摘要:

我们应用光解区(PDR)分子线发射模型,具有不同程度的增强机械加热速率,从文献中的恒星形成星系的模拟的气体成分。这些模拟的快照被用来产生线的CO分子和其13 CO同位素的旋转跃迁的发射图J = 4-3。我们考虑两个星系模型:一个太阳金属丰度的小圆盘星系和一个金属丰度为0.2 \zsun的较轻矮星系。CO(1 - 0)的激发温度升高与机械反馈正相关,即朝向两个模型星系的中心区域增强。这些模型星系的发射图被用来计算CO和13 CO跃迁的线比。这些线比率被用作诊断,我们试图将它们匹配到机械加热的单组分(即均匀密度,远紫外通量,视觉消光和速度梯度)平衡PDR模型。我们发现,在加热预算中忽略机械反馈的PDR高估了气体密度的100倍和远紫外线通量的~10 - 1000倍。相比之下,考虑机械反馈的PDR能够很好地拟合基准盘星系中心< 2 kpc的所有线比。我们从该区域的线比拟合中恢复的每个H原子的平均机械加热速率在$10^{-27}$- $10^{-26}$ ~erg s $^{-1}$之间变化。

英文摘要:

We apply photo-dissociation region (PDR) molecular line emission models, that have varying degrees of enhanced mechanical heating rates, to the gaseous component of simulations of star-forming galaxies taken from the literature. Snapshots of these simulations are used to produce line emission maps for the rotational transitions of the CO molecule and its 13CO isotope up to J = 4-3. We consider two galaxy models: a small disk galaxy of solar metallicity and a lighter dwarf galaxy with 0.2 \zsun metallicity. Elevated excitation temperatures for CO(1 - 0) correlate positively with mechanical feedback, that is enhanced towards the central region of both model galaxies. The emission maps of these model galaxies are used to compute line ratios of CO and 13CO transitions. These line ratios are used as diagnostics where we attempt to match them These line ratios are used as diagnostics where we attempt to match them to mechanically heated single component (i.e. uniform density, Far-UV flux, visual extinction and velocity gradient) equilibrium PDR models. We find that PDRs ignoring mechanical feedback in the heating budget over-estimate the gas density by a factor of 100 and the far-UV flux by factors of ~10 - 1000. In contrast, PDRs that take mechanical feedback into account are able to fit all the line ratios for the central < 2 kpc of the fiducial disk galaxy quite well. The mean mechanical heating rate per H atom that we recover from the line ratio fits of this region varies between $10^{-27}$ -- $10^{-26}$~erg s$^{-1}$.
