静止、多尘HII区域的辐射压力

On Radiation Pressure in Static, Dusty HII Regions

B. T. Draine

摘要:

作用在气体和尘埃上的辐射压力导致HII区域的中心密度低于电离边界附近的密度。静力平衡下的HII区包含一系列相似解,由3个参数:β、γ和乘积(Q_0 n_rms)来表示; β表征恒星光谱,γ表征尘埃/气体比,Q_0是恒星的电离输出(光子/秒),n_rms是电离区内的均方根密度。采用β和γ的标准值,变化(Q_0 n_rms)生成一个单参数密度分布族,范围从几乎均匀的密度(小Q_0 n_rms)到空心球HII区域(大Q_0 n_rms)。当(Q_0 n_rms)超过10^{52} cm^{-3} s^{-1}时,尘埃HII区有明显的中心空洞,即使没有星风存在。对于给定的β、γ和(Q_0 n_rms),第四个量(可以是Q_0)确定HII区域的总体尺寸和密度。给出了密度和发射率分布的例子。我们展示了感兴趣的量-如峰-中心发射率比,均方根-平均密度比,边缘-均方根密度比,和气体吸收的电离光子的分数-取决于3个参数β,γ,和(Q_0 n_rms)。对于尘埃HII区域,气体和尘埃压缩到电离壳层中导致实际上是H的>13.6 eV光子的比例大幅增加(相对于具有相同尘埃/气体比和密度n=n_rms的均匀密度HII区域)。我们讨论了在何种程度上径向漂移的尘埃颗粒在HII地区可以改变的尘埃气体比。这些解决方案,真正的HII地区的适用性进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

Radiation pressure acting on gas and dust causes HII regions to have central densities that are lower than the density near the ionized boundary. HII regions in static equilibrium comprise a family of similarity solutions, parametrized by 3 parameters: beta, gamma, and the product (Q_0 n_rms); beta characterizes the stellar spectrum, gamma characterizes the dust/gas ratio, Q_0 is the ionizing output from the star (photons/s), and n_rms is the rms density within the ionized region. Adopting standard values for beta and gamma, varying (Q_0 n_rms) generates a one-parameter family of density profiles, ranging from nearly uniform density (small Q_0 n_rms), to hollow-sphere HII regions (large Q_0 n_rms). When (Q_0 n_rms) exceeds 10^{52} cm^{-3} s^{-1}, dusty HII regions have conspicuous central cavities, even if no stellar wind is present. For given beta, gamma and (Q_0 n_rms), a fourth quantity, which can be Q_0, determines the overall size and density of the HII region. Examples of density and emissivity profiles are given. We show how quantities of interest -- such as the peak-to-center emissivity ratio, the rms-to-mean density ratio, the edge-to-rms density ratio, and the fraction of the ionizing photons absorbed by the gas -- depend on the 3 parameters beta, gamma, and (Q_0 n_rms). For dusty HII regions, compression of the gas and dust into an ionized shell results in a substantial increase in the fraction of the >13.6 eV photons that actually ionize H (relative to a uniform density HII region with the same dust/gas ratio and density n=n_rms). We discuss the extent to which radial drift of dust grains in HII regions can alter the dust-to-gas ratio. The applicability of these solutions to real HII regions is discussed.
