AI总结:

本文通过分析O9型超巨星CD-23 13777的高分辨率光谱,发现与超新星遗迹W28相关的高速吸收成分,揭示激波速度至少为150 km/s,并证明该视线是研究W28与致密分子气体相互作用的独特探针。

摘要:

我们展示了对CD-23 13777视线方向获得的中等高分辨率光谱的分析。CD-23 13777是一颗O9型超巨星,可用于探测与超新星遗迹W28相关的高速星际气体。在朝向CD-23 13777的星际Na I D线和Ca II H、K线中,同时观测到高速正速度和高速负速度的吸收成分。这些高速成分表现出较低的Na I/Ca II比值,表明激波溅射导致了高效的尘埃颗粒破坏。在较低速度成分中观测到的高柱密度CH+以及高CH+/CH比值,可能表明与W28相互作用的云中存在增强的湍流。朝向CD-23 13777的Na I和Ca II吸收中所见成分的最高正速度和负速度意味着,与W28相关的激波波前速度至少为150 km/s,这一数值显著高于此前大多数估计。CD-23 13777的视线非常接近一个著名的超新星遗迹与东北方向分子云的相互作用区域。该东北方向分子云表现出宽分子线发射、来自多个位置的OH脉泽发射,以及明亮的延展GeV和TeV伽马射线发射。因此,CD-23 13777的视线是探测W28与其周围致密分子气体相互作用的独特而有价值的探针。未来在紫外和可见光波段的观测将有助于更好地约束该视线方向上激波气体和宁静气体中的元素丰度、运动学和物理条件。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of moderately high resolution optical spectra obtained for the sight line to CD-23 13777, an O9 supergiant that probes high velocity interstellar gas associated with the supernova remnant W28. Absorption components at both high positive and high negative velocity are seen in the interstellar Na I D and Ca II H and K lines toward CD-23 13777. The high velocity components exhibit low Na I/Ca II ratios, suggesting efficient grain destruction by shock sputtering. High column densities of CH+, and high CH+/CH ratios, for the components seen at lower velocity may be indicative of enhanced turbulence in the clouds interacting with W28. The highest positive and negative velocities of the components seen in Na I and Ca II absorption toward CD-23 13777 imply that the velocity of the blast wave associated with W28 is at least 150 km/s, a value that is significantly higher than most previous estimates. The line of sight to CD-23 13777 passes very close to a well-known site of interaction between the SNR and a molecular cloud to the northeast. The northeast molecular cloud exhibits broad molecular line emission, OH maser emission from numerous locations, and bright extended GeV and TeV gamma-ray emission. The sight line to CD-23 13777 is thus a unique and valuable probe of the interaction between W28 and dense molecular gas in its environs. Future observations at UV and visible wavelengths will help to better constrain the abundances, kinematics, and physical conditions in the shocked and quiescent gas along this line of sight.
