暗云中氢分子的形成泵

Formation Pumping of Molecular Hydrogen in Dark Clouds

摘要:

许多理论和实验室研究预测H2在高度激发的振转态下形成。在适当的星际区域的辐射中,可以观察到激发能级通过一连串的红外跃迁而弛豫。在这项工作中,我们通过准确描述化学和辐射转移,考虑到H/H2过渡区,在标准的稠密云模型H2形成泵。该模型包括最近的实验室数据H2的形成,以及星际紫外线场的影响,预测的气相H2分子和他们的红外发射光谱的人口。计算表明,H2的某些振动激发态可能在H2发生显著破坏的视线(如X射线源)上可被检测到,并提供了一个可能的解释,即为什么观测尝试导致迄今为止没有检测报告。

英文摘要:

Many theoretical and laboratory studies predict H2 to be formed in highly excited ro-vibrational states. The consequent relaxation of excited levels via a cascade of infrared transitions might be observable in emission from suitable interstellar regions. In this work, we model H2 formation pumping in standard dense clouds, taking into account the H/H2 transition zone, through an accurate description of chemistry and radiative transfer. The model includes recent laboratory data on H2 formation, as well as the effects of the interstellar UV field, predicting the populations of gas-phase H2 molecules and their IR emission spectra. Calculations suggest that some vibrationally excited states of H2 might be detectable towards lines of sight where significant destruction of H2 occurs, such as X-ray sources, and provide a possible explanation as to why observational attempts resulted in no detections reported to date.
