AI总结:

本研究通过四维势能面计算了PO$^+$与H$_2$碰撞的转动激发速率系数,发现非LTE模型下柱密度比LTE值小60%,并揭示低$j$谱线在特定密度下呈现微波激射行为,强调了碰撞处理的重要性。

摘要:

我们报告了由H$_2$碰撞引起的PO$^+$转动(去)激发速率系数的推导。计算是在一个四维势能面上进行的,该势能面基于高精度的$ab$ $initio$能量点构建。初步测试表明,H$_2$的$j=0$与更高转动能级之间的耦合对截面值的影响很小,因此可以忽略H$_2$的转动结构。在此基础上,推导了温度范围从5到200 K的态到态碰撞速率系数。利用辐射转移计算模拟了最近在G+0.693-0.027分子云中观测到的PO$^+$,以评估非LTE模型对其物理条件确定的可能影响。推导出的柱密度约为$\thicksim 3.7\times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$,比先前LTE推导的值小60%(约$\thicksim 1.7$倍)。大量模拟表明,PO$^+$的低$j$转动谱线在密度介于$10^4$和$10^6$ cm$^{-3}$之间时表现出微波激射行为,这凸显了正确处理分子碰撞以准确模拟星际介质中PO$^+$发射的重要性。

英文摘要:

We report the derivation of rate coefficients for the rotational (de-)excitation of PO$^+$ induced by collisions with H$_2$. The calculations were performed on a four-dimensional potential energy surface, obtained on top of highly accurate $ab$ $initio$ energy points. Preliminary tests pointed out the low influence of the coupling between $j=0$ and the higher rotational levels of H$_2$ on the cross sections values, thus allowing to neglect the rotational structure of H$_2$. On this basis, state-to-state collisional rate coefficients were derived for temperatures ranging from 5 to 200 K. Radiative transfer calculations have been used to model the recent observation of PO$^+$ in the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud, in order to evaluate the possible impact of non-LTE models on the determination of its physical conditions. The derived column density was found to be approximately $\sim 3.7\times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$, which is 60\% (a factor of $\sim 1.7$) smaller than the previously LTE-derived value. Extensive simulations show that PO$^+$ low-$j$ rotational lines exhibit maser behavior at densities between $10^4$ and $10^6$ cm$^{-3}$, thus highlighting the importance of a proper treatment of the molecular collisions to accurately model PO$^+$ emissions in the interstellar medium.
