星周包层中CO的光解离

The photodissociation of CO in circumstellar envelopes

M. A. T. Groenewegen

摘要:

一氧化碳是仅次于H $_2$的最丰富的分子,对晚型恒星周围的星周包层化学非常重要。在模拟低J过渡线和从这些线导出质量损失率时,包络线的大小很重要。现在ALMA即将达到全功率,可以直接测量附近渐近巨星分支(AGB)恒星的CO发射区的范围。与此同时,在过去的几年里,星际辐射场(ISRF)的强度对发射线的解释有着重要的影响。在本文中,经典的Mamon等人(1988年; ApJ 328,797)的文件的更新和扩展;这些作者提供了CO丰度的配置文件,由两个参数描述,作为质量损失率和膨胀速度的函数。根据最近的工作,改进的数值方法和更新的H $_2$和CO屏蔽功能和更大的网格计算,涵盖更多的参数空间,包括强度的ISRF。在两种情况下,说明了改变光解半径的低J CO线强度的影响。

英文摘要:

Carbon monoxide is the most abundant molecule after H$_2$ and is important for chemistry in circumstellar envelopes around late-type stars. The size of the envelope is important when modelling low-J transition lines and deriving mass-loss rates from such lines. Now that ALMA is coming to full power the extent of the CO emitting region can be measured directly for nearby asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. In parallel, it has become obvious in the past few years that the strength of the interstellar radiation field (ISRF) can have a significant impact on the interpretation of the emission lines. In this paper an update and extension of the classical Mamon et al. (1988; ApJ 328, 797) paper is presented; these authors provided the CO abundance profile, described by two parameters, as a function of mass-loss rate and expansion velocity. Following recent work an improved numerical method and updated H$_2$ and CO shielding functions are used and a larger grid is calculated that covers more parameter space, including the strength of the ISRF. The effect of changing the photodissociation radius on the low-J CO line intensities is illustrated in two cases.
