摘要:

恒星形成效率(SFE)衡量分子气体转化为恒星的比例,而恒星形成率(SFR)则表示气体转化为恒星的速率。本文在分子云整体径向坍缩的框架下提出了这样一个模型:坍缩速度取决于分子云的密度分布和初始质径比,且坍缩过程中速度会不断加快。通过这个简化的解析模型,我们估算出巨分子云的寿命约为$0.44-7.36 \times 10^7$年,恒星形成时标约为$0.5-5.88 \times 10^6$年。此外,我们预测银河系的SFE约为$1.59\%$,SFR约为$1.85\rm{M_{\rm{\bigodot}} yr^{-1}}$,与观测结果相符。

英文摘要:

The star formation efficiency (SFE) measures the proportion of molecular gas converted into stars, while the star formation rate (SFR) indicates the rate at which gas is transformed into stars. Here we propose such a model in the framework of a global radial collapse of molecular clouds, where the collapse velocity depends on the density profile and the initial mass-to-radius ratio of molecular clouds, with the collapse velocity accelerating during the collapse process. This simplified analytical model allows us to estimate a lifetime of giant molecular clouds of approximately $0.44-7.36 \times 10^7\, \rm{yr}$, and a star formation timescale of approximately $0.5-5.88 \times 10^6\, \rm{yr}$. Additionally, we can predict an SFE of approximately $1.59\, \%$, and an SFR of roughly $1.85\, \rm{M_{\odot} \, yr^{-1}}$ for the Milky Way in agreement with observations.
