模拟盘星系中分子氢的完全普查

The complete census of molecular hydrogen in a simulated disc galaxy

Sarah Nickerson, Romain Teyssier, Joakim Rosdahl

摘要:

我们提出了一个多尺度分析的分子氢在一个银河系般的模拟星系。我们的普查涵盖了整个圆盘的气体含量,径向轮廓和肯尼库特-施密特关系,对其分子云的研究,最后到气相的逐细胞分析。在有意见的地方,我们发现意见一致。H2气体的一个重要部分是在低密度区域与原子氢混合,因此很难观察到。我们将分子加法应用到ramses-rt中,ramses-rt是一个自适应网格加密的网格程序,它将流体力学与基于矩的辐射转移耦合起来。同一星系的三个分辨率详细说明了它对H2形成的影响,网格单元大小为97,24和6.1 pc。只有最高分辨率才能产生足够高的气体密度,以容纳大量的H2馏分,因此分辨率是模拟H2的关键。我们对银河系的分析虽然各不相同,但把它们组合在一起,就能提供一幅星际介质中H2的完整画像。原子尺度上的H2化学足以在整个星系中产生其动力学。

英文摘要:

We present a multi-scale analysis of molecular hydrogen in a Milky Way-like simulated galaxy. Our census covers the gas content of the entire disc, to radial profiles and the Kennicutt-Schmidt relation, to a study of its molecular clouds, and finally down to a cell-by-cell analysis of the gas phases. Where observations are available we find agreement. A significant fraction of the H2 gas is in low-density regions mixed with atomic hydrogen and would therefore be difficult to observe. We use the molecular addition to ramses-rt, an adaptive mesh refinement grid code with the hydrodynamics coupled to moment-based radiative transfer. Three resolutions of the same galaxy detail the effects it has on H2 formation, with grid cells sized 97, 24, and 6.1 pc. Only the highest resolution yields gas densities high enough to host significant H2 fractions, and resolution is therefore key to simulating H2. Apart our pieces of galactic analysis are disparate, but assembled they provide a cohesive portrait of H2 in the interstellar medium. H2 chemistry on the atomic scale is sufficient to generate its dynamics throughout an entire galaxy.
