摘要:

Herschel/HIFI的高光谱分辨率和灵敏度允许探测多条旋转水线,并准确确定彗星的产水率。在这封信中,我们提出了基本的110-101(557 GHz)ortho和111-000(1113 GHz)para旋转过渡的水在彗星81 P/野生2在2010年2月获得的HIFI观测。我们用五点扫描绘制了水线发射的范围。线轮廓计算使用激发模型,其中包括与电子和中性粒子和太阳红外辐射碰撞激发。我们推导出一个平均水生产率的$1.0 \times 10^{28}$分子s $^{-1}$在日心距离为1.61 AU约20天前近日点,与生产率从地面测量使用的18厘米OH线的意见。此外,我们约束的电子密度分布和气体动力学温度,并估计彗发膨胀速度通过拟合的水线形状。

英文摘要:

The high spectral resolution and sensitivity of Herschel/HIFI allows for the detection of multiple rotational water lines and accurate determinations of water production rates in comets. In this letter we present HIFI observations of the fundamental 110-101 (557 GHz) ortho and 111-000 (1113 GHz) para rotational transitions of water in comet 81P/Wild 2 acquired in February 2010. We mapped the extent of the water line emission with five point scans. Line profiles are computed using excitation models which include excitation by collisions with electrons and neutrals and solar infrared radiation. We derive a mean water production rate of $1.0 \times 10^{28}$ molecules s$^{-1}$ at a heliocentric distance of 1.61 AU about 20 days before perihelion, in agreement with production rates measured from the ground using observations of the 18-cm OH lines. Furthermore, we constrain the electron density profile and gas kinetic temperature, and estimate the coma expansion velocity by fitting the water line shapes.
