300 pc内NaI和CaII星际吸收的新三维气体密度图

New 3-D gas density maps of NaI and CaII interstellar absorption within 300pc

摘要:

我们提出了新的高分辨率(R> 50,000)的吸收测量的NaI双(5889 - 5895 A)沿482个附近的视线,除了807个新的测量的CaII K(3933 A)吸收线。我们将这些新数据与先前报道的测量结果相结合,产生了一个对位于太阳800 pc范围内的1857颗早期型恒星的选择目录。利用这些数据,我们确定了离太阳300 pc距离立方体内中性和部分电离星际气体密度的近似三维空间分布。所有新记录的光谱进行了分析,通过一个多组分线轮廓拟合程序,在大多数情况下,使用同时拟合线双峰。通过改变所有星际云的速度、多普勒宽度和柱密度,拟合出归一化的吸收剖面。由此产生的总柱密度,然后使用与依巴谷距离的目标恒星构建反演地图的3-D空间密度分布的碘化钠和钙II轴承气体。NaI的等效宽度与距离的关系图显示,在约80 pc处有一个中性气体壁,它可能与中心稀薄局部空腔区域的边界壁有关。相比之下,CaII等效宽度的类似图显示在80 pc处没有急剧增加的吸收,而是我们观察到CaII等效宽度的值随着采样的视线距离的增加而缓慢增加。

英文摘要:

We present new high resolution (R>50,000) absorption measurements of the NaI doublet (5889 - 5895A) along 482 nearby sight-lines, in addition to 807 new measurements of the CaII K (3933A) absorption line. We have combined these new data with previously reported measurements to produce a catalog of absorptions towards a total of 1857 early-type stars located within 800pc of the Sun. Using these data we have determined the approximate 3-dimensional spatial distribution of neutral and partly ionized interstellar gasdensity within a distance-cube of 300pc from the Sun. All newly recorded spectra were analyzed by means of a multi-component line profile-fitting program, in most cases using simultaneous fits to the line doublets. Normalized absorption profiles were fitted by varying the velocity, doppler width and column density for all intervening interstellar clouds. The resulting total column densities were then used in conjunction with the Hipparcos distances of the target stars to construct inversion maps of the 3-D spatial density distribution of the NaI and CaII bearing gas. A plot of the equivalent width of NaI versus distance reveals a wall of neutral gas at ~80pc that can be associated with the boundary wall to the central rarefied Local Cavity region. In contrast, a similar plot for the equivalent width of CaII shows no sharply increasing absorption at 80pc, but instead we observe a slowly increasing value of CaII equivalent width with increasing sight-line distance sampled.
