星系化学演化模型:分子气体形成的作用

Galaxy chemical evolution models: The role of molecular gas formation

Mercedes Mollá, Ángeles I. Díaz, Yago Ascasibar, Brad K. Gibson

摘要:

在我们的多相化学演化模型网格(Mollá & Díaz,2005)中,星盘中的恒星形成分为两个步骤:首先,分子气体形成,然后恒星通过云与云的碰撞或大质量恒星与周围分子云的相互作用而产生。分子云和恒星的形成都是通过使用我们称为效率的自由参数来处理的。在这项工作中,我们修改了形成的分子云的基础上存在的几个新的处方在文献中,我们比较了银河系的化学演化模型的太阳能区域的演变,银河系盘的径向结构,扩散和分子成分之间的比例,HI/H $_2$的结果。我们的研究结果表明,我们已经测试的六个处方再现相当一致的大部分观察到的趋势,不同的主要是他们的预测(约束不良)的银河系外围和其径向结构的演变时间。其中,Ascasibar等人(2017)提出的模型,其中扩散气体转化为分子云取决于当地恒星和气体密度以及气体金属丰度,似乎提供了与观测数据的最佳整体匹配。

英文摘要:

In our grid of multiphase chemical evolution models (Mollá & Díaz, 2005), star formation in the disk occurs in two steps: first, molecular gas forms, and then stars are created by cloud-cloud collisions or interactions of massive stars with the surrounding molecular clouds. The formation of both molecular clouds and stars are treated through the use of free parameters we refer to as efficiencies. In this work we modify the formation of molecular clouds based on several new prescriptions existing in the literature, and we compare the results obtained for a chemical evolution model of the Milky Way Galaxy regarding the evolution of the Solar region, the radial structure of the Galactic disk, and the ratio between the diffuse and molecular components, HI/H$_2$. Our results show that the six prescriptions we have tested reproduce fairly consistent most of the observed trends, differing mostly in their predictions for the (poorly-constrained) outskirts of the Milky Way and the evolution in time of its radial structure. Among them, the model proposed by Ascasibar et al. (2017), where the conversion of diffuse gas into molecular clouds depends on the local stellar and gas densities as well as on the gas metallicity, seems to provide the best overall match to the observed data.
