由于高超声速turbulence星际介质中快速尘埃形成的星系尘埃演化

Galactic dust evolution with rapid dust formation in the interstellar medium due to hypersonic turbulence

Lars Mattsson

摘要:

湍流可以通过分子的吸积来显著加速尘埃颗粒的生长。对于与气体动态耦合的尘埃,增长率与马赫数的平方成比例,这意味着增长时间尺度可以很容易地减少一个数量级以上。因此,限制时间尺度是分子云形成的速率,这意味着ISM中的尘埃产生可以迅速达到解释在高红移下观测到的尘埃质量所需的水平。因此,湍流可能是解决高红移星系尘埃演化模型中的补充问题的方法,并解释了在$z = 7 - 8$看到的尘埃质量。一个简单的分析银河尘埃演化模型,其中晶粒生长很好地补偿了预期的更高速率的尘埃破坏超新星冲击。与以前的同类模型相比,该模型更简单,依赖的假设更少,似乎更适合从观测中获得的数据。

英文摘要:

Turbulence can significantly accelerate the growth of dust grains by accretion of molecules. For dust dynamically coupled to the gas, the growth rate scales with the square of the Mach number, which means that the growth timescale can easily be reduced by more than an order of magnitude. The limiting timescale is therefore rather the rate of molecular cloud formation, which means that dust production in the ISM can rapidly reach the levels needed to explain the dust masses observed at high redshifts. Thus, turbulence may be the solution to the replenishment problem in models of dust evolution in high-redshift galaxies and explain the dust masses seen at $z = 7 - 8$. A simple analytic galactic dust-evolution model is presented, where grain growth nicely compensates for the expected higher rate of dust destruction by supernova shocks. This model is simpler, relies on fewer assumptions and seems to yields a better fit to data derived from observations, compared to previous models of the same type.
