本综述利用ULLYSES紫外光谱观测170颗OB星,结合HI与Hα发射,系统刻画了大麦哲伦云近侧恒星驱动外流的速度结构、质量流失率及反馈机制,揭示了风的多相性质与污染来源。

AI 中文摘要

我们利用170颗OB星的紫外吸收线光谱,辅以HI 21厘米发射和H$_{\alpha}$发射,研究了大麦哲伦云(LMC)近侧恒星驱动的外流。通过Voigt轮廓拟合和AOD分析SiII、OI和SII跃迁,我们绘制了前景气体的速度依赖结构。Voigt拟合分量的SiII柱密度从LMC盘平滑下降,并在$v_{\rm LMCSR} \approx -100$至$-200~{km~s^{-1}}$处达到最小值,标志着从较稠密、较慢的风向更弥散的高速物质的转变。与局部恒星形成率面密度的比较显示,较慢风分量存在适度的正相关,将其与近期大质量恒星反馈联系起来。对$+100\lesssim v_{\rm LSR} \lesssim +150~{km~s^{-1}}$范围内13个吸收体的光电离建模揭示了金属丰度、尘埃消耗和电离条件的广泛多样性,与多种可能的起源一致。虽然这一主要为电离气体的相当大部分与LMC风的高速延伸一致,但其中一部分可能源于银河系(MW)高速云(HVCs)和麦哲伦环星系介质(CGM)的污染。我们估计近侧冷气体外流质量约为${\sim}1.8\times10^{7}\\,M_{\odot}$,意味着$\dot{M}_{\rm out}\approx0.15$-$0.33\\,M_{\odot}\\,\mathrm{yr^{-1}}$和质量载荷因子$\eta\approx0.6$-1.3。在区域尺度上,30剑鱼座贡献约$\sim10\\%$,N11贡献约$\sim3\\%$的外流总质量,而尾随侧比前导侧含有更多风物质,与冲压剥离一致。这些结果提供了恒星反馈、星系环境和前景污染如何塑造从LMC涌现的多相风的全面运动学和物理特征描述。

英文摘要

We investigate nearside stellar-driven outflows from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using UV absorption-line spectroscopy of 170 OB stars, complemented by HI 21-cm emission and H$_α$ emission. Using Voigt-profile fitting and AOD analysis of SiII, OI, and SII transitions, we map the velocity-dependent structure of foreground gas. The SiII column densities for the Voigt-fitted components decline smoothly from the LMC disk and reach a minimum at $v_{\rm LMCSR} \approx -100$ to $-200~{km~s^{-1}}$, marking the transition from a denser, slower wind to more diffuse high-velocity material. Comparisons with local star-formation rate surface densities reveal a modest positive correlation for the slower wind component, linking it to recent massive-stellar feedback. Photoionization modeling of 13 absorbers in the $+100\lesssim v_{\rm LSR} \lesssim +150~{km~s^{-1}}$ range reveals wide diversity in metallicity, dust depletion, and ionization conditions, consistent with multiple possible origins. While a substantial fraction of this predominately ionized gas is consistent with the high-velocity extension of the LMC wind, part of it may arise from contamination by Milky Way (MW) high-velocity clouds (HVCs) and Magellanic circumgalactic medium (CGM). We estimate a nearside cool-gas outflow mass of ${\sim}1.8\times10^{7}\,M_{\odot}$, implying $\dot{M}_{\rm out}\approx0.15$-$0.33\,M_{\odot}\,\mathrm{yr^{-1}}$ and a mass-loading factor of $η\approx0.6$-1.3. On regional scales, 30 Doradus contributes $\sim10\%$ and N11 contributes $\sim3\%$ of the total outflow mass, while the trailing side contains more wind material than the leading side, consistent with ram-pressure stripping. These results provide the comprehensive kinematic and physical characterization of how stellar feedback, galactic environment, and foreground contamination shape the multiphase wind emerging from the LMC.
