AI总结:

提出基于Wasserstein距离的新技术识别麦哲伦流中HI发射与UV吸收体的关联,发现关联气体柱密度更高且尾部电离更强,并揭示麦哲伦流与云间的连续弥漫电离气体。

摘要:

我们提出了一种新技术,用于识别麦哲伦流(MS)中的HI发射与MS附近92条类星体(QSO)视线上的紫外(UV)吸收体之间的关联。我们使用基于Wasserstein距离的模型,量化了单个HI元素与流主体HI结构之间的关联程度,并推导了MS中HI发射的特征空间距离和运动学距离。基于该发射模型,我们进一步开发了一种比较度量方法,用于识别单个UV吸收体相对于MS及邻近星系的主要关联。对于由CII、CIV、SiII、SiIII、SiIV探测到的与MS相关的电离气体,我们发现其电离柱密度通常比无关联的气体高出约0.5 dex,并且CII/CIV比率的空间趋势表明,在MS尾部气体电离程度更高。对于邻近星系,我们识别出与M33和NGC300的CGM相关的潜在新吸收体,并确认了吸收体与IC1613和WLM的关联。对于M31,我们发现了先前已识别的柱密度随碰撞参数变化的梯度,并且超出M31位力半径的高柱密度吸收体更可能与MS相关。我们对与麦哲伦云相关的吸收体的分析揭示了在流与云之间存在连续且混合的弥漫电离气体。我们的技术可应用于未来在物理复杂气体结构中识别关联的应用。

英文摘要:

We present a new technique to identify associations of HI emission in the Magellanic Stream (MS) and ultraviolet (UV) absorbers from 92 QSO sight lines near the MS. We quantify the level of associations of individual HI elements to the main HI body of the Stream using Wasserstein distance-based models, and derive characteristic spatial and kinematic distances of the HI emission in the MS. With the emission-based model, we further develop a comparison metric, which identifies the dominant associations of individual UV absorbers with respective to the MS and nearby galaxies. For ionized gas associated with the MS probed by CII, CIV, SiII, SiIII, SiIV, we find that the ion column densities are generally $\sim$0.5 dex higher than those that are not associated, and that the gas is more ionized toward the tail of the MS as indicated by the spatial trend of the CII/CIV ratios. For nearby galaxies, we identify potential new absorbers associated with the CGM of M33 and NGC300, and affirm the associations of absorbers with IC1613 and WLM. For M31, we find the previously identified gradient in column densities as a function of impact parameter, and that absorbers with higher column densities beyond M31's virial radius are more likely to be associated with the MS. Our analysis of absorbers associated with the Magellanic Clouds reveals the presence of continuous and blended diffuse ionized gas between the Stream and the Clouds. Our technique can be applied to future applications of identifying associations within physically complex gaseous structures.
