分子云中双流体效应的直接证据

Direct Evidence for Two-Fluid Effects in Molecular Clouds

David A. Tilley, Dinshaw S. Balsara

摘要:

我们提出了一个结合的理论和模拟为基础的考试的作用,双流体双极漂移的分子线宽。由离子-中性相互作用提供的耗散可以在中性分子的宽度和离子物种的宽度之间产生与声速相当的显著差异。我们表明,阿尔芬波和某些家庭的磁声波成为强阻尼的双极扩散规模的规模。利用RIEMANN程序,我们模拟了电离分数从10^{-2}到10^{-6}的双流体湍流。我们表明,波阻尼的离子速度的功率谱下降到低于中性速度时,测量的相对基础上。根据Li & Houde(2008)的一组动机性观察,我们产生了合成线宽-尺寸关系,显示了离子和中性线宽之间的差异,说明双流体效应在改变云中的MHD湍流中可以具有观测可检测的作用。

英文摘要:

We present a combination of theoretical and simulation-based examinations of the role of two-fluid ambipolar drift on molecular line widths. The dissipation provided by ion-neutral interactions can produce a significant difference between the widths of neutral molecules and the widths of ionic species, comparable to the sound speed. We demonstrate that Alfven waves and certain families of magnetosonic waves become strongly damped on scales comparable to the ambipolar diffusion scale. Using the RIEMANN code, we simulate two-fluid turbulence with ionization fractions ranging from 10^{-2} to 10^{-6}. We show that the wave damping causes the power spectrum of the ion velocity to drop below that of the neutral velocity when measured on a relative basis. Following a set of motivational observations by Li & Houde (2008), we produce synthetic line width-size relations that shows a difference between the ion and neutral line widths, illustrating that two-fluid effects can have an observationally detectable role in modifying the MHD turbulence in the clouds.
