银心50 km s $^{-1}$分子云中分子团的统计性质

Statistical Properties of Molecular Clumps in the Galactic Center 50 km s$^{-1}$ Molecular Cloud

Masato Tsuboi, Atsushi Miyazaki

摘要:

利用野边山毫米波阵对银河系中心50 km/s $^{-1}$分子云(GCM-0.02-0.07)进行观测,给出了分子团的统计特性。用{ \it clumpfind}算法在云中识别出37个局部热平衡质量为$2\times10^2-6\times10^3 M_\odot$的分子团簇。分子团的速度宽度大约是相同半径的银河系盘分子云的5倍。维里定理的质量是LTE质量的三倍。质谱和尺寸谱可分别由$dN/dM\propto M^{-2.6\pm0.1}$($M\gtrsim 900M_\odot$)和$dN/dR\propto R^{-5.9\pm0.3}$($R\gtrsim 0.35$ pc)的幂律描述。与Sgr A东壳相互作用的区域的统计特性和云的非相互作用部分的统计特性是显着不同的。相互作用可能使质量函数变陡,从非相互作用部分的$dN/dM\propto M^{-2.0\pm0.1}$到相互作用区域的$dN/dM\propto M^{-4.0\pm0.2}$。另一方面,相互作用可能截断了$R\sim 0.4$ pc较大一侧的尺寸谱。

英文摘要:

We present the statistical properties of molecular clumps in the Galactic center 50 km s$^{-1}$ molecular cloud (GCM-0.02-0.07) based on observations of the CS $J=1-0$ emission line with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array. In the cloud, 37 molecular clumps with local thermal equilibrium (LTE) masses of $2\times10^2-6\times10^3 M_\odot$ were identified by using the {\it clumpfind} algorithm. The velocity widths of the molecular clumps are about five-fold those of Galactic disk molecular clouds with the same radius. The virial-theorem masses are three-fold the LTE masses. The mass and size spectra can be described by power laws of $dN/dM\propto M^{-2.6\pm0.1}$ ($M\gtrsim 900M_\odot$) and $dN/dR\propto R^{-5.9\pm0.3}$ ($R\gtrsim 0.35$ pc), respectively. The statistical properties of the region interacting with the Sgr A East shell and those of the non-interacting part of the cloud are significantly different. The interaction probably makes the mass function steeper, from $dN/dM\propto M^{-2.0\pm0.1}$ in the non-interacting part to $dN/dM\propto M^{-4.0\pm0.2}$ in the interacting region. On the other hand, the interaction presumably truncates the size spectrum on the larger side of $R\sim 0.4$ pc.
