摘要:

我们利用最近的恒星形成区域,天蝎座-半人马座OB 2,对恒星,气体和核合成灰烬的观测约束,并将它们与3D流体动力学模拟相结合,以解决天蝎座-半人马座超级气泡的物理和历史问题。我们使用已发表的冷气体观测,通过普朗克调查数据处理,赫歇尔和APEX,连续谱和分子线观测。我们分析了银河系全天巡天(GASS),以研究原子氢的壳结构,并使用HIPPARCOS和盖亚数据结合星际吸收对恒星,以获得新的约束的距离Hi功能。通过ROSAT全天空调查以软X射线追踪热气体。利用新的INTEGRAL光谱仪通过26 Al放射性追踪了来自大质量恒星的核合成喷出物。我们还进行了三维流体动力学模拟的Sco-Cen超气泡。为了研究大质量恒星反馈对扩展云的影响,我们模拟了湍流云与超级气泡中高温加压气体的相互作用。热气充满了云的稀薄区域,并压缩了密度较高的部分。在这些密集的团块中形成的恒星将具有独特的空间和运动学分布。观测和模拟的综合结果与致密气体最初分布在OB协会所占据的方向上拉长的带中的情况一致。由大质量恒星提供动力的超级气泡会不断地从拉长的母云中爆发出来,包围并挤压气体层的密度更大的部分,从而引发更多的恒星形成。预期的恒星空间和运动学分布与Sco-Cen的观测结果一致。这种情况可能适用于银河系中许多类似的区域,也适用于活动星系核相关的超级气泡。

英文摘要:

We exploited observational constraints on stars, gas and nucleosynthesis ashes for the closest region of recent massive-star formation, Scorpius-Centaurus OB2, and combined them with 3D hydrodynamical simulations, in order to address physics and history for the case of the Scorpius-Centaurus superbubble. We used published cold gas observations through PLANCK survey data processing, HERSCHEL and APEX, continuum and molecular line observations. We analysed the Galactic All Sky Survey (GASS) to investigate shell structures in atomic hydrogen, and used HIPPARCOS and Gaia data in combination with interstellar absorption against stars to obtain new constraints for the distance to the Hi features. Hot gas is traced in soft X-rays via the ROSAT all sky survey. Nucleosynthesis ejecta from massive stars were traced with new INTEGRAL spectrometer observations via 26Al radioactivity. We also performed 3D hydrodynamical simulations for the Sco-Cen superbubble. To investigate the impact of massive star feedback on extended clouds, we simulate the interaction of a turbulent cloud with the hot, pressurised gas in a superbubble. The hot gas fills the tenuous regions of the cloud and compresses the denser parts. Stars formed in these dense clumps would have distinct spatial and kinematic distributions. The combined results from observations and simulations are consistent with a scenario where dense gas was initially distributed in a band elongated in the direction now occupied by the OB association. Superbubbles powered by massive stars would then repeatedly break out of the elongated parent cloud, surround and squash the denser parts of the gas sheet and thus induce more star formation. The expected spatial and kinematic distribution of stars is consistent with observations of Sco-Cen. The scenario might apply to many similar regions in the Galaxy and also to AGN-related superbubbles.
