Kennicutt-Schmidt关系簇与恒星形成云分数

Kennicutt-Schmidt relation variety and star-forming cloud fraction

Kana Morokuma-Matsui, Kazuyuki Muraoka

摘要:

观测得出的Kennicutt-Schmidt(KS)关系的斜率不同的研究,从次线性到超线性。本文利用三个邻近旋涡星系(NGC 3627,NGC 5055和M83)的空间分辨CO(J = 1 - 0),CO(J = 3 - 2),HI,Ha和24 μ m数据,研究了KS关系随积分强度比R31=CO(J = 3 -2)/CO(J=1-0)的变化。我们发现:(1)R31固定的每个子样本的斜率较浅,但所有数据集组合的斜率变陡,(2)高R31子样本的归一化倾向于高,(3)R31与恒星形成效率相关,因此KS关系取决于样本在R31-Sigma_gas空间中的分布:(4)R31-Sigma_gas的分布在星系间和星系内是不同的:具有突出星系结构的星系倾向于具有大的R31和Sigma气体。我们的结果表明,恒星形成的分子气体云的形成效率是不同的星系之间,以及在一个星系内,是导致星系KS关系的变化的关键因素之一。

英文摘要:

The observationally derived Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relation slopes differ from study to study, ranging from sub-linear to super-linear. We investigate the KS-relation variety (slope and normalization) as a function of integrated intensity ratio, R31=CO(J=3-2)/CO(J=1-0) using spatially resolved CO(J=1-0), CO(J=3-2), HI, Ha and 24um data of three nearby spiral galaxies (NGC3627, NGC5055 and M83). We find that (1) the slopes for each subsample with a fixed R31 are shallower but the slope for all datasets combined becomes steeper, (2) normalizations for high R31 subsamples tend to be high, (3) R31 correlates with star-formation efficiency, thus the KS relation depends on the distribution in R31-Sigma_gas space of the samples: no Sigma_gas dependence of R31 results in a linear slope of the KS relation whereas a positive correlation between Sigma_gas and R31 results in a super-linear slope of the KS relation, and (4) R31-Sigma_gas distributions are different from galaxy to galaxy and within a galaxy: galaxies with prominent galactic structure tend to have large R31 and Sigma_gas. Our results suggest that the formation efficiency of star-forming cloud from molecular gas is different among galaxies as well as within a galaxy and is one of the key factors inducing the variety in galactic KS relation.
