摘要:

过氧化氢(HOOH)分子可能是星际介质中氧和水化学的关键成分。我们这次调查的目的是确定云核ρ Oph A中HOOH的丰度。通过观察几个过渡的HOOH在(亚)毫米制度,我们试图确定的分子,并确定通过多级激发分析的激发条件。我们已经探测到三条朝向ρ Oph A的SM 1位置的谱线,其速度校正频率与从HOOH的实验室光谱学测量的频率非常接近。在4 σ水平检测到第四条线。我们还发现HOOH辐射在ρ Oph A云核的近红外部分延伸(约0.05pc)。我们推导出SM 1核心中HOOH相对于H_2的丰度约为1 \times 10 ^(-10)。据我们所知,这是首次报道在星际介质中探测到HOOH。

英文摘要:

The molecular species hydrogen peroxide, HOOH, is likely to be a key ingredient in the oxygen and water chemistry in the interstellar medium. Our aim with this investigation is to determine how abundant HOOH is in the cloud core ρ Oph A. By observing several transitions of HOOH in the (sub)millimeter regime we seek to identify the molecule and also to determine the excitation conditions through a multilevel excitation analysis. We have detected three spectral lines toward the SM1 position of ρ Oph A at velocity-corrected frequencies that coincide very closely with those measured from laboratory spectroscopy of HOOH. A fourth line was detected at the 4σ level. We also found through mapping observations that the HOOH emission extends (about 0.05 pc) over the densest part of the ρ Oph A cloud core. We derive an abundance of HOOH relative to that of H_2 in the SM1 core of about 1\times10^(-10). To our knowledge, this is the first reported detection of HOOH in the interstellar medium.
