摘要:

我们构建了气体-颗粒化学网络模型,其中包括碳同位素(12 C和13 C),重点是同位素交换反应。通过数值计算,研究了冷密云核中CCH和CCS的分子丰度、碳同位素比值(12 CX/13 CX)和同位素异构体比值(12 C 13 CX/13 C 12 CX)的时间变化。我们确认,无论是在气相和晶粒表面的分子的同位素比,是显着不同的取决于分子是由碳原子(离子)或CO分子。由碳原子形成的分子具有大于[12 C/13 C]的元素丰度比的CX/13 CX比。另一方面,由CO分子形成的分子具有小于[12 C/13 C]比的CX/13 CX比。如果同位素异构体交换反应13 CCH + H C13 CH <->+ H + 8.1 K进行时正向速率系数kf &gt; 10^-11 cm 3 s-1,我们重现了在TMC-1中观测到的C13 CH/13 CCH比值。然而,C13 CS/13 CCS比低于TMC-1中观察到的比例。然后我们假设H原子催化的同位素异构体交换反应,13 CCS + H <->C13 CS + H + 17.4 K。在此反应模型中,我们同时重现了所观察到的C13 CS/13 CCS、CCS/C13 CS和CCS/13 CCS比率。

英文摘要:

We construct the gas-grain chemical network model which includes carbon isotopes (12C and 13C) with an emphasis on isotopomer-exchange reactions. Temporal variations of molecular abundances, the carbon isotope ratios (12CX/13CX) and the isotopomer ratios (12C13CX/13C12CX) of CCH and CCS in cold dense cloud cores are investigated by numerical calculations. We confirm that the isotope ratios of molecules, both in the gas phase and grain surfaces, are significantly different depending on whether the molecule is formed from the carbon atom (ion) or the CO molecule. Molecules formed from carbon atoms have the CX/13CX ratios greater than the elemental abundance ratio of [12C/13C]. On the other hand, molecules formed from CO molecules have the CX/13CX ratios smaller than the [12C/13C] ratio. We reproduce the observed C13CH/13CCH ratio in TMC-1, if the isotopomer exchange reaction, 13CCH + H <-> C13CH + H + 8.1 K, proceeds with the forward rate coefficient kf > 10^-11 cm3 s-1. However, the C13CS/13CCS ratio is lower than that observed in TMC-1. We then assume the isotopomer exchange reaction catalyzed by the H atom, 13CCS + H <-> C13CS + H + 17.4 K. In the model with this reaction, we reproduce the observed C13CS/13CCS, CCS/C13CS and CCS/13CCS ratio simultaneously.
