AGB流出物中粉尘-气体化学的化学模拟- II。粉尘粒度分布的影响

Chemical modelling of dust-gas chemistry within AGB outflows -- II. Effect of the dust-grain size distribution

M. Van de Sande, C. Walsh, T. Danilovich

摘要:

AGB星和超新星是构成星际介质的主要物质。AGB星形成的尘埃颗粒被认为很大。然而,由于尘埃在其流出物中的成核和生长仍然不清楚,尘埃粒度分布(GSD)是未知的。这是一个重要的不确定性,我们的知识的化学和物理历史的星际尘埃,作为AGB尘埃形式的$\sim$ 70%的起点,其演变。我们扩展了我们的化学动力学模型,其中包括一个全面的粉尘-气体化学。现在允许GSD偏离通常假设的标准Mathis et al.(1977)分布。我们发现,特定的GSD可以显着影响内流出的粉尘-气体化学。我们的研究结果表明,耗尽的气相物种的水平取决于平均晶粒表面积的GSD。当使用一系列跃迁时,可以从分子发射线的观测中检索气相丰度分布及其可能的耗尽。由于GSD处方内的简并性,无法检索特定参数,仅检索平均晶粒表面积(下限)。尽管如此,这可以区分主要由大颗粒或小颗粒组成的灰尘。我们表明,当结合其他可观测的,如光谱能量分布和偏振光,耗尽水平从分子气相丰度分布可以限制难以捉摸的GSD的尘埃AGB流出到ISM。

英文摘要:

AGB stars are, together with supernovae, the main contributors of stellar dust to the interstellar medium (ISM). Dust grains formed by AGB stars are thought to be large. However, as dust nucleation and growth within their outflows are still not understood, the dust-grain size distribution (GSD) is unknown. This is an important uncertainty regarding our knowledge of the chemical and physical history of interstellar dust, as AGB dust forms $\sim$ 70% of the starting point of its evolution. We expand on our chemical kinetics model, which uniquely includes a comprehensive dust-gas chemistry. The GSD is now allowed to deviate from the commonly assumed canonical Mathis et al. (1977) distribution. We find that the specific GSD can significantly influence the dust-gas chemistry within the outflow. Our results show that the level of depletion of gas-phase species depends on the average grain surface area of the GSD. Gas-phase abundance profiles and their possible depletions can be retrieved from observations of molecular emission lines when using a range of transitions. Due to degeneracies within the prescription of GSD, specific parameters cannot be retrieved, only (a lower limit to) the average grain surface area. Nonetheless, this can discriminate between dust composed of predominantly large or small grains. We show that when combined with other observables such as the spectral energy distribution and polarised light, depletion levels from molecular gas-phase abundance profiles can constrain the elusive GSD of the dust delivered to the ISM by AGB outflows.
