摘要:

我们报告的检测OH+和H2O+的z=0.89吸收朝向透镜类星体PKS 1830 -211。OH+和H2O+的丰度比被用来量化分子氢分数(fH 2)和原子氢的宇宙射线电离率(zH)沿着两条视线,位于约2 kpc和约4 kpc的吸收体的中心的两侧。分子分数向外减少,从~0.04到~0.02,与银河系中类似的银河系中心半径测量值相当。对于zH,我们发现其值分别为~ 2x 10 ^-14 s^-1和~ 3x 10 ^-15 s^-1,这比银河系中类似的银河系中心半径略高,这可能是由于在z=0.89的吸收体中有更高的平均恒星形成活动。对PKS 1830 -211的OH+、H2O+和其他离子的ALMA观测揭示了吸收气体的多相组成。以沿西南和东北视线的柱密度比作为分子分数的代理,我们分类的物种ArH+,OH+,H2 Cl+,H2O+,CH和HF作为示踪气体越来越多的分子。顺便说一句,我们的数据使我们能够提高H2O+静止频率的准确性,从而细化光谱参数。

英文摘要:

We report the detection of OH+ and H2O+ in the z=0.89 absorber toward the lensed quasar PKS1830-211. The abundance ratio of OH+ and H2O+ is used to quantify the molecular hydrogen fraction (fH2) and the cosmic-ray ionization rate of atomic hydrogen (zH) along two lines of sight, located at ~2 kpc and ~4 kpc to either side of the absorber's center. The molecular fraction decreases outwards, from ~0.04 to ~0.02, comparable to values measured in the Milky Way at similar galactocentric radii. For zH, we find values of ~2x10^-14 s^-1 and ~3x10^-15 s^-1, respectively, which are slightly higher than in the Milky Way at comparable galactocentric radii, possibly due to a higher average star formation activity in the z=0.89 absorber. The ALMA observations of OH+, H2O+, and other hydrides toward PKS1830-211 reveal the multi-phase composition of the absorbing gas. Taking the column density ratios along the southwest and northeast lines of sight as a proxy of molecular fraction, we classify the species ArH+, OH+, H2Cl+, H2O+, CH, and HF as tracing gases increasingly more molecular. Incidentally, our data allow us to improve the accuracy of H2O+ rest frequencies and thus refine the spectroscopic parameters.
