摘要:

理论论证表明,尘埃颗粒应该生长在分子云的密集寒冷部分。到目前为止,在近/中红外消光和毫米观测中收集到了更大颗粒的证据。然而,由于密度和尘埃特性(以及热辐射温度)之间复杂的相互作用,数据的解释变得更加困难。我们提出了新的斯皮策数据L183的波段,是敏感和不敏感的多环芳烃。本文用一系列三维高斯分布拟合了前人导出的消光AV图。对于不同的尘埃模型,我们计算的散射MIR辐射图像的结构,同意同意的AV地图,并比较它们的斯皮策数据。L183的Spitzer数据显示在3.6和4.5微米波段发射,而5.8微米波段显示轻微吸收。随机加热粒子的发射层应该与星际光学辐射最强散射层相一致,这在I波段图像上被视为与斯皮策图像中看到的发射区域不同的外表面。此外,预计PAH排放量将从4.5微米大幅增加至5.8微米,这是没有看到的。因此,我们将这种发射解释为MIR云辉。假设星际介质尘埃颗粒没有增长时,散射光模型不能再现斯皮策可测量的通量。相比之下,与密度增长的颗粒模型产生的图像与流量和图案相媲美的斯皮策图像在带3.6,4.5,和8.0微米。

英文摘要:

Theoretical arguments suggest that dust grains should grow in the dense cold parts of molecular clouds. Evidence of larger grains has so far been gathered in near/mid infrared extinction and millimeter observations. Interpreting the data is, however, aggravated by the complex interplay of density and dust properties (as well as temperature for thermal emission). We present new Spitzer data of L183 in bands that are sensitive and insensitive to PAHs. The visual extinction AV map derived in a former paper was fitted by a series of 3D Gaussian distributions. For different dust models, we calculate the scattered MIR radiation images of structures that agree agree with the AV map and compare them to the Spitzer data. The Spitzer data of L183 show emission in the 3.6 and 4.5 micron bands, while the 5.8 micron band shows slight absorption. The emission layer of stochastically heated particles should coincide with the layer of strongest scattering of optical interstellar radiation, which is seen as an outer surface on I band images different from the emission region seen in the Spitzer images. Moreover, PAH emission is expected to strongly increase from 4.5 to 5.8 micron, which is not seen. Hence, we interpret this emission to be MIR cloudshine. Scattered light modeling when assuming interstellar medium dust grains without growth does not reproduce flux measurable by Spitzer. In contrast, models with grains growing with density yield images with a flux and pattern comparable to the Spitzer images in the bands 3.6, 4.5, and 8.0 micron.
