在W28 A2大质量恒星形成区的辐射激波:一个宇宙射线加速的地方?

Irradiated shocks in the W28 A2 massive star-forming region: a site for cosmic rays acceleration?

A. Gusdorf, A. Marcowith, M. Gerin, R. Guesten

摘要:

大质量恒星的形成从许多角度来看在星系中起着至关重要的作用。原恒星产生强烈的紫外线辐射场,电离其周围环境,并以喷流和双极外流的形式在邻近介质中驱动强大的冲击波,其结构可部分由局部强磁场组织。这种喷射活动局部地改变了星际化学,有助于物质的循环。它还显著参与星系的能量平衡。在大质量恒星形成的后期阶段,原恒星被一个超致密的HII区域所包围,并辐射出其双极外流,其中固有的强磁场结构与通常的高密度相关联。在HII区域或双极流出中,强磁场、物质的显着电离和大量可用的机械能的同时存在,可以提出原位宇宙射线加速的问题。在这篇文章中,我们将只总结我们基于APEX,IRAM 30 m和Herschel望远镜的观测,对W28 A2大质量恒星形成区的潜在原位宇宙射线加速辐射激波的研究结果,并在Gusdorf等人的论文中提出。最近提交给A&A。

英文摘要:

The formation of massive stars play a crucial role in galaxies from numerous points of view. The protostar generates a strong ultraviolet radiation field that ionizes its surroundings, and it drives powerful shock waves in the neighbouring medium in the form of jets and bipolar outflows, whose structure can be partially organized by local, strong magnetic field. Such an ejection activity locally modifies the interstellar chemistry, contributing to the cycle of matter. It also significantly participates to the energetic balance of galaxies. In the latter stages of massive star formation, the protostar is surrounded by an ultra-compact HII region, and irradiates its bipolar outflows, where an intrinsically strong magnetic field structure is associated to the generally high densities. In the HII region, or in the bipolar outflows, the question of in situ cosmic rays acceleration can then be raised by the simultaneous presence of strong magnetic fields, significant ionization of the matter, and mechanical energy available in large quantities. In this contribution, we will only summarise the results of our study of potential in situ cosmic rays acceleration the irradiated shocks in the W28 A2 massive star forming region, based on observations from the APEX, IRAM 30m, and Herschel telescopes, and presented in Gusdorf et al., recently submitted to A&A.
