SPH星系模拟的21厘米银河平面综合巡天

A Synthetic 21-cm Galactic Plane Survey of an SPH Galaxy Simulation

摘要:

我们已经创建了合成中性氢(HI)银河平面调查数据立方体覆盖90度< l < 180度,使用一个模型的螺旋星系从SPH模拟和辐射转移代码TORUS。密度,温度和其他物理参数从SPH模拟送入TORUS,在那里计算HI发射率和不透明度,然后确定21厘米线发射轮廓。我们的主要重点是观测外星系“英仙座臂”HI,以便追踪原子气体在进入螺旋臂界面时遇到冲击运动的情况,这是形成分子云的早期步骤。HI自吸收功能在这些冲击网站的观察(在实际观测和我们的合成数据),使我们能够进一步研究冷原子气体和分子云形成的发病之间的联系。

英文摘要:

We have created synthetic neutral hydrogen (HI) Galactic Plane Survey data cubes covering 90 degrees < l < 180 degrees, using a model spiral galaxy from SPH simulations and the radiative transfer code TORUS. The density, temperature and other physical parameters are fed from the SPH simulation into TORUS, where the HI emissivity and opacity are calculated before the 21-cm line emission profile is determined. Our main focus is the observation of Outer Galaxy `Perseus Arm' HI, with a view to tracing atomic gas as it encounters shock motions as it enters a spiral arm interface, an early step in the formation of molecular clouds. The observation of HI self-absorption features at these shock sites (in both real observations and our synthetic data) allows us to investigate further the connection between cold atomic gas and the onset of molecular cloud formation.
