The interaction of a large-scale nuclear wind with the high velocity HII region G0.17+0.15
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We investigate the nature of a Galactic center source, G0.17+0.15, lying
along the northern extension of the Radio Arc near l 0.2deg. G0.17+0.15 is an
HII region located toward the eastern edge of the radio bubble, embedded within
the highly polarized Galactic center eastern Lobe where a number of radio
filaments appear to cross through the HII region. We report the detection of
hydrogen and helium recombination lines with a radial velocity exceeding 140
km/s based on GBT and VLA observations. The morphology of G0.17+0.15, aided by
kinematics, and spectral index characteristics, suggests the presence of an
external pressure dragging and shredding the ionized gas. We argue that this
ionized cloud is interacting with a bundle of radio filaments and is entrained
by the ram pressure of the radio bubble, which itself is thought to be produced
by cosmic-ray driven outflows at the Galactic center. In this interpretation,
the gas streamers on the western side of G0.17+0.15 are stripped, accelerated
from 0 to deltav 35 km/s, over a time scale roughly 8x10^4 years, implying that
ablating ram pressure is 700 eV cm-3, comparable to the 10^3 eV cm-3
cosmic-ray driven wind pressure in the Galactic center region.
