Galerkin中的辐射压力反馈

Radiation Pressure Feedback in Galaxies

Brett H. Andrews, Todd A. Thompson

摘要:

通过比较恒星形成系统的光度和通量与尘埃爱丁顿极限,我们评估了恒星形成星系中作为反馈机制的星光对尘埃的辐射压力。线性LFIR-L 'HCN相关提供了星系可能受辐射压力反馈调节的证据。我们发现,恒星形成的星系的方法,但不显着超过爱丁顿,但许多系统显着低于爱丁顿,也许是由于“不稳定性”的恒星形成。更好的约束的粉尘-气体比和CO-和HCN-到-H2的转换因子,需要作出明确的评估辐射压力作为反馈机制。

英文摘要:

We evaluate radiation pressure from starlight on dust as a feedback mechanism in star-forming galaxies by comparing the luminosity and flux of star-forming systems to the dust Eddington limit. The linear LFIR--L'HCN correlation provides evidence that galaxies may be regulated by radiation pressure feedback. We show that star-forming galaxies approach but do not dramatically exceed Eddington, but many systems are significantly below Eddington, perhaps due to the "intermittency" of star formation. Better constraints on the dust-to-gas ratio and the CO- and HCN-to-H2 conversion factors are needed to make a definitive assessment of radiation pressure as a feedback mechanism.
