湍流天体物理介质中的原子化学I:原子冷却效应

Atomic Chemistry In Turbulent Astrophysical Media I: Effect of Atomic Cooling

William J Gray, Evan Scannapieco, Daniel Kasen

摘要:

我们进行直接数值模拟的湍流天体物理介质,明确跟踪电离,重组,和物种的辐射冷却。模拟假设太阳的组成,并遵循氢,氦,碳,氧,钠和镁的演变,但它们不包括电离背景的存在。在这种情况下,介质达到一个全局稳定状态,该状态纯粹是一维湍流速度色散$σ_{\rm 1D},$和平均密度与湍流驱动尺度的乘积的函数,我们的模拟跨越了一个网格模型,其中$n L.$的范围为6到58 km s $^{-1}$,$n L$的范围为10 $^{16}$到10 $^{20}$ cm $^{-2},$,它们对应于湍流马赫数。从$M=0.2$到10.6的数字。当$M$很小时,物种丰度可以很好地由单一温度估计来描述,但是当$M \gtrsim 1.$时,局部平衡模型不能准确地预测全局平衡丰度。为了使未来的研究能够考虑湍流介质中的非平衡效应,我们将我们的结果收集到一系列表格中,我们将在未来扩展到包括更广泛的元素,成分和电离过程。

英文摘要:

We carry out direct numerical simulations of turbulent astrophysical media that explicitly track ionizations, recombinations, and species-by-species radiative cooling. The simulations assume solar composition and follows the evolution of hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen, sodium, and magnesium, but they do not include the presence of an ionizing background. In this case, the medium reaches a global steady state that is purely a function of the one-dimensional turbulent velocity dispersion, $σ_{\rm 1D},$ and the product of the mean density and the driving scale of turbulence, $n L.$ Our simulations span a grid of models with $σ_{\rm 1D}$ ranging from 6 to 58 km s$^{-1}$ and $n L$ ranging from 10$^{16}$ to 10$^{20}$ cm$^{-2},$ which correspond to turbulent Mach numbers from $M=0.2$ to 10.6. The species abundances are well described by single-temperature estimates whenever $M$ is small, but local equilibrium models can not accurately predict the global equilibrium abundances when $M \gtrsim 1.$ To allow future studies to account for nonequilibrium effects in turbulent media, we gather our results into a series of tables, which we will extend in the future to encompass a wider range of elements, compositions, and ionizing processes.
