摘要:

利用斯皮策太空望远镜获得的数据作为银河系演化代理人调查(SAGE)遗产调查的一部分,我们研究了整个大麦云(LMC)的尘埃成分和丰度的变化。这种变化是预料之中的,因为爆炸事件导致形成了观测到的许多HI壳,应该影响了尘埃的性质。利用一个模型,并与银河系的参考光谱能量分布进行比较,我们推断出整个大麦哲伦星系中小尘埃颗粒的相对丰度变化。我们研究了红外颜色比以及相对丰度的非常小的颗粒(VSGs)和多环芳烃(PAHs)相对于大颗粒(BG)的丰度。结果表明,每个尘埃成分可能有不同的起源或演化的星际介质(ISM)。VSG丰度的痕迹恒星形成的活动,并可能导致粉碎较大的颗粒,而PAH丰度增加分子云周围以及恒星酒吧,在那里他们可能已经注入到ISM期间从老恒星的质量损失。

英文摘要:

Using the data obtained with the Spitzer Space telescope as part of the Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) legacy survey, we have studied the variations of the dust composition and abundance across the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Such variations are expected, as the explosive events which have lead to the formation of the many HI shells observed should have affected the dust properties. Using a model and comparing with a reference spectral energy distribution from our Galaxy, we deduce the relative abundance variations of small dust grains across the LMC. We examined the infrared color ratios as well as the relative abundances of very small grains (VSGs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) relative to the big grain (BG) abundance. Results show that each dust component could have different origins or evolution in the interstellar medium (ISM). The VSG abundance traces the star formation activity and could result from shattering of larger grains, whereas the PAH abundance increases around molecular clouds as well as in the stellar bar, where they could have been injected into the ISM during mass loss from old stars.
