Spitzer/IRS图中的多环芳烃发射II:谱带轮廓和辐射场强之间的直接联系

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon emission in Spitzer/IRS maps II: A direct link between band profiles and the radiation field strength

D. J. Stock, E. Peeters

摘要:

我们分解观察到的7.7 $μ$ m多环芳烃(PAH)发射复合物在一个大的样品中超过7000中红外光谱的星际介质(ISM)使用光谱立方体观察斯皮策/IRS-SL仪器。为了拟合7.7 $μ$ m PAH发射复合物,我们调用了四个高斯分量,发现它们在所有光谱中的峰位置和宽度方面非常稳定,随后定义了具有固定参数的分解,其给出了对所有光谱的可接受的拟合。我们看到,我们的波段通量之间的相互关系具有很强的环境依赖性-在HII区域,所有四个分量都是相互关联的,而在反射星云(RNe)中,内部和外部的波段对的关联方式与以前在NGC~2023中看到的相同。我们表明,这种效果的出现,因为RNe地图是由强烈照射的PDR发射为主,而更大的HII区域的地图是由更远离激发恒星的区域的发射为主,导致微妙的不同的光谱行为。进一步的研究表明,这两个组成部分(集中在7.6和7.8 $μ$ m)的比例是线性相关的UV场强度(log G $_0$)。我们发现,这种关系并不适用于由拱星材料,这是已知的具有可变的7.7 $μ$ m光谱轮廓的来源。

英文摘要:

We decompose the observed 7.7 $μ$m polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission complexes in a large sample of over 7000 mid-infrared spectra of the interstellar medium (ISM) using spectral cubes observed with the Spitzer/IRS-SL instrument. In order to fit the 7.7 $μ$m PAH emission complex we invoke four Gaussian components which are found to be very stable in terms of their peak positions and widths across all of our spectra, and subsequently define a decomposition with fixed parameters which gives an acceptable fit for all the spectra. We see a strong environmental dependence on the inter-relationships between our band fluxes - in the HII regions all four components are inter-correlated, while in the reflection nebulae (RNe) the inner and outer pairs of bands correlate in the same manner as previously seen for NGC~2023. We show that this effect arises because the RNe maps are dominated by strongly irradiated PDR emission, while the much larger HII region maps are dominated by emission from regions much more distant from the exciting stars, leading to subtly different spectral behavior. Further investigation of this dichotomy reveals that the ratio of two of these components (centered at 7.6 and 7.8 $μ$m) is linearly related to the UV field intensity (log G$_0$). We find that this relationship does not hold for sources consisting of circumstellar material, which are known to have variable 7.7 $μ$m spectral profiles.
