用蒙特卡罗辐射转移II进行大质量恒星形成的辐射流体动力学模拟。25太阳质量恒星的形成

Radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of massive star formation using Monte Carlo radiative transfer II. The formation of a 25 solar-mass star

Tim J Harries, Tom A Douglas, Ahmad Ali

摘要:

本文采用基于蒙特卡罗的辐射流体力学(RHD)方法对大质量恒星的形成过程进行了数值模拟。恒星通过随机的盘吸积形成,并产生快速的辐射驱动的双极腔。我们发现,演化的下落率(被认为是质量通量跨越1500 AU的球形边界),吸积率到原恒星上,与观测约束大致一致。在35kyr之后,恒星的质量为25个太阳质量,被一个质量为7个太阳质量,半径为1500 au的圆盘包围,我们发现圆盘的速度场接近开普勒。这些结果再一次与最近对正在形成的大质量恒星周围的圆盘进行的高分辨率研究相一致。RHD模型的合成成像显示出与近红外和远红外观测的良好一致性,但可能与观测结果相冲突,这些观测结果表明MYSO在天空中通常是24.5微米处圆形对称的。分子线模拟的CH3CN过渡比较以及与观测的表面亮度和线宽,并表明它应该是可能的,可靠地提取原恒星质量从这样的观测。

英文摘要:

We present a numerical simulation of the formation of a massive star using Monte- Carlo-based radiation hydrodynamics (RHD). The star forms via stochastic disc accretion and produces fast, radiation-driven bipolar cavities. We find that the evolution of the infall rate (considered to be the mass flux across a 1500 au spherical boundary), and the accretion rate onto the protostar, are broadly consistent with observational constraints. After 35kyr the star has a mass of 25 solar masses and is surrounded by a disc of mass 7 solar masses and 1500 au radius, and we find that the velocity field of the disc is close to Keplerian. Once again these results are consistent with those from recent high-resolution studies of discs around forming massive stars. Synthetic imaging of the RHD model shows good agreement with observations in the near- and far-IR, but may be in conflict with observations that suggests that MYSOs are typically circularly symmetric on the sky at 24.5 microns. Molecular line simulations of a CH3CN transition compare well with observations in terms of surface brightness and line width, and indicate that it should be possible to reliably extract the protostellar mass from such observations.
