内银河系HII地区的291个样本,使用现有的HI和13 CO巡天的运动距离模糊。我们的样本包含所有HII区域,在13 CO波士顿大学五学院射电天文台银河系环巡天范围内测量到射电复合线(RRL)发射(18度,< l < 55度)。和|b| < 1),并且包含超致密、致密和扩散的HII区域。我们使用两种方法来解决每个HII区域的距离模糊性:HI发射/吸收(HIEA)和HI自吸收(HISA)。我们发现,HIEA和HISA方法可以解决的距离模糊的72%和87%,我们的样本,分别。当投影到银河平面上时,这个大样本似乎揭示了银河系结构的各个方面,在银河系中心半径为4.5和6 kpc的螺旋臂状特征,并且在银河系中心的3.5 kpc范围内缺乏HII区域。我们的HII区域对于远距离和近距离的比例大约是2比1。超紧凑HII区域的远近距离之比为2.2比1。紧凑的HII区域优先在近距离处;它们的远距离与近距离之比为1.6比1。扩散HII区域优先在远距离;它们的远距离与近距离之比为3.8比1。这意味着超致密和致密HII区域之间的区别主要是由于距离,而漫射HII区域的大角度尺寸不仅仅是由于靠近太阳。

英文摘要:

We resolve the kinematic distance ambiguity for 266 inner Galaxy HII regions out of a sample of 291 using existing HI and 13CO sky surveys. Our sample contains all HII regions with measured radio recombination line (RRL) emission over the extent of the 13CO Boston University-Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory Galactic Ring Survey (18 deg, < l < 55 deg. and |b| < 1) and contains ultra compact, compact, and diffuse HII regions. We use two methods for resolving the distance ambiguity for each HII region: HI emission/absorption (HIEA) and HI self-absorption (HISA). We find that the HIEA and HISA methods can resolve the distance ambiguity for 72% and 87% of our sample, respectively. When projected onto the Galactic plane, this large sample appears to reveal aspects of Galactic structure, with spiral arm-like features at Galactocentric radii of 4.5 and 6 kpc, and a lack of HII regions within 3.5 kpc of the Galactic center. Our HII regions are approximately in the ratio of 2 to 1 for far verses near distances. The ratio of far to near distances for ultra-compact HII regions is 2.2 to 1. Compact HII regions are preferentially at the near distance; their ratio of far to near distances is 1.6 to 1. Diffuse HII regions are preferentially at the far distance; their ratio of far to near distances is 3.8 to 1. This implies that the distinction between ultra compact and compact HII regions is due largely to distance, and that the large angular size of diffuse HII regions is not due solely to proximity to the Sun.
