摘要:

氢化物代表了星际化学的第一步。特别是硫代氨基甲烷(SH $^+$),是高能过程的关键示踪剂。我们使用ALMA和IRAM 30 m望远镜搜索SH $^+$朝向猎户座棒的最低频率旋转线,猎户座棒是由强紫外辐射场照射的典型光解离区域。在以往对SH $^+$的$Herschel$ /HIFI观测的基础上,我们期望在346 GHz附近探测到$N_J = 1_0 - 0_1$精细结构(FS)分量的两个SH $^+$超精细结构(HFS)分量的发射。虽然我们在实验室数据预测的频率下没有观察到任何谱线,但我们检测到两条发射谱线,每条$\sim$比SH $^+$预测高15 MHz,并且具有SH $^+$预期的相对强度和HFS分裂。这两条新探测到的谱线的静止频率与SH $^+$实验室数据的其余部分比在346 GHz附近的实验室中测得的、先前归因于SH $^+$的单条谱线更相容。因此,我们将这些新的功能分配给两个SH $^+$ HFS组件的$N_J = 1_0 - 0_1$ FS组件,并重新确定其光谱参数,这将是有用的SH $^+$的未来观测,特别是如果其最低频率FS组件进行了研究。我们的观察表明,这些线的SH $^+$搜索在地面上很容易访问的频率的适用性。

英文摘要:

Hydrides represent the first steps of interstellar chemistry. Sulfanylium (SH$^+$), in particular, is a key tracer of energetic processes. We used ALMA and the IRAM 30 m telescope to search for the lowest frequency rotational lines of SH$^+$ toward the Orion Bar, the prototypical photo-dissociation region illuminated by a strong UV radiation field. On the basis of previous $Herschel$/HIFI observations of SH$^+$, we expected to detect emission of the two SH$^+$ hyperfine structure (HFS) components of the $N_J = 1_0 - 0_1$ fine structure (FS) component near 346 GHz. While we did not observe any lines at the frequencies predicted from laboratory data, we detected two emission lines, each $\sim$15 MHz above the SH$^+$ predictions and with relative intensities and HFS splitting expected for SH$^+$. The rest frequencies of the two newly detected lines are more compatible with the remainder of the SH$^+$ laboratory data than the single line measured in the laboratory near 346 GHz and previously attributed to SH$^+$. Therefore, we assign these new features to the two SH$^+$ HFS components of the $N_J = 1_0 - 0_1$ FS component and re-determine its spectroscopic parameters, which will be useful for future observations of SH$^+$, in particular if its lowest frequency FS components are studied. Our observations demonstrate the suitability of these lines for SH$^+$ searches at frequencies easily accessible from the ground.
