AI总结:

利用JWST/MIRI观测,在行星状星云NGC 6302的尘埃环中检测到CO₂冰,发现其气体相CO₂与冰的比值显著高于年轻恒星对象,表明尘埃环提供了足够的屏蔽以保护冰化学。

摘要:

利用JWST/MIRI观测,我们报告了在行星状星云NGC 6302的尘埃环中检测到CO₂冰,该环境通常被认为对脆弱的分子物种和冰有害,由于强烈的紫外辐射。这一发现伴随同一视线方向的冷气体相CO₂(20-50 K)。冰吸收谱呈现出双峰特征,这是纯、结晶CO₂冰的典型特征。CO₂气体与冰的比值比年轻恒星对象高一个数量级,表明在演化恒星环境中存在不同的冰形成或处理机制。这一发现表明尘埃环提供了足够的屏蔽以保护冰化学,并且必须在行星状星云的化学模型中纳入冰介导的表面反应。

英文摘要:

Using JWST/MIRI observations, we report the detection of CO$_2$ ice in the dusty torus of the planetary nebula NGC 6302, an environment generally considered hostile to fragile molecular species and ices due to intense UV irradiation. This detection accompanies cold (20-50 K) gas-phase CO$_2$ along the same sightlines. The ice absorption profile exhibits a double-peak profile, a characteristic of pure, crystalline CO$_2$ ice. The CO$_2$ gas-to-ice ratio is more than an order of magnitude higher than in young stellar objects, pointing to distinct ice formation or processing mechanisms in evolved stellar environments. This discovery demonstrates that the dusty torus provides sufficient shielding to harbour ice chemistry, and that ice-mediated surface reactions must be incorporated into chemical models of planetary nebulae.
