摘要:

我们提出了一系列光滑粒子流体动力学模型G0.253+0.016(也被称为“砖”),一个非常密集的分子云,靠近银河系中心。我们探索如何气体和尘埃温度的反应,因为我们改变了星际辐射场(ISRF)和宇宙射线电离率(CRIR)的强度。由于G0.253+0.016沿着我们视线的物理范围是未知的,我们考虑两种可能性:一种是最长轴是在天空平面上测量的(长度为9.4 pc),另一种是沿着视线,在这种情况下,我们认为它是17 pc。为了恢复观测到的气体和尘埃温度,我们发现ISRF必须是太阳邻域值的1000倍左右,CRIR必须大约为1 E-14 /s,无论研究的几何形状如何。对于这样高的CRIR值,我们发现,在云的内部冷却主要是由中性氧,在标准的分子云,在相同的密度,主要是通过CO冷却。我们的研究结果表明,G0.253+0.016附近的条件是更极端的比那些普遍接受的内部500 pc的星系。

英文摘要:

We present a series of smoothed particle hydrodynamical models of G0.253+0.016 (also known as 'The Brick'), a very dense molecular cloud that lies close to the Galactic Centre. We explore how its gas and dust temperatures react as we vary the strength of both the interstellar radiation field (ISRF) and the cosmic ray ionisation rate (CRIR). As the physical extent of G0.253+0.016 along our line-of-sight is unknown, we consider two possibilities: one in which the longest axis is that measured in the plane of the sky (9.4 pc in length), and one in which it is along the line of sight, in which case we take it to be 17 pc. To recover the observed gas and dust temperatures, we find find that the ISRF must be around 1000 times the solar neighbourhood value, and the CRIR must be roughly 1E-14 /s, regardless of the geometries studied. For such high values of the CRIR, we find that cooling in the cloud's interior is dominated by neutral oxygen, in contrast to standard molecular clouds, which at the same densities are mainly cooled via CO. Our results suggest that the conditions near G0.253+0.016 are more extreme than those generally accepted for the inner 500 pc of the galaxy.
