成星致密核的磁性

Magnetic Properties of Star-Forming Dense Cores

Philip C. Myers, Shantanu Basu

摘要:

磁和能量特性的17个致密的核心内几百pc的太阳。他们的天空平面场强估计从偏振方向的色散,戴维斯,Erasekhar和费米(DCF)。它们的质量与磁临界质量之比为0.5-3,表明接近临界场强。场强B_pos与柱密度N的关系为B_pos~N^p,其中p=1.05+-0.08,与密度n的关系为B_pos~n^q,其中q=0.66+-0.05。这些磁性与Zeeman研究(Crutcher等人,2010年)得出的磁性一致,散射较小。维里质量M_V、磁临界质量M_B和阿尔夫文振幅sigma_B/B之间的关系与观察到的接近维里的核心的M/M_B的观察范围相匹配,M/M_V=0.5-2,阿尔夫文振幅中等,sigma_B/B=0.1-0.4。在DCF和塞曼样品中的B-N和B-n相关性可以被解释为当这样的约束,Alfvenic,和近临界的核心有中心浓度和球形形状。对于这些性质,B~N是因为M/M_B与N的范围相比几乎是常数,B~n^(2/3)是因为M^(1/3)与n^(2/3)的范围相比几乎是常数。观测到的遵循B~n^(2/3)的核心场不必比引力弱得多,这与遵循B~n^(2/3)的核心场不同,后者是由于在恒定质量下的球形收缩(Mestel 1966)。相反,接近临界值的M/M_B表明,观测到的核心场几乎是尽可能强的,在允许引力收缩的值之间。

英文摘要:

Magnetic and energetic properties are presented for 17 dense cores within a few hundred pc of the Sun. Their plane-of-sky field strengths are estimated from the dispersion of polarization directions, following Davis, Chandrasekhar and Fermi (DCF). Their ratio of mass to magnetic critical mass is 0.5-3, indicating nearly critical field strengths. The field strength B_pos is correlated with column density N as B_pos~N^p, where p=1.05+-0.08, and with density n as B_pos~n^q, where q=0.66+-0.05. These magnetic properties are consistent with those derived from Zeeman studies (Crutcher et al. 2010), with less scatter. Relations between virial mass M_V, magnetic critical mass M_B, and Alfven amplitude sigma_B/B match the observed range of M/M_B for cores observed to be nearly virial, with M/M_V=0.5-2, with moderate Alfven amplitudes, and with sigma_B/B=0.1-0.4. The B-N and B-n correlations in the DCF and Zeeman samples can be explained when such bound, Alfvenic, and nearly-critical cores have central concentration and spheroidal shape. For these properties, B~N because M/M_B is nearly constant compared to the range of N, and B~n^(2/3) because M^(1/3) is nearly constant compared to the range of n^(2/3). The observed core fields which follow B~n^(2/3) need not be much weaker than gravity, in contrast to core fields which follow B~n^(2/3) due to spherical contraction at constant mass (Mestel 1966). Instead, the nearly critical values of M/M_B suggest that the observed core fields are nearly as strong as possible, among values which allow gravitational contraction.
