丝的等级分裂和亚丝的作用

The hierarchical fragmentation of filaments and the role of sub-filaments

S. D. Clarke, G. M. Williams, S. Walch

摘要:

最近的观察表明,在较大的细丝中存在小纤维或子细丝。我们提出了一个数值破碎研究纤维长丝调查核心和子丝之间的联系,使用流体动力学模拟与移动网格代码Arepo。我们的研究表明,核心在两种环境中形成:(i)作为孤立的核心,或小链的核心,在一个单一的子丝,或(ii)作为一个整体的核心位于子丝的交界处。我们分别称之为孤立核和枢纽核。我们发现,这些核心人群在统计上彼此不同。轮毂核心比孤立核心具有更大的平均质量,并且轮毂核心的质量分布比孤立核心显著更宽。这种碎片化让人想起秒差距尺度的中心-细丝系统,表明湍流和重力的结合导致多个尺度上的类似碎片化特征,即使在细丝内也是如此。此外,通过亚丝进行碎片化的事实表明,核之间不存在特征性的碎片化长度尺度。这与早期研究无纤维细丝的理论工作相反,后者提出了形成准周期性间隔核心的强烈趋势,但与观测结果更一致。我们还表明,初步迹象表明,全球塌缩的灯丝优先形成核心的两个灯丝端,这是更大的质量和密度比其他核心。

英文摘要:

Recent observations have revealed the presence of small fibres or sub-filaments within larger filaments. We present a numerical fragmentation study of fibrous filaments investigating the link between cores and sub-filaments using hydrodynamical simulations performed with the moving-mesh code Arepo. Our study suggests that cores form in two environments: (i) as isolated cores, or small chains of cores, on a single sub-filament, or (ii) as an ensemble of cores located at the junction of sub-filaments. We term these isolated and hub cores respectively. We show that these core populations are statistically different from each other. Hub cores have a greater mean mass than isolated cores, and the mass distribution of hub cores is significantly wider than isolated cores. This fragmentation is reminiscent of parsec-scale hub-filament systems, showing that the combination of turbulence and gravity leads to similar fragmentation signatures on multiple scales, even within filaments. Moreover, the fact that fragmentation proceeds through sub-filaments suggests that there exists no characteristic fragmentation length-scale between cores. This is in opposition to earlier theoretical works studying fibre-less filaments which suggest a strong tendency towards the formation of quasi-periodically spaced cores, but in better agreement with observations. We also show tentative signs that global collapse of filaments preferentially form cores at both filament ends, which are more massive and dense than other cores.
