Illuminating M82: Simulating X-ray Emission from Galactic Winds in a Starburst Galaxy
AI总结：
研究类似M82系统中恒星形成驱动银河风的X射线发射，通过模拟改变相关参数并与钱德拉观测比较，发现模拟\(L_X\)低、表面亮度轮廓下降快及光谱过软，探讨缺失物理过程对解决差异的作用。
AI中文摘要：
我们从一组理想化的高分辨率（约4秒差距）、高盒子（约2×2×8千秒差距³）的模拟中生成模拟X射线观测数据，该模拟是关于类似M82系统中恒星形成驱动的银河风，改变空间分辨率以及超新星（SN）能量注入的强度和分布。我们将模拟的X射线观测与钱德拉对M82周围热等离子体的深度观测进行比较。虽然模拟的总X射线光度\(L_X\)随分辨率以及超新星反馈在空间上分布而增加，但即使在最佳情况下，我们模拟的\(L_X\)仍比观测值低约50 - 100倍，且X射线发射的表面亮度轮廓\(S_X(z)\)随与星系距离下降过快。我们首次将模拟的X射线光谱与观测进行比较，发现模拟光谱过软，在约1 keV以上缺乏硬X射线光子。我们讨论了模拟和先前工作中缺失的物理过程（如热传导和宇宙射线）如何有助于解决这一差异。
英文摘要：
We generate mock X-ray observations from a suite of idealized high-resolution ($\sim 4$ pc), tall-box ($\sim 2 \times 2 \times 8$ kpc$^3$) simulations of star formation driven galactic winds in an M82-like system, varying the spatial resolution as well as the strength and distribution of supernova (SN) energy injection. We compare our mock X-ray observations with deep Chandra observations of the hot plasma around M82. While the simulated total X-ray luminosity, $L_X$, increases with resolution and when SNe feedback is spatially distributed, even in the best case scenario, our simulated $L_X$ is a factor of $\sim 50-100$ lower than observed and the surface brightness profiles of X-ray emission, $S_X(z)$, fall off too quickly with distance from the galaxy. Past results were able to reproduce these observables and we discuss potential simulation differences that could explain this discrepancy. We make the first comparison of the X-ray spectrum of our simulations to observations and find that our simulated spectrum is too soft, with a deficit of hard X-ray photons at $\gtrsim 1$ keV. We discuss how physical processes missing from our simulations and prior work (e.g., thermal conduction and cosmic rays) could help resolve this discrepancy.
