晶粒长大对星际极化曲线的影响

Effects of grain growth on the interstellar polarization curve

Nikolai V. Voshchinnikov, Hiroyuki Hirashita

摘要:

我们应用在我们以前的工作中发现的吸积和凝聚的粒度分布的时间演化的星际线性偏振的波长依赖性的建模。我们特别关注的Serkowski曲线$K$和$λ_{\max}$的参数,分别表征该曲线的宽度和最大波长。我们使用具有不同纵横比$a/b$的定向硅酸盐和非定向碳质球状颗粒。考虑了晶粒尺寸大于截止尺寸$r_{V,\rm cut}$的不完全排列。我们发现,在原始模型中,与常用的材料参数(氢数密度$n_\mathrm{H}=10^3$ cm $^{-3}$,气体温度$T_\mathrm{gas}=10$ ~K,吸积$S_\mathrm{acc}=0.3$的粘附概率)的极化曲线上的演变的影响是可以忽略不计的。因此,我们应用的调整模型,其中硅酸盐的混凝阈值被删除。在这个模型中,$λ_{\max}$位移到更长的波长,并且偏振曲线在时间尺度$\sim (30 - 50) (n_\mathrm{H}/10^3 \mathrm{cm}^{-3})^{-1}$ Myr上变得更宽($K$减小)。在$T < 30 (n_\mathrm{H}/10^3 \mathrm{cm}^{-3})^{-1} $ Myr和参数$r_{V,\rm cut}$的不同值下的调谐模型也可以解释在$K$和$λ_{\max}$之间观察到的趋势。在$K$ - $λ_{\max}$图上,进化效应出现在与$r_{V,\rm cut}$效应垂直的方向上,这是有意义的。如果我们改变粒子的类型(长/扁)和/或改变$a/b$,可以再现非常窄的极化曲线。

英文摘要:

We apply the time evolution of grain size distributions by accretion and coagulation found in our previous work to the modelling of the wavelength dependence of interstellar linear polarization. We especially focus on the parameters of the Serkowski curve $K$ and $λ_{\max}$ characterizing the width and the maximum wavelength of this curve, respectively. We use aligned silicate and non-aligned carbonaceous spheroidal particles with different aspect ratios $a/b$. The imperfect alignment of grains with sizes larger than a cut-off size $r_{V,\rm cut}$ is considered. We find that the evolutionary effects on the polarization curve are negligible in the original model with commonly used material parameters (hydrogen number density $n_\mathrm{H}=10^3$ cm$^{-3}$, gas temperature $T_\mathrm{gas}=10$~K, and the sticking probability for accretion $S_\mathrm{acc}=0.3$). Therefore, we apply the tuned model where the coagulation threshold of silicate is removed. In this model, $λ_{\max}$ displaces to the longer wavelengths and the polarization curve becomes wider ($K$ reduces) on time-scales $\sim (30 - 50) (n_\mathrm{H}/10^3 \mathrm{cm}^{-3})^{-1}$ Myr. The tuned models at $T < 30 (n_\mathrm{H}/10^3 \mathrm{cm}^{-3})^{-1} $ Myr and different values of the parameters $r_{V,\rm cut}$ can also explain the observed trend between $K$ and $λ_{\max}$. It is significant that the evolutionary effect appears in the perpendicular direction to the effect of $r_{V,\rm cut}$ on the $K$ - $λ_{\max}$ diagram. Very narrow polarization curves can be reproduced if we change the type of particles (prolate/oblate) and/or vary $a/b$.
