H II区域、红外暗分子云和银河系核恒星形成环的局部几何形状

H II regions, infrared dark molecular clouds and the local geometry of the Milky Way's nuclear star-forming ring

H. S. Liszt

摘要:

为了解释银河系中心H II区复合体是棒星系核恒星形成环的组成部分,我们比较了18 cm VLA射电连续谱、$8-22μ$ MSX IR和2.6 mm BTL以及ARO 12 m CO在几百pc内的发射。银河系中心H II区域在红外外观、光度和SED方面与M17或N相当!0,但是IR光分布通过在8-22 $μ$处的消光而局部地和整体地被强烈地修改。在$l > 0.6$的Sgr B2中,\degr强射电H II区在IR中不可见。在两个有利的情况下,来自个别星系中心分子云的消光被证明在8-22 $μ$处具有与波长无关的$τ\ga 1$。气体运动学主要是旋转的,但具有系统的$\pm 30-50$ \kms非圆周运动。Sgr B和C都显示出相同的壳和高速帽结构。H Ⅱ区位于一个半径为$\approx$ 180 pc(1.2 \degr)的微斜环内,其近侧出现在高纬低速区,并含有Sgr B。Sgr C在远侧,Sgr B和C都代表了沿着银河尘埃带流入的物质的碰撞。Sgr E是与环的外边缘相切的场对象的巧合聚合。环内部的大部分体积可能没有致密气体,在v=20-70 \kms处看到的一些朝向Sgr A的发射位于环外部。

英文摘要:

To interpret the galactic center H II region complexes as constituents of a barred galaxy's nuclear star-forming ring, we compare 18cm VLA radiocontinuumm, $8-22μ$ MSX IR and 2.6mm BTL and ARO12m CO emission in the inner few hundred pc. Galactic center H II regions are comparable in their IR appearance, luminosity and SED to M17 or N!0, but the IR light distribution is strongly modified by extinction at 8-22$μ$, locally and overall. In Sgr B2 at $l > 0.6$\degr strong radio H II regions are invisible in the IR. In two favorable cases, extinction from individual galactic center molecular clouds is shown to have $τ\ga 1$ at 8-22$μ$ independent of wavelength. The gas kinematics are mostly rotational but with systematic $\pm 30-50$ \kms non-circular motion. Sgr B and C both show the same shell and high-velocity cap structure. The H II regions lie in a slightly-inclined ring of radius $\approx$ 180 pc (1.2\degr) whose near side appears at higher latitude and lower velocity and contains Sgr B. Sgr C is on the far side and both Sgr B and C represent collisions with material inflowing along the galactic dust lanes. Sgr E is a coincidental aggregation of field objects seen tangent to the ring's outer edge. Most of the volume interior to the ring is probably devoid of dense gas and some emission seen at v=20-70 \kms toward Sgr A lies outside it, in the ring.
