费米-LAT时代的H I自旋温度

H I spin temperature in the Fermi-LAT era

Gudlaugur Johannesson, Igor Moskalenko, Seth Digel

摘要:

银河系中弥漫的高能γ射线辐射是由宇宙射线与星际气体和辐射场相互作用产生的。中性氢(H I)气体成分是迄今为止星际介质中质量最大、分布最广的成分。如果已知发射气体的自旋温度(Ts),则使用来自原子氢的超精细结构跃迁的21-cm发射线,可以确定H I的列密度。对弥散伽马射线辐射的研究通常依赖于银河系中所有H I的自旋温度固定不变的假设。不幸的是,对明亮背景源的H I吸收的观测表明,它在银河系中的位置变化很大。我们将讨论更好地处理银河系的扩散发射建模使用费米-LAT数据和直接观察的自旋温度使用H I吸收的自旋温度的方法。

英文摘要:

The diffuse high-energy gamma-ray emission of the Milky Way arises from interactions of cosmic-rays (CRs) with interstellar gas and radiation field in the Galaxy. The neutral hydrogen (H I) gas component is by far the most massive and broadly distributed component of the interstellar medium. Using the 21-cm emission line from the hyperfine structure transition of atomic hydrogen it is possible to determine the column density of H I if the spin temperature (Ts) of the emitting gas is known. Studies of diffuse gamma-ray emission have generally relied on the assumption of a fixed, constant spin temperature for all H I in the Milky Way. Unfortunately, observations of H I in absorption against bright background sources has shown it to vary greatly with location in the Milky Way. We will discuss methods for better handling of spin temperatures for Galactic diffuse emission modeling using the Fermi-LAT data and direct observation of the spin temperature using H I absorption.
