Effects of Preionization in Radiative Shocks. I. Self-consistent Models

Abstract: In this paper we treat the pre-ionisation problem in shocks over the velocity range 10 < v s < 1500 km/s in a self-consistent manner. We identify four distinct classes of solution controlled by the value of the shock precursor parameter, Ψ = Q/v s , where Q is the ionization parameter of the UV photons escaping upstream. This parameter determines both the temperature and the degree of ionisation of the gas entering the shock. In increasing velocity the shock solution regimes are cold neutral precursors (v s 40… Show more

“…At the distance of HuBi 1 and adopting a volume filling factor of 0.3 [25], this density implies an ionized mass of 0.08 M ⊙ , which is reasonable value for a PN. The code MAPPINGS V 5.1.13 [27] was used to explore the evolution of the intensity of various emission lines in a freely cooling gas. The Supplementary Figure 4 shows the time-evolution of the electronic temperature, ionization fraction of hydrogen, and emissivity of several emission lines for a spherical photo-ionized cloud of gas once the ionizing source is switched off and the gas is allowed to cool freely.…”

“…shocks -which might affect ion abundances and emission line intensities (cfr. Sutherland & Dopita 2017;Sutherland et al 2018). However, the typical PDR code (Röllig et al 2007) includes -and models more accurately -a larger number of physical processes with respect to the ones typically considered in hydrodynamical simulations with radiative transfer.…”

“…We will explore this possibility in forthcoming studies. As a first approach, models with shock (like MAPPINGS models, Sutherland & Dopita 2017) could be used to study the contribution of shocks, using, for example, the grid recently published by Alarie & Morisset (2019).…”
