原恒星喷流的横向速度变化:旋转还是速度不对称?

Transverse velocity shifts in protostellar jets: rotation or velocity asymmetries?

Fabio De Colle, Adriano H. Cerqueira, Angels Riera

摘要:

对几个原恒星喷流的观测表明,在横向于喷流传播方向的径向速度上存在系统性差异,这被解释为喷流旋转的证据。在本文中,我们讨论了这些速度变化的起源,并表明,它们可以起源于旋转的流动,或由侧到侧的不对称的冲击速度,这可能是由于不对称的射流喷射速度/密度或在周围介质。对于典型的极向喷流速度(~ 100-200 km/s),>~ 10%的不对称性可以产生与观察到的速度变化相当的速度变化。我们还提出了旋转,旋进和非对称射流的三维数值模拟,并表明,即使对于一个给定的射流有一个明确的简并这些效果之间,具有不同的倾角的射流的统计分析可以帮助区分横向速度变化的替代起源。我们的分析表明,侧到侧的速度不对称性可以代表横向速度变化的重要贡献,是最重要的贡献大喷流倾角(相对于天空的平面),并且不能被忽视时,解释的意见。

英文摘要:

Observations of several protostellar jets show systematic differences in radial velocity transverse to the jet propagation direction, which have been interpreted as evidence of rotation in the jets. In this paper we discuss the origin of these velocity shifts, and show that they could be originated by rotation in the flow, or by side to side asymmetries in the shock velocity, which could be due to asymmetries in the jet ejection velocity/density or in the ambient medium. For typical poloidal jet velocities (~ 100-200 km/s), an asymmetry >~ 10% can produce velocity shifts comparable to those observed. We also present three dimensional numerical simulations of rotating, precessing and asymmetric jets, and show that, even though for a given jet there is a clear degeneracy between these effects, a statistical analysis of jets with different inclination angles can help to distinguish between the alternative origins of transverse velocity shifts. Our analysis indicate that side to side velocities asymmetries could represent an important contribution to transverse velocity shifts, being the most important contributor for large jet inclination angles (with respect the the plane of the sky), and can not be neglected when interpreting the observations.
