摘要:

我们开发了一个详细的化学网络相关的条件特征的星前核心崩溃。我们解决了系统的时间依赖性微分方程来计算分子和尘埃颗粒的平衡丰度,与尺寸箱为这些后者的尺寸分布。这些丰度被用来计算不同的非理想磁流体动力学双极性(双极,欧姆和霍尔),需要进行模拟的原恒星崩溃。在这种情况下,我们第一次考虑到谷物的蒸发,钾,钠和氢在高温下的热电离,以及化学网络中谷物的电子发射,我们探索了各种宇宙射线电离率的影响。所有这些过程显著地影响非理想磁流体动力学双折射率,这将改变坍缩的动力学。在低密度下,双极扩散和霍尔效应占主导地位,直到n_H = 10^12 cm^-3,之后欧姆扩散才占主导地位。我们发现,所需的时间尺度达到化学平衡总是短于典型的动力学(自由降落)之一。这使我们能够建立一个大的,多维的多物种平衡丰度表在一个大的温度,密度和电离率范围。这个表,我们使访问社区,是在第一和第二次星前核心崩溃计算非理想的磁流体动力学的,产生一致的动力学化学描述这个过程。

英文摘要:

We develop a detailed chemical network relevant to the conditions characteristic of prestellar core collapse. We solve the system of time-dependent differential equations to calculate the equilibrium abundances of molecules and dust grains, with a size distribution given by size-bins for these latter. These abundances are used to compute the different non-ideal magneto-hydrodynamics resistivities (ambipolar, Ohmic and Hall), needed to carry out simulations of protostellar collapse. For the first time in this context, we take into account the evaporation of the grains, the thermal ionisation of Potassium, Sodium and Hydrogen at high temperature, and the thermionic emission of grains in the chemical network, and we explore the impact of various cosmic ray ionisation rates. All these processes significantly affect the non-ideal magneto-hydrodynamics resistivities, which will modify the dynamics of the collapse. Ambipolar diffusion and Hall effect dominate at low densities, up to n_H = 10^12 cm^-3, after which Ohmic diffusion takes over. We find that the time-scale needed to reach chemical equilibrium is always shorter than the typical dynamical (free fall) one. This allows us to build a large, multi-dimensional multi-species equilibrium abundance table over a large temperature, density and ionisation rate ranges. This table, which we make accessible to the community, is used during first and second prestellar core collapse calculations to compute the non-ideal magneto-hydrodynamics resistivities, yielding a consistent dynamical-chemical description of this process.
