摘要:

高质量恒星被认为是由致密的星前核心形成的。它们的精确形成条件被广泛讨论,包括它们的维里条件,该条件导致在湍流或磁场的强支撑下的超维里核的缓慢坍缩,或亚维里源的快速坍缩。为了解开它们的形成过程,经常采用氘分数的测量来近似估计这些核心的年龄,并获得对它们的动力学演化的约束。在这里,我们提出了三维磁流体动力学模拟,包括第一次准确的非平衡化学网络与21个气相物种加上尘埃颗粒和213个反应。有了这个网络,我们完全耗尽星前核心的氘代过程建模非常详细,并确定其响应的初始条件的变化。我们探讨的依赖性的初始气柱密度,湍流马赫数,的质量-磁通量比和磁场的分布,以及初始的ortho-to-para比的H2。我们发现很好的协议与最近的观察静态源中的氘馏分。我们的研究结果表明,氘化是相当有效的,即使当假设一个保守的邻-对位比为3和高度次维里初始条件,导致大氘馏分已经在大约一个自由落体时间。我们讨论了我们的研究结果的影响,并展望了相关的未来调查。

英文摘要:

High-mass stars are expected to form from dense prestellar cores. Their precise formation conditions are widely discussed, including their virial condition, which results in slow collapse for super-virial cores with strong support by turbulence or magnetic fields, or fast collapse for sub-virial sources. To disentangle their formation processes, measurements of the deuterium fractions are frequently employed to approximately estimate the ages of these cores and to obtain constraints on their dynamical evolution. We here present 3D magneto-hydrodynamical simulations including for the first time an accurate non-equilibrium chemical network with 21 gas-phase species plus dust grains and 213 reactions. With this network we model the deuteration process in fully depleted prestellar cores in great detail and determine its response to variations in the initial conditions. We explore the dependence on the initial gas column density, the turbulent Mach number, the mass-to-magnetic flux ratio and the distribution of the magnetic field, as well as the initial ortho-to-para ratio of H2. We find excellent agreement with recent observations of deuterium fractions in quiescent sources. Our results show that deuteration is rather efficient, even when assuming a conservative ortho-to-para ratio of 3 and highly sub-virial initial conditions, leading to large deuterium fractions already within roughly a free-fall time. We discuss the implications of our results and give an outlook to relevant future investigations.
