星际化学模型中的持续振荡

Sustained oscillations in Interstellar chemistry models

Evelyne Roueff, Jacques Le Bourlot

摘要:

星际化学模型中的非线性行为已经被认识了25年。不同的机制解释了稳态下多个固定点的可能性,其特征在于气体的电离度。化学振荡也是非线性化学模型的自然行为。我们研究在何种条件下自发持续的化学振荡是可能的,什么样的分叉导致,或淬火,这种振荡的发生。方法.利用常微分方程积分器VODE对星际暗云气相化学模型的初始条件和参数空间进行了研究。我们还记得,在固定温度条件下的各种化学丰度的时间演化取决于密度对宇宙电离率nH/nH比值。我们还报告了自然持续振荡的发生有限,但定义明确的控制参数范围。振荡的周期是在星际过程的特征时间尺度范围内,并可能导致壮观的共振依赖于时间的模型。储层物质(C、CO、NH3等)振荡幅度通常小于因子2。然而,对于低丰度的物质,如HCN,ND 3,这些振幅达到10到1000倍,这可能在诊断中起关键作用。振荡的机制与氮的化学性质密切相关,需要长链的反应,如在多氘过程中发现的。

英文摘要:

Non-linear behavior in interstellar chemical models has been recognized for 25 years now. Different mechanisms account for the possibility of multiple fixed-points at steady state, characterized by the ionization degree of the gas. Chemical oscillations are also a natural behaviour of non-linear chemical models. We study under which conditions spontaneous sustained chemical oscillations are possible, and what kind of biffurcations lead to, or quench, the occurrence of such oscillations. Methods. The well known Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) integrator VODE is used to explore initial conditions and parameter space in a gas phase chemical model of a dark interstellar cloud. We recall that the time evolution of the various chemical abundances under fixed temperature conditions depends on the density over cosmic ionization rate nH/ζ ratio. We also report the occurrence of naturally sustained oscillations for a limited but well defined range of control parameters. The period of oscillations is within the range of characteristic time scales of interstellar processes and could lead to spectacular resonances in time dependent models. Reservoir species (C, CO, NH3, ...) oscillation amplitudes are generally less than a factor two. However, these amplitudes reach a factor ten to thousand for low abundance species, e.g. HCN, ND3, that may play a key role for diagnostic purposes.The mechanism responsible for oscillations is tightly linked to the chemistry of nitrogen, and requires long chains of reactions such as found in multi-deuteration processes.
