不同金属丰度恒星形成过程中的尘埃凝聚

Dust coagulation in star formation with different metallicities

Hiroyuki Hirashita, Kazuyuki Omukai

摘要:

尘埃颗粒在稠密的气体中凝结成较大的聚集体。这改变了它们的大小分布,并可能影响恒星形成云的热演化。在这里,我们研究尘埃凝聚在坍缩的前星核不同金属丰度考虑的热运动的颗粒。我们表明,即使在低金属性$\sim 10^{-6} \Zsun$也会发生凝血。然而,我们也发现(i)H $_2$的形成率尘埃颗粒上的H $_2$的大部分形成后,才减少;和(ii),尘埃不透明度修改后,只有在核心变得光学厚。因此,我们得出结论,尘埃凝聚的影响可以安全地忽略在讨论任何金属丰度的前星核的温度演化,只要晶粒运动是热的。

英文摘要:

Dust grains coagulate into larger aggregates in dense gas. This changes their size distribution and possibly affects the thermal evolution of star-forming clouds. We here investigate dust coagulation in collapsing pre-stellar cores with different metallicities by considering the thermal motions of grains. We show that coagulation does occur even at low metallicity $\sim 10^{-6} \Zsun$. However, we also find (i) that the H$_2$ formation rate on dust grains is reduced only after the majority of H$_2$ is formed; and (ii) that the dust opacity is modified only after the core becomes optically thick. Therefore, we conclude that the effects of dust coagulation can safely be neglected in discussing the temperature evolution of the pre-stellar cores for any metallicity as long as the grain motions are thermal.
