M13、M15和M33的高分辨率NaI和CaII吸收观察

High resolution NaI and CaII absorption observations towards M13, M15 and M33

B. Y. Welsh, J. M. Wheatley, R. Lallement

摘要:

我们提供高分辨率(R = 60,000)测量了位于M13和M15球状星团内的几颗后AGB恒星的NaI D1和D2(5890 A)和CaII K(3933 A)星际吸收线轮廓,补充的低分辨率光谱的CaII K线的吸收朝向Ofpe/WN 9恒星在M33星系的中心区域观察。将归一化的星际吸收廓线与云分量速度、多普勒宽度和气柱密度进行了拟合,以研究沿每条视线观测到的中性和部分电离气体的运动学和物理条件。我们对M13的CaII观测揭示了4种吸收成分,它们可以在银河系中速云(IVC)中识别,范围为-50 > Vlsr > -80 km/s。这些IVC的NaI/CaII比<0.3,这表明气体是温暖的(T=1000 K)和部分电离的。对M15内的两颗恒星进行类似的观测,发现吸收来自于Vlsr=+65 km/s的银河系IVC。这IVC被发现有相当大的速度结构,需要至少3个云组件,以适应所观察到的NaI和CaII的配置文件。对M33星系中心的视线进行的CaII K线观测显示了至少10个云的组成部分。Vlsr=-130 km/s的云要么是与M33星系相关的IVC,相对于M33本地静止标准,它发生在+45 km/s,要么是新发现的与我们银河系相关的HVC。此外,在-165 > Vlsr > -205 km/s范围内发现了4个云。这些云中有三个被确定为M33的盘状气体,而在-203 km/s处的一个成分可能是M33周围晕中的IVC气体。

英文摘要:

We present high resolution (R = 60,000) measurements of the NaI D1 and D2 (5890 A) and CaII K (3933 A) interstellar absorption line profiles recorded towards several post-AGB stars located within the M13 and M15 globular clusters, supplemented with a lower resolution spectrum of the CaII K-line observed in absorption towards an Ofpe/WN9 star in the central region of the M33 galaxy. The normalized interstellar absorption profiles have been fit with cloud component velocities, doppler widths and column densities in order to investigate the kinematics and physical conditions of the neutral and partially ionized gas observed along each sight-line. Our CaII observations towards M13 have revealed 4 absorption components that can be identified with galactic Intermediate Velocity Clouds (IVCs) spanning the -50 > Vlsr > -80 km/s range. The NaI/CaII ratio for these IVC's is<0.3, which characterizes the gas as being warm (T=1000 K) and partially ionized. Similar observations towards two stars within M15 have revealed absorption due to a galactic IVC at Vlsr=+65 km/s. This IVC is revealed to have considerable velocity structure, requiring at least 3 cloud components to fit the observed NaI and CaII profiles. CaII K-line observations of a sight-line towards the center of the M33 galaxy have revealed at least 10 cloud components. A cloud at Vlsr=-130 km/s is either an IVC associated with the M33 galaxy occurring at +45 km/s with respect to the M33 local standard of rest, or it is a newly discovered HVC associated with our own Galaxy. In addition, 4 clouds have been discovered in the -165 > Vlsr > -205 km/s range. Three of these clouds are identified with the disk gas of M33, whereas a component at - 203 km/s could be IVC gas in the surrounding halo of M33.
