银河系三个HII区星云性质的小空间尺度变化和丰度差异

Small-spatial scale variations of nebular properties and the abundance discrepancy in three Galactic HII regions

A. Mesa-Delgado, C. Esteban

摘要:

我们目前的结果长缝光谱在几个狭缝的位置,涵盖不同的形态结构的中央部分的三个明亮的银河系HII区域:M8,M17和NGC 7635。我们研究了大量的星云参数的空间分布,如消光系数,线通量,物理条件和离子丰度与我们的仪器可达到的最大空间分辨率。特别地,我们的目标是研究O^{2+}的丰度差异因子ADF(O^{2+})的行为,ADF(O^{2+})定义为来自碰撞激发和复合线的O^{2+}丰度的对数差异。我们发现,ADF(O^{2+})沿M8和M17的狭缝位置保持相当恒定。在NGC 7635的情况下,我们仅在沿着整个狭缝的积分光谱中检测到OII复合线,其中ADF(O^{2+})达到约0.59 dex的非常高的值。我们比较我们的结果与以前的猎户座星云。我们发现了几个证据,表明在M8中存在Herbig-Haro对象的候选者。

英文摘要:

We present results of long-slit spectroscopy in several slit positions that cover different morphological structures of the central parts of three bright Galactic HII regions: M8, M17 and NGC7635. We study the spatial distributions of a large number of nebular parameters such as the extinction coefficient, line fluxes, physical conditions and ionic abundances at the maximum spatial resolution attainable with our instrumentation. Particularly, our goal is to study the behaviour of the abundance discrepancy factor of O^{2+}, ADF(O^{2+}), defined as the logarithmic difference of the O^{2+} abundances derived from collisionally excited and recombination lines. We find that the ADF(O^{2+}) remains fairly constant along the slit positions of M8 and M17. In the case of NGC7635, we only detect the OII recombination lines in the integrated spectrum along the whole slit, where the ADF(O^{2+}) reaches a remarkably high value of about 0.59 dex. We compare our results with previous ones obtained for the Orion Nebula. We find several evidences that suggest the presence of a candidate to Herbig-Haro object in M8.
