分子云细丝中的纤维是真实的物体吗?

Are fibres in molecular cloud filaments real objects?

Manuel Zamora-Avilés, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes, Lee W. Hartmann

摘要:

我们分析了在一个数值模拟中产生的致密的附属结构的形态和运动学的恒星形成云的$1.4 \times 10^4 \, \Msun$在自己的自我重力下在磁化介质中的演变。这项研究的动机是最近的观察速度相干子结构(“纤维”)在恒星形成的细丝。我们在我们的模拟灯丝中发现了这种“纤维”。我们发现,一个投影中的纤维不一定是另一个投影中的纤维,因此,在将它们视为真实对象时应注意。我们发现,在2个投影中,只有细丝的致密部分($\sim$占致密体积的30%,其中含有质量的$\sim$的70%)属于纤维。此外,它们通常是由沿着视线叠加的分离的密度增强形成的。纤维的观测可以深入了解由重力驱动的湍流子结构的水平,但在解释视线叠加问题的结果时应小心。我们还研究了三维骨架(脊柱)的形态学和运动学,发现子丝主要沿着磁场线(优先垂直于骨架)吸积结构化材料。由于引力坍缩,磁场同时被速度场拖曳。

英文摘要:

We analyse the morphology and kinematics of dense filamentary structures produced in a numerical simulation of a star--forming cloud of $1.4 \times 10^4 \, \Msun$ evolving under their own self--gravity in a magnetized medium. This study is motivated by recent observations of velocity--coherent substructures ("fibres") in star-forming filaments. We find such "fibres" ubiquitously in our simulated filament. We found that a fibre in one projection is not necessarily a fibre in another projection, and thus, caution should be taken into account when considering them as real objects. We found that only the densest parts of the filament ($\sim$30\% of the densest volume, which contains $\sim$70\% of the mass) belong to fibres in 2 projections. Moreover, it is quite common that they are formed by separated density enhancements superposed along the line of sight. Observations of fibres can yield insight into the level of turbulent substructure driven by gravity, but care should be taken in interpreting the results given the problem of line of sight superposition. We also studied the morphology and kinematics of the 3D skeleton (spine), finding that subfilaments accrete structured material mainly along the magnetic field lines, which are preferentially perpendicular to the skeleton. The magnetic field is at the same time dragged by the velocity field due to the gravitational collapse.
