高质量恒星形成区H2O的Herschel-HIFI观测:第一个结果

Herschel-HIFI observations of H2O in high-mass star-forming regions: first results

Floris van der Tak, Fabrice Herpin, Friedrich Wyrowski

摘要:

本文回顾了Herschel-HIFI对高质量恒星形成区的H2O谱线发射观测的第一批结果,这些结果是在WISH保证时间计划内获得的。这些数据揭示了三种气相H2O:“云水”在寒冷稀薄的前景云,“信封水”在密集的原恒星信封,和“外流水”在原恒星流出。前景云和原恒星包层中的低H2O丰度(1 e-10 - 1 e-9)分别是由于快速光解和冻结在尘埃颗粒上。外流显示较高的H2O丰度(1 e-7 - 1 e-6),由于颗粒地幔蒸发和(可能)中性-中性反应。

英文摘要:

This paper reviews the first results of observations of H2O line emission with Herschel-HIFI towards high-mass star-forming regions, obtained within the WISH guaranteed time program. The data reveal three kinds of gas-phase H2O: `cloud water' in cold tenuous foreground clouds, `envelope water' in dense protostellar envelopes, and `outflow water' in protostellar outflows. The low H2O abundance (1e-10 -- 1e-9) in foreground clouds and protostellar envelopes is due to rapid photodissociation and freeze-out on dust grains, respectively. The outflows show higher H2O abundances (1e-7 -- 1e-6) due to grain mantle evaporation and (probably) neutral-neutral reactions.
