摘要:

原子碳($\mathrm{C}^0$)是致密分子气体中最丰富的原子/分子物种之一,是许多化学/物理环境中分子气体质量的潜在良好示踪剂,但银盘区域以外的$\mathrm{C^0}$丰度变化尚未完全了解。本文给出了用ASTE 10-m望远镜获得的银河系中心分子带(CMZ)宽视场500 GHz [CI]图。主成分分析和非LTE多跃迁分析表明,[CI]发射主要源自具有20-50 K温度和$\sim 10^3\ \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$密度的低激发气体组分,而$\mathrm{C^0}$丰度可能在高激发气体组分中受到抑制。CMZ中的平均$N(\mathrm{C}^0)$ / $N(\mathrm{CO})$丰度比为0.3-0.4,是银盘中的2-3倍。$N(\mathrm{C}^0)$ / $N(\mathrm{CO})$比值在最内侧10 pc区域增加到0.7,在核周盘增加到$\sim2$。我们发现$\mathrm{C^0}$富集区呈环形分布,环绕超新星遗迹(SNR)Sgr A东部,表明中央10 pc区域的$\mathrm{C}^0$富集是分子云-SNR相互作用的结果。在主成分分析(PCA)中包含的15个原子/分子中,CN是唯一在[CI]-亮环中增加的其他物种。[CI]亮环的起源可能是由Sgr A east加速的低能宇宙线粒子或SNR收集的原始分子气体产生的宇宙线主导区域,其中$\mathrm{C}^0$ -到-CO转换尚未达到平衡。

英文摘要:

Being one of the most abundant atomic/molecular species observed in dense molecular gas, atomic carbon ($\mathrm{C}^0$) is a potential good tracer of molecular gas mass in many chemical/physical environments, though the $\mathrm{C^0}$ abundance variation outside the Galactic disk region is yet to be fully known. This paper presents a wide-field 500 GHz [CI] map of the Galactic central molecular zone (CMZ) obtained with the ASTE 10-m telescope. Principal component analysis and non-LTE multi-transition analysis have shown that the [CI] emission predominantly originates from the low-excitation gas component with a 20-50 K temperature and $\sim 10^3\ \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$ density, whereas $\mathrm{C^0}$ abundance is likely suppressed in the high-excitation gas component. The average $N(\mathrm{C}^0)$/$N(\mathrm{CO})$ abundance ratio in the CMZ is 0.3-0.4, which is 2-3 times that in the Galactic disk. The $N(\mathrm{C}^0)$/$N(\mathrm{CO})$ ratio increases to 0.7 in the innermost 10 pc region and to $\sim2$ in the circumnuclear disk. We discovered $\mathrm{C^0}$-rich regions distributed in a ring-shape encircling the supernova remnant (SNR) Sgr A east, indicative that the $\mathrm{C}^0$-enrichment in the central 10 pc region is a consequence of a molecular cloud-SNR interaction. In the 15 atom/molecules included in principal component analysis (PCA), CN is the only other species that increases in the [CI]-bright ring. The origin of the [CI]-bright ring is likely a cosmic-ray dominated region created by low-energy cosmic-ray particles accelerated by Sgr A east or primitive molecular gas collected by the SNR in which the $\mathrm{C}^0$-to-CO conversion has not reached the equilibrium.
