摘要:

我们用12 mm的莫普拉望远镜观测了W28超新星遗迹(SNR)东北方向(NE)的致密(>10^3 cm^-3)分子气体。这个云在空间上与TeV伽马射线源HESS J1801-233匹配良好,并且已知是SNR-分子云相互作用区域。冲击破坏是明显的,从宽NH3(1,1)谱线宽度的区域对W28 SNR,而强烈的空间扩展NH3(3,3),NH3(4,4)和NH3(6,6)的反演发射到云的检测加强的情况下,存在高温的云。速度色散测量和NH3(n,n)/(1,1)比值图(n=2,3,4和6)表明,扰动源来自云最靠近W28 SNR的一侧,表明它是云扰动的源。对云的一部分,观察到的比例ortho对para-NH3超过2,这表明气相NH3富集由于NH3从尘埃颗粒地幔释放。测得的NH3相对于H2的丰度为~(1.2+/-0.5)*10^-9,这个值并不高,这可能与被升华的颗粒表面分子富集的热的、致密的分子云的丰度相同。结果表明,NH3升华和破坏的分子云,这可能是相互作用的W28 SNR冲击。

英文摘要:

We present 12 mm Mopra observations of the dense (>10^3 cm^-3 ) molecular gas towards the north-east (NE) of the W28 supernova remnant (SNR). This cloud is spatially well-matched to the TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1801-233 and is known to be a SNR-molecular cloud interaction region. Shock-disruption is evident from broad NH3 (1,1) spectral line-widths in regions towards the W28 SNR, while strong detections of spatially-extended NH3(3,3), NH3(4,4) and NH3(6,6) inversion emission towards the cloud strengthen the case for the existence of high temperatures within the cloud. Velocity dispersion measurements and NH3(n,n)/(1,1) ratio maps, where n=2, 3, 4 and 6, indicate that the source of disruption is from the side of the cloud nearest to the W28 SNR, suggesting that it is the source of cloud-disruption. Towards part of the cloud, the ratio of ortho to para-NH3 is observed to exceed 2, suggesting gas-phase NH3 enrichment due to NH3 liberation from dust grain mantles. The measured NH3 abundance with respect to H2 is ~(1.2+/-0.5)*10^-9, which is not high, as might be expected for a hot, dense molecular cloud enriched by sublimated grain-surface molecules. The results are suggestive of NH3 sublimation and destruction in this molecular cloud, which is likely to be interacting with the W28 SNR shock.
