云-云碰撞中的气体与恒星运动学

Gas and star kinematics in cloud-cloud collisions

James Wurster, Ian A. Bonnell

AI总结:

本文通过流体动力学模拟研究分子云碰撞,发现初始速度对遗迹影响最大,而气体分布对初始条件不敏感,并引入了动态边界条件以刻画背景介质的作用。

摘要:

我们对分子云的碰撞进行建模,以研究初始性质对碰撞遗迹的作用。我们的云在与云相比密度约低十倍的背景介质中碰撞并演化,并且我们表明,这一相对致密的背景对碰撞遗迹的演化具有动力学上的重要性。考虑到云和遗迹在背景中的运动,我们开发、实现并引入了动态边界条件。我们研究了初始云质量、速度、内部湍流和碰撞角度的影响。初始速度及其速度分量对遗迹的影响最大。这会影响遗迹的空间延展范围,进而影响所形成星团的数量及其质量分布。延展范围较小的遗迹往往拥有数量更少但质量更大的星团。与星团不同,气体分布对初始条件相对不敏感,无论是整体气体性质的分布还是气体团块的分布都是如此。总体而言,当在具有动力学重要性的背景介质中以流体动力学方式建模时,云碰撞对其初始条件相对不敏感。

英文摘要:

We model the collision of molecular clouds to investigate the role of the initial properties on the remnants. Our clouds collide and evolve in a background medium that is approximately ten times less dense than the clouds, and we show that this relatively dense background is dynamically important for the evolution of the collision remnants. Given the motion of the clouds and the remnants through the background, we develop, implement, and introduce dynamic boundary conditions. We investigate the effect of the initial cloud mass, velocity, internal turbulence, and impact angle. The initial velocity and its velocity components have the largest affect on the remnant. This affects the spatial extent of the remnant, which affects the number of resulting star clusters and the distribution of their masses. The less extended remnants tend to have fewer, but more massive, clusters. Unlike the clusters, the gas distributions are relatively insensitive to the initial conditions, both the distribution of the bulk gas properties and the gas clumps. In general, cloud collisions are relatively insensitive to their initial conditions when modelled hydrodynamically in a dynamically important background medium.
