摘要:

我们提出了计算的分子,原子和离子线发射的模拟巨分子云(GMC)的碰撞。我们对Wu等人(2017)在本系列早期论文中提出的碰撞和非碰撞GMC的磁流体动力学模拟的快照进行了后处理。利用光离解区化学和辐射转移计算了$^{12}$ CO $J=1-0$,[CI] $^3{\rm P}_1\rightarrow{^3{\rm P}}_0$在$609\,μ$ m,[CII] $158\,μ$ m和[OI] $^3{\rm P}_1\rightarrow{^3{\rm P}}_0$在$63\,μ$ m跃迁的能级布居和发射性质.从积分强度发射图和位置-速度图中,我们发现精细结构谱线,特别是[CII] $158\,μ$ m,可以作为云-云碰撞活动的诊断示踪剂。这些结果甚至在分子线中的碰撞特征已经减少的更进化的系统中也成立。

英文摘要:

We present calculations of molecular, atomic and ionic line emission from simulations of giant molecular cloud (GMC) collisions. We post-process snapshots of the magneto-hydrodynamical simulations presented in an earlier paper in this series by Wu et al. (2017) of colliding and non-colliding GMCs. Using photodissociation region (PDR) chemistry and radiative transfer we calculate the level populations and emission properties of $^{12}$CO $J=1-0$, [CI] $^3{\rm P}_1\rightarrow{^3{\rm P}}_0$ at $609\,μ$m, [CII] $158\,μ$m and [OI] $^3{\rm P}_1\rightarrow{^3{\rm P}}_0$ transition at $63\,μ$m. From integrated intensity emission maps and position-velocity diagrams, we find that fine-structure lines, particularly the [CII] $158\,μ$m, can be used as a diagnostic tracer for cloud-cloud collision activity. These results hold even in more evolved systems in which the collision signature in molecular lines has been diminished.
