暗分子核中interstellar dust颗粒地幔的亚表面化学

Subsurface chemistry of mantles of interstellar dust grains in dark molecular cores

Juris Kalvans, Ivar Shmeld

摘要:

上下文星际分子云中许多观测到的化合物的丰度仍然缺乏解释,尽管广泛的研究包括气体和固体(尘埃颗粒表面)相反应。目标。我们的目标是定性地证明这样一个想法,即星际颗粒上的氢贫乏的地下化学至少是这些化学“异常”的一部分。当地幔中的光分解反应释放出游离氢时,这种化学反应在冰冷的地幔中发展,游离氢通过扩散逃离地幔。这导致地幔的化学成分发生严重变化,因为地幔中的孔隙为新的贫氢环境中的反应提供了表面。方法.我们提出了一个简单的动力学模型,使用现有的天体化学反应数据库。气相,表面和地下孔隙反应包括在内,是分子的物理转化。结果我们的模型产生显着更高的丰度比大多数其他模型的各种氧化物种。对于某些具有足够反应网络的物种,我们也得到了很好的结果。因此,我们认为贫氢地幔化学可能确实在分子云的化学演化中起作用。结论.氢向外扩散的重要性还有待进一步研究证实。许多氧化物种之间的大量固相反应对于获得良好的定量建模结果以与观测结果进行比较至关重要。我们推测,各种无法观测到的贫氢硫含氧酸衍生物可能是负责的“消失”的硫在暗云核心。

英文摘要:

Context. The abundances of many observed compounds in interstellar molecular clouds still lack an explanation, despite extensive research that includes both gas and solid (dust-grain surface) phase reactions. Aims. We aim to qualitatively prove the idea that a hydrogen-poor subsurface chemistry on interstellar grains is responsible for at least some of these chemical "anomalies". This chemistry develops in the icy mantles when photodissociation reactions in the mantle release free hydrogen, which escapes the mantle via diffusion. This results in serious alterations of the chemical composition of the mantle because pores in the mantle provide surfaces for reactions in the new, hydrogen-poor environment. Methods. We present a simple kinetic model, using existing astrochemical reaction databases. Gas phase, surface and subsurface pore reactions are included, as are physical transformations of molecules. Results. Our model produces significantly higher abundances for various oxidized species than most other models. We also obtain quite good results for some individual species that have adequate reaction network. Thus, we consider that the hydrogen-poor mantle chemistry may indeed play a role in the chemical evolution of molecular clouds. Conclusions. The significance of outward hydrogen diffusion has to be proved by further research. A huge number of solid phase reactions between many oxidized species is essential to obtain good, quantitative modeling results for a comparison with observations. We speculate that a variety of unobservable hydrogen-poor sulfur oxoacid derivatives may be responsible for the "disappearance" of sulfur in dark cloud cores.
