中央分子带云的维里团

Virial Clumps in Central Molecular Zone Clouds

Philip C. Myers, H Perry Hatchfield, Cara Battersby

摘要:

分析了亚毫米波阵CMZoom巡天观测资料,描述了银河系中央分子带(CMZ)22个云团中755个团簇的维里平衡(VE)和恒星形成潜能。在每个云团中,几乎所有团块都遵循柱密度质量趋势N~M^s,其中s = 0.38 +- 0.03接近压力边界极限s=1/3。当VE中重力未结合的团块具有相似的速度色散和外部压力时,这种趋势是预期的。这些云中有九个还含有一个或两个明显更大的团块。这些属性允许在每个云中的绑定和未绑定团块的VE模型,其中最大质量的团块具有VE临界质量。这些模型表明,有213个团块的速度弥散为1-2 km s^(-1),平均外部压力为0.5 ~ 4 x 10^8 cm^(-3)K,束缚团块比例为0.06,典型的维里参数α =4 ~ 15。这些大部分未结合的团块可能是在VE与他们的湍流云压力,可能是由流入银河酒吧。相比之下,大多数Sgr B2团块根据其相关来源和N-M趋势而结合。当CMZ团块组合成质量分布时,用停止吸积模型分析了其典型的幂律斜率。它还表明,大多数团块是未绑定的,不能显着增长,由于它们的吸积和扩散的时间尺度相似,约0.2百万年。因此,维里和动力学分析的最广泛的集群普查表明,恒星形成的CMZ可能会抑制一个显着赤字的引力约束团块。

英文摘要:

CMZoom survey observations with the Submillimeter Array are analyzed to describe the virial equilibrium (VE) and star-forming potential of 755 clumps in 22 clouds in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way. In each cloud, nearly all clumps follow the column-density-mass trend N~M^s, where s = 0.38 +- 0.03 is near the pressure-bounded limit s=1/3. This trend is expected when gravitationally unbound clumps in VE have similar velocity dispersion and external pressure. Nine of these clouds also harbor one or two distinctly more massive clumps. These properties allow a VE model of bound and unbound clumps in each cloud, where the most massive clump has the VE critical mass. These models indicate that 213 clumps have velocity dispersion 1-2 km s^(-1), mean external pressure 0.5-4 x 10^8 cm^(-3) K, bound clump fraction 0.06, and typical virial parameter alpha=4-15. These mostly unbound clumps may be in VE with their turbulent cloud pressure, possibly driven by inflow from the galactic bar. In contrast, most Sgr B2 clumps are bound according to their associated sources and N-M trends. When the CMZ clumps are combined into mass distributions, their typical power-law slope is analyzed with a stopped accretion model. It also indicates that most clumps are unbound and cannot grow significantly, due to their similar time scales of accretion and dispersal, ~0.2 Myr. Thus, virial and dynamical analyses of the most extensive clump census available indicate that star formation in the CMZ may be suppressed by a significant deficit of gravitationally bound clumps.
