星周和星际环境中的富勒烯

Fullerenes in circumstellar and interstellar environments

Jan Cami, Jeronimo Bernard-Salas, Els Peeters, Sarah E. Malek

摘要:

我们最近确定了几个发射带的斯皮策IRS光谱的不寻常的行星状星云Tc 1的红外活性振动模式的中性富勒烯物种C60和C70。从那时起,富勒烯带已经在代表星周和星际环境的各种来源中被检测到。粗略估计表明,C60约占这些来源中可用碳的0.1%-1.5%。在各种源中观察到的相对带强度与单光子加热和荧光冷却并不完全兼容,并且至少在某些源中通过热分布更好地再现。观测数据表明,富勒烯在演化恒星的星周环境中形成,并在星际介质中存活。它们究竟是如何形成的,仍然是一个有争议的问题。

英文摘要:

We recently identified several emission bands in the Spitzer-IRS spectrum of the unusual planetary nebula Tc 1 with the infrared active vibrational modes of the neutral fullerene species C60 and C70. Since then, the fullerene bands have been detected in a variety of sources representing circumstellar and interstellar environments. Abundance estimates suggest that C60 represents ~0.1%-1.5% of the available carbon in those sources. The observed relative band intensities in various sources are not fully compatible with single-photon heating and fluorescent cooling, and are better reproduced by a thermal distribution at least in some sources. The observational data suggests that fullerenes form in the circumstellar environments of evolved stars, and survive in the interstellar medium. Precisely how they form is still a matter of debate.
