Molecular Tracers of Turbulent Shocks in Molecular Clouds Andy Pon, Doug Johnstone, Michael J. Kaufman ApJ, submitted May 2011

Ridge et al. (2006) Observed (FWHM = 1.9 km / s) Thermal broadening alone (FWHM = 0.2 km / s) 12 CO J = 1-0

Sound Crossing Times (t / t s ) Turbulent Energy (E/ρL 3 C s 2 ) Stone et al. (1998) Turbulent Energy Decay in a Hydro Simulation

B = 14 μG B = 1.4 μG B = 4.4 μG B = 0 μ G Stone et al. (1998) Turbulent Energy (E/ρL 3 C s 2 ) Sound Crossing Times (t / t s ) Turbulent Energy Decay in MHD Simulations

Shock Model Setup  Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) C-shock code from Kaufman & Neufeld (1996)  Density of either , 10 3 or cm -3  Shock velocities of 2 or 3 km / s  Initial magnetic field strengths, perpendicular to the shock direction, of B = b n(H) 0.5 μ G, where b = 0.1 or 0.3. This gives B from 3 μ G to 24 μ G.  Mach numbers from 10 to 20 and Alfvénic Mach numbers ranging from 5 to 15

n = cm -3 n = 10 3 cm -3 n = cm -3 v = 3 km s -1 b = 0.3 v = 2 km s -1 b = 0.1 v = 3 km s -1 b = 0.1

Energy Dissipation Mechanisms CO Rotational Transitions (68%) Magnetic Field (16%) H 2 Rotational Transitions (14%) S(0) at 28 μ m and S(1) at 17 μ m

Molecular Cloud Dissipation Rate The turbulent energy density is: E = 3/2 ρ v 2 If the dissipation timescale is roughly the crossing time: ΔE / t c = 3/2 ρ v 2 * v / (2R) There is an empirical relationship between the velocity dispersion and the radius of a molecular cloud. For a spherical cloud:

Photodissociation Region (PDR) Model  PDR model from Kaufman et al. (1999)  Density of 1000 cm -3  Interstellar radiation field of 3 Habing  Microturbulent Doppler line width of 1.5 km / s  Extends to an A V of approximately 10

Zeus-2 Bands

n = cm -3 n = 10 3 cm -3 n = cm -3 v = 3 km s -1 b = 0.3 v = 2 km s -1 b = 0.1 v = 3 km s -1 b = 0.1

Summary (see ApJ, submitted May 2011 for more detail)  Magnetic field compression removes a significant (15- 45%) fraction of a shock’s energy  H 2 rotational lines trace shocks with Alfvénic Mach numbers > 15  CO rotational transitions dissipate the majority of the energy  Low J lines are dominated by PDR emission  Mid to high lines trace shock emission!
