星系喷泉和气体吸积

Galactic fountains and gas accretion

摘要:

像银河系这样的恒星形成盘星系每年需要吸积$\gsim$的气体来维持它们的恒星形成。这种气体吸积很可能来自热日冕的冷却,但仍然不清楚这个过程是如何发生的。我们目前的模拟支持的想法,这种冷却和随后的吸积所造成的冷银河喷泉云通过热日冕。开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定性从这些云中剥离气体,剥离的气体导致日冕气体在云的尾流中凝结。对于可能的银河系日冕和典型的喷泉云的参数,我们得到了一个全球吸积率的顺序,需要饲料的恒星形成。

英文摘要:

Star-forming disc galaxies such as the Milky Way need to accrete $\gsim$ 1 $M_{\odot}$ of gas each year to sustain their star formation. This gas accretion is likely to come from the cooling of the hot corona, however it is still not clear how this process can take place. We present simulations supporting the idea that this cooling and the subsequent accretion are caused by the passage of cold galactic-fountain clouds through the hot corona. The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability strips gas from these clouds and the stripped gas causes coronal gas to condense in the cloud's wake. For likely parameters of the Galactic corona and of typical fountain clouds we obtain a global accretion rate of the order of that required to feed the star formation.
