史密斯云中的电离气体

Ionized Gas in the Smith Cloud

Alex S. Hill, L. Matthew Haffner, Ronald J. Reynolds

摘要:

我们目前的WHAM观测Halalpha,[N II]和[S II]在史密斯云。来自云的H α发射图显示电离气体与最亮的H I发射相一致,但在一些具有微弱H I的区域中,H α几乎一样亮。云的电离质量至少与中性质量一样大,> 10^6 M_sun。史密斯云核心的电离气体的电子温度为6000 K < T < 16000 K。观测到的[N II] /H α = 0.39 \pm 0.09表明该云具有非原始氮丰度,为太阳的0.1 - 1倍。

英文摘要:

We present WHAM observations of Halpha, [N II], and [S II] in the Smith Cloud. A map of Halpha emission from the cloud shows ionized gas coincident with the brightest H I emission, but nearly-as-bright Halpha in some regions with faint H I. The ionized mass of the cloud is at least as large as the neutral mass, > 10^6 M_sun. Ionized gas in the core of the Smith Cloud has an electron temperature 6000 K < T < 16000 K. The observed ratio [N II] / Halpha = 0.39 \pm 0.09 shows that the cloud has a non-primordial nitrogen abundance, 0.1 - 1 times solar.
