摘要:

利用野边山射电天文台的45 m射电望远镜对低金属量矮星系IC 10进行了3 mm波段的谱线巡天观测,以探讨其分子云尺度(~80 pc)的化学组成。除了CO和13 CO谱线外,还首次在该星系中检测到CS、SO、CCH、HCN、HCO+和HNC谱线,而未检测到c-C3 H2、CH 3OH、CN、C18 O和N2 H+谱线。光谱强度模式被发现是类似于那些观察到的分子云在大麦云,其金属丰度低至IC 10。由于氮元素丰度较低,与银河系分子云相比,含氮物种是缺乏的。与银河系半透明云相比,CCH是丰富的,而CH 3OH可能是缺乏的。CCH和CH 3OH的这些特征趋势也出现在LMC中,并且似乎起源于由于较低的金属度条件而在分子云外围更延伸的光解区域。

英文摘要:

We have conducted a spectral line survey observation in the 3 mm band toward the low-metallicity dwarf galaxy IC10 with the 45 m radio telescope of Nobeyama Radio Observatory to explore its chemical composition at a molecular-cloud scale (~80 pc). The CS, SO, CCH, HCN, HCO+, and HNC lines are detected for the first time in this galaxy in addition to the CO and 13CO lines, while c-C3H2, CH3OH, CN, C18O, and N2H+ lines are not detected. The spectral intensity pattern is found to be similar to those observed toward molecular clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud, whose metallicity is as low as IC10. Nitrogen-bearing species are deficient in comparison with the Galactic molecular clouds due to a lower elemental abundance of nitrogen. CCH is abundant in comparison with Galactic translucent clouds, whereas CH3OH may be deficient. These characteristic trends for CCH and CH3OH are also seen in the LMC, and seem to originate from photodissociation regions more extended in peripheries of molecular clouds due to the lower metallicity condition.
