仙后座A超新星遗迹中的一氧化碳

Carbon Monoxide in the Cassiopeia A Supernova Remnant

摘要:

我们报告可能检测到近红外2.29 $μ$ m的第一泛音一氧化碳(CO)排放的年轻超新星遗迹仙后座A(Cas A)。连续减去CO过滤器地图显示CO结内的喷出物丰富的反向冲击。我们将第一次泛音CO发射与研究得很好的超新星SN 1987 A中发现的CO发射进行了比较,发现Cas A中的CO少了$\sim$ 30倍。CO的存在表明,分子混合是小的SN喷出物和天体化学过程和分子的形成可能会继续至少300年后,最初的爆炸。

英文摘要:

We report the likely detection of near-infrared 2.29 $μ$m first overtone Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission from the young supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). The continuum-subtracted CO filter map reveals CO knots within the ejecta-rich reverse shock. We compare the first overtone CO emission with that found in the well-studied supernova, SN 1987A and find $\sim$30 times less CO in Cas A. The presence of CO suggests that molecule mixing is small in the SN ejecta and that astrochemical processes and molecule formation may continue at least ~300 years after the initial explosion.
