用HI谱线恢复星际气体性质：合成谱与21- SPONGE的比较
Recovering interstellar gas properties with HI spectral lines: A comparison between synthetic spectra and 21-SPONGE
摘要：
我们分析了合成中性氢（HI）的吸收和发射谱线从高分辨率，三维流体动力学模拟，以量化如何以及观测方法恢复星际气体的物理性质。本文提出了一种利用自治高斯分解（AGD）算法对HI谱线进行均匀分解并估计伴生气体性质的新方法。我们发现，高谱线恢复物理结构的模拟在银河系高纬度具有良好的完整性，这种完整性下降，随着纬度降低，由于强烈的速度混合的谱线。对于大多数气体结构，由我们的分解和辐射转移方法推断的温度和柱密度与模拟值在< 2的因子内一致。接下来，我们将合成光谱与卡尔G.使用AGD的Jansky甚大阵列。我们发现在21-SPONGE比在合成光谱，这反映了不足的模拟气体规模的高度和本地箱模拟的局限性，每视线更多的组件。此外，我们发现了一个显着的人口低光学深度，广泛的吸收成分的合成数据中没有看到在21-海绵。该群体在集成或每个通道诊断中并不明显，并且反映了研究速度分辨分量的益处。差异分量对应于最高自旋温度（1000 < Ts < 4000 K），尽管观测灵敏度足够高，但在21-SPONGE中看不到。我们表明，我们的分析方法是一个强大的工具，诊断中性ISM条件，未来的工作是需要改善观测统计和模拟物理的实施。
英文摘要：
We analyze synthetic neutral hydrogen (HI) absorption and emission spectral lines from a high- resolution, three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulation to quantify how well observational methods recover the physical properties of interstellar gas. We present a new method for uniformly decomposing HI spectral lines and estimating the properties of associated gas using the Autonomous Gaussian Decomposition (AGD) algorithm. We find that Hi spectral lines recover physical structures in the simulation with excellent completeness at high Galactic latitude, and this completeness declines with decreasing latitude due to strong velocity-blending of spectral lines. The temperature and column density inferred from our decomposition and radiative transfer method agree with the simulated values within a factor of < 2 for the majority of gas structures. We next compare synthetic spectra with observations from the 21-SPONGE survey at the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array using AGD. We find more components per line of sight in 21-SPONGE than in synthetic spectra, which reflects insufficient simulated gas scale heights and the limitations of local box simulations. In addition, we find a significant population of low-optical depth, broad absorption components in the synthetic data which are not seen in 21-SPONGE. This population is not obvious in integrated or per-channel diagnostics, and reflects the benefit of studying velocity-resolved components. The discrepant components correspond to the highest spin temperatures (1000 < Ts < 4000 K), which are not seen in 21-SPONGE despite sufficient observational sensitivity. We demonstrate that our analysis method is a powerful tool for diagnosing neutral ISM conditions, and future work is needed to improve observational statistics and implementation of simulated physics.
