Astro2020:尘埃是如何从星系中逃逸出来的?

Astro2020: How does dust escape from galaxies?

摘要:

每当气体被吹出星系时,它很可能包含一些宇宙尘埃。这些尘埃是环星系和星系际介质金属收支的重要组成部分,并追踪了星系的外流和剥离历史。尘埃本身也很有趣,因为尘埃在许多天体物理过程中起着重要作用。我们对环星系尘埃的了解才刚刚开始,特别是我们不知道它是如何(以及何时)逃离其宿主星系的。在这里,我们描述了测量许多单个星系周围的尘埃质量和性质的前景,这将成为理解尘埃如何到达那里的基础。

英文摘要:

Whenever gas is blown out of a galaxy, chances are that it contains some cosmic dust. This dust is an important part of the metals budget for the circumgalactic and intergalactic media, and traces the outflow and stripping history of the galaxy. The dust is also interesting in its own right, as dust plays an essential role in many astrophysical processes. We have only begun to learn about circumgalactic dust, and in particular we do not know how (and when) it escapes its host galaxy. Here we describe the prospects for measuring the dust mass and properties around many individual galaxies, which will form the basis for understanding how the dust got there.
