AI总结:

本研究基于Planck和HI4PI观测,利用Minkowski泛函分析高银纬远红外与H I纤维结构的形态分布,发现其长宽比与纤维度呈连续自复制分布,且与CO暗H2柱密度增强及相干速度相关,同时测定了湍流磁场强度。

摘要:

在高银纬处观测到的远红外(FIR)波段内含尘磁化结构普遍存在,且被发现与具有相干速度结构的H I纤维结构密切相关。考虑基于Minkowski泛函的无量纲形态特征,我们确定了这些结构的纤维度$F$和长宽比$A$的分布。我们的数据基于Planck FIR和HI4PI H I观测。此前已通过应用Hessian算子提取了纤维结构。我们沿天球平面追踪单个纤维结构,并测定$A$和$F$。弥漫星际介质(ISM)中的纤维结构很少是孤立结构,而是属于一个纤维网络,在$A$和$F$中具有明确且连续的分布。该分布具有自我复制特性,单个纤维结构的合并或破坏仅会导致纤维在$A$和$F$空间中的重新定位,而不改变分布的走向。在高银纬识别出的FIR和H I纤维结构与具有近似恒定宽度的窄纤维模型预期高度吻合。该分布是连续的,没有观测到长宽比的明确上限。这些纤维结构与CO暗$H_2$增强的柱密度相关。沿纤维结构的径向速度是相干的,且大多呈线性,典型速度弥散为$Δv_{\mathrm{LSR}} = 5.24$ km/s。弥漫湍流ISM中的磁场强度随氢体积密度按$B \propto n_{\mathrm{H}}^{0.58}$变化。在高银纬处,我们测定平均湍流磁场强度为$\langle δB \rangle = 5.3 ~μ$G,天球平面内磁场的平均强度为$\langle B_{\mathrm{POS}} \rangle = 4.4 ~μ$G。

英文摘要:

Dusty magnetized structures observable in the far-infrared (FIR) at high Galactic latitudes are ubiquitous and found to be closely related to HI filaments with coherent velocity structures. Considering dimensionless morphological characteristics based on Minkowski functionals, we determine the distribution of filamentarities $F$ and aspect ratios $A$ for these structures. Our data are based on Planck FIR and HI4PI HI observations. Filaments have previously been extracted by applying the Hessian operator. We trace individual filamentary structures along the plane of the sky and determine $A$ and $F$. Filaments in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) are seldom isolated structures, but are rather part of a network of filaments with a well-defined, continuous distribution in $A$ and $F$. This distribution is self-replicating, and the merger or disruption of individual filamentary structures leads only to a repositioning of the filament in $A$ and $F$ without changing the course of the distribution. FIR and HI filaments identified at high Galactic latitudes are a close match to model expectations for narrow filaments with approximately constant widths. This distribution is continuous without clear upper limits on the observed aspect ratios. Filaments are associated with enhanced column densities of CO-dark $H_2$. Radial velocities along the filaments are coherent and mostly linear with typical dispersions of $Δv_{\mathrm{LSR}} = 5.24 $ km/s. The magnetic field strength in the diffuse turbulent ISM scales with hydrogen volume density as $B \propto n_{\mathrm{H}}^{0.58} $. At high Galactic latitudes, we determine an average turbulent magnetic field strength of $\langle δB \rangle = 5.3 ~μ$G and an average mean strength of the magnetic field in the plane of the sky of $\langle B_{\mathrm{POS}} \rangle = 4.4 ~μ$G.
