用河外源的ISO精细结构线数据检验PDR模型

Testing PDR models against ISO fine structure line data for extragalactic sources

摘要:

远红外[C ii] 158微米,[O i] 145微米和[O i] 63微米精细结构发射线通量的测量从档案红外空间天文台长波长光谱仪光谱的46个河外源,28个源提供检测在所有三条线。对于12个来源,[C二] 158微米线通量从H二区域的贡献可以估计从他们检测到的[N二] 122微米线通量。测得的[C ii]/[O i]和[O i] 63/145微米线通量比与先前使用UCL PDR代码计算的PDR模型网格的通量比进行了比较。观测到的和模拟的线比之间的持续偏移可以部分归因于[O i] 63微米自吸收的影响。使用SMMOL代码,我们计算了模型[O i]线轮廓,发现[O i] 63微米线的强度降低了20- 80%,这取决于PDR参数。我们的结论是,高PDR密度和辐射场强度,再加上[O i] 63微米自吸收的影响,很可能提供最好的匹配所观察到的线通量比。

英文摘要:

Far-infrared [C ii] 158 micron, [O i] 145 micron and [O i] 63 micron fine structure emission line fluxes were measured from archival Infrared Space Observatory Long Wavelength Spectrometer spectra of 46 extragalactic sources, with 28 sources providing detections in all three lines. For 12 of the sources, the contribution to the [C ii] 158 micron line flux from H ii regions could be estimated from their detected [N ii] 122 micron line fluxes. The measured [C ii]/[O i] and [O i] 63/145 micron line flux ratios were compared with those from a grid of PDR models previously computed using the UCL PDR code. Persistent offsets between the observed and modelled line ratios could be partly attributed to the effects of [O i] 63 micron self-absorption. Using the SMMOL code, we calculated model [O i] line profiles and found that the strength of the [O i] 63 micron line was reduced by 20-80%, depending on the PDR parameters. We conclude that high PDR densities and radiation field strengths, coupled with the effects of [O i] 63 micron self-absorption, are likely to provide the best match to the observed line flux ratios.
