星际和星周分子的红外振动-转动光谱解释

Interpretation of Infrared Vibration-Rotation Spectra of Interstellar and Circumstellar Molecules

John H. Lacy

摘要:

红外振转谱线可以作为星际和星周分子,特别是对称分子的有价值的探针,因为这些分子没有纯转动跃迁。但是大多数这样的观测结果都是用等温吸收板模型来解释的,它忽略了重要的辐射转移和分子激发效应。建立了一个更符合实际的非线性非等温辐射转移模型。该模型的结果与观测结果吻合得更好,包括振转带的一个分支中的线处于吸收而另一个分支中的线处于发射的情况。一般来说,基于等温吸收板模型的结论可能会产生很大的误导,但LTE的假设可能不会导致如此大的误差,特别是如果辐射场温度接近气体温度。

英文摘要:

Infrared vibration-rotation lines can be valuable probes of interstellar and circumstellar molecules, especially symmetric molecules, which have no pure rotational transitions. But most such observations have been interpreted with an isothermal absorbing slab model, which leaves out important radiative transfer and molecular excitation effects. A more realistic non-LTE and non-isothermal radiative transfer model has been constructed. The results of this model are in much better agreement with the observations, including cases where lines in one branch of a vibration-rotation band are in absorption and another in emission. In general, conclusions based on the isothermal absorbing slab model can be very misleading, but the assumption of LTE may not lead to such large errors, particularly if the radiation field temperature is close to the gas temperature.
