星系天体物理 2025-06-06 v3

摘要

星际介质中磁场强度与气体密度之间的关系具有 fundamental importance。我们提出并比较了针对两个 comprehensive 观测数据集的贝叶斯分析:一个 Zeeman 数据集和 700 项使用 Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi (DCF) 方法进行观测的数据。使用层次贝叶斯分析,我们提出一种 general, multi-scale broken power-law 关系,B=B0(n/n0)αB=B_0(n/n_0)^{\alpha},其中 α=α1\alpha=\alpha_1n<n0n<n_0α=α2\alpha=\alpha_2n>n0n>n_0B0B_0n0n_0 处的磁场强度。对于 Zeeman 数据,我们发现:α1=0.150.09+0.06\alpha_1={0.15^{+0.06}_{-0.09}} 适用于稀疏气体,α2=0.530.07+0.09\alpha_2 = {0.53^{+0.09}_{-0.07}} 适用于致密气体,n0=4.002.90+12.7×103n_0 = 4.00^{+12.7}_{-2.90} \times 10^3 cm3^{-3}。对于 DCF 数据,我们发现:α1=0.260.15+0.15\alpha_1={0.26^{+0.15}_{-0.15}}α2=0.770.15+0.14\alpha_2={0.77_{-0.15}^{+0.14}}n0=13.97.30+10.1×104n_0=13.9^{+10.1}_{-7.30} \times 10^4 cm3^{-3},其中不确定度给出 68% 可信区间。我们对十九个 numerical magnetohydrodynamic 模拟进行了类似分析,这些模拟覆盖从原恒星盘到矮星系和银河型星系的广泛物理条件,使用 AREPO、Flash、Pencil 和 Ramses 代码完成。 resulting exponents 取决于 several physical factors such as dynamo effects and their time scales, turbulence, and initial seed field strength。我们发现矮星系和银河型星系的模拟结果最接近观测。
