摘要:

讨论了在年轻和大质量的超巨星团中经常发现的超音速红外线和射电复合星云线的起源。我们认为,这些产生于一系列的再加压冲击(RS),有效地发挥作用,以重新建立压力平衡内的集群体积和集群风,导致一个更广泛的,但要弱得多的组件。超音速谱线出现在经历双峰流体动力学解的星系团中(Tenorio-Tagle et al. 2007),即在机械光度或星系团质量与星系团大小的阈值线以上的星系团中(Silich et al. 2004)。过多的再增压冲击是由于频繁和周期性的热不稳定性发生在物质内部,这些物质被恒星风和超新星重新插入。我们表明,最大速度的RS和集群风,都是在停滞半径达到的温度的函数。该温度仅取决于簇加热效率($η$)。基于我们的二维模拟(Wunsch等人,2008年),我们计算了几种模型产生的谱线轮廓,并证实了我们的分析预测。从预测值和观察值的半宽度零强度的两个线组件之间的比较,我们得出结论,在SSC的阈值线以上的热化效率必须低于20%。

英文摘要:

The origin of supersonic infrared and radio recombination nebular lines often detected in young and massive superstar clusters are discussed. We suggest that these arise from a collection of repressurizing shocks (RSs), acting effectively to re-establish pressure balance within the cluster volume and from the cluster wind which leads to an even broader although much weaker component. The supersonic lines are here shown to occur in clusters that undergo a bimodal hydrodynamic solution (Tenorio-Tagle et al. 2007), that is within clusters that are above the threshold line in the mechanical luminosity or cluster mass vs the size of the cluster (Silich et al. 2004). The plethora of repressurizing shocks is due to frequent and recurrent thermal instabilities that take place within the matter reinserted by stellar winds and supernovae. We show that the maximum speed of the RSs and of the cluster wind, are both functions of the temperature reached at the stagnation radius. This temperature depends only on the cluster heating efficiency ($η$). Based on our two dimensional simulations (Wunsch et al. 2008) we calculate the line profiles that result from several models and confirm our analytical predictions. From a comparison between the predicted and observed values of the half-width zero intensity of the two line components we conclude that the thermalization efficiency in SSC's above the threshold line must be lower than 20%.
