1 HI gas stars ASTRO 310: Galac/c & Extragalac/c Astronomy Prof. Jeff Kenney Class 18 November 5, 2018 HI Gas in Spiral Galaxies
2 HI in galaxies major mass component of ISM (there is also horer and colder gas) large part of gaseous reservoir of material for star forma/on (also H 2 ) Can detect it far from galaxy centers - - good for tracing orbital mo/ons and measuring total masses of galaxies - - leading to evidence for dark ma.er in galaxies in gas we see clear evidence for interac4ons - - both gravita/onal and ram pressure stripping

5 Milky Way in stars (NIR) and neutral gas (HI) Milky way galaxy in infrared (1.2, 1.6, 2.2µm)(J H K)(2MASS) Milky Way in HI (The Leiden/Argen/ne/Bonn Galac/c HI Survey) Map shows en/re sky! 180 o 180 o A disk component (not bulge) but some HI clouds extend up into the halo
6 Detec/ng atomic hydrogen with spectral line of HI H is most abundant element in universe (~74% by mass) I in HI means atom has all its electrons (only 1 in case of H) p e Electron in lowest (n=1) orbit
7 Neutral Hydrogen (HI): λ=21cm spectral line from spin- flip transi/on An H atom in upper energy state (parallel spins) will spontaneously change to lower energy state (an/- parallel spins), emirng a photon with λ=21cm in the process
8 21cm HI spectral line from spin- flip transi/on of neutral Hydrogen Hydrogen energy level diagram Electron in 2 nd orbital level Electron in ground state orbital level F=1 F=0 Electron in ground state orbital level is split into 2 hyperfine levels
9 Why 21cm HI line is important 1. It is easy to excite upper energy level Upper energy level is only E = 5.9x10-6 ev or T = E/k = 0.07 K above ground state!
10 Why 21cm HI line is important 1. It is easy to excite upper energy level Upper energy level is only E = 5.9x10-6 ev or T = E/k = 0.07 K above ground state! Tiny amount of energy required to excite upper state it is easy to do this with low energy collisions, which happen almost anywhere in universe!
11 Why 21cm HI line is important 1. It is easy to excite upper energy level Upper energy level is only E = 5.9x10-6 ev or T = E/k = 0.07 K above ground state! Tiny amount of energy required to excite upper state it is easy to do this with low energy collisions, which happen almost anywhere in universe! 21cm HI line is excellent probe of neutral hydrogen gas throughout universe
12 Why 21cm HI line is important 2. Intensity is good measure of amount of gas Intensity depends (mostly) on number of H atoms along the line of sight so it s a good measure of the mass of neutral Hydrogen along the line of sight
13 compare Hα recombina/on line from HII regions with 21cm line (=HI line) from HI regions
14 how well does Hα emission trace the mass of hydrogen gas? A. the number of Hα photons is propor/onal to the total gas mass B. the number of Hα photons is propor/onal to the ionized gas mass C. the number of Hα photons depends on the ionized gas mass and the gas density D. the number of Hα photons depends on the ionized gas mass and the gas density and the temperature
15 how well does Hα emission trace the mass of hydrogen gas? A. the number of Hα photons is propor/onal to the total gas mass B. the number of Hα photons is propor/onal to the ionized gas mass C. the number of Hα photons depends on the ionized gas mass and the gas density D. the number of Hα photons depends on the ionized gas mass and the gas density and the temperature
16 Imagine galaxy disk filled with neutral hydrogen (HI), uniformly distributed There are newly formed stars ( ) within the gas disk, each with enough ionizing radia/on to ionize a lot of the surrounding gas This makes small regions of ionized gas around each of the massive stars: HII Regions HI HII
17 recall Homework #4 M HII = 126 M sun r* = 1.07 pc M HII = 12.6 M sun r* = 0.23 pc
18 but it means we can t use the number of Hα photons to trace the amount of ionized Hydrogen (unless we somehow know the density & temperature, which are hard to know)!
19 Why is 21cm HI line a good tracer of neutral hydrogen gas mass, but the Hα line a poor tracer of ionized hydrogen gas mass?
20 Hα : collision /me vs. spontaneous emission /me t coll (=t rec ) ~ 10 4 yr t em (=A - 1 ) ~ 10-8 sec depends on density & temperature. this is typical value for HII region. t em <<t coll Einstein A coefficient for spontaneous emission since t em <<t coll, atom in excited state will emit Hα photon before it has another collision frac/on of atoms that produce photons = frac/on of atoms in excited state, which depends on photoioniza4on rate & par4cle density and temperature more photoioniza/ons & more collisions (recombina/ons) à more Hα photons
21 HΙ : collision /me vs. spontaneous emission /me t coll ~ 10 3 yr t em (=A - 1 ) ~ 10 7 yr t em >>t coll since t em >>t coll, the vast majority of atoms in excited state will have another collision before it emits HΙ photon frac/on of atoms that produce photons = frac/on of atoms in excited state, doesn t depend on photons or par6cle density or temperature more collisions à same # HΙ photons
22 The 21cm HI line is forbidden forbidden: collision /me << spontaneous emission /me Average excited H atom takes ~11 Myr to (spontaneously) make hyperfine transi/on which produces 21cm photon. (This is average /me for any 1 atom, the /me will be different - - sta/s/cal process) Einstein A coefficient for spontaneous emission of 21cm photon Collision /me for H atoms in ISM is ~1000 yrs much shorter than 11 Myr. So collisions determine popula/on of energy levels. Most H atoms in upper energy level are collisionally de- excited before they can emit a photon. But a small frac4on of the excited H atoms manage to emit a photon before they have a collision. And this is enough to produce a 21cm emission line from a gas cloud that is strong enough to detect, since there are so many atoms in the gas cloud the number of HI photons produced is propor/onal to the number of H atoms in excited state = ¾ number of H atoms
23 Why 21cm HI line is important 2. Intensity is good measure of amount of gas Intensity depends (mostly) on number of H atoms along the line of sight so it s a good measure of the mass of neutral Hydrogen along the line of sight Intensity doesn t depend on gas density (collision /me much shorter than /me it takes to emit 21cm photon) (very different from Hα spectral line (WIM) or X- Ray con/nuum emission (HIM), whose intensity depends on density)
24 Measuring HI mass from 21cm line HI is major mass component of ISM: How can we measure the mass in this phase? What assumptions does this rely on? How well does this work? This equa/on derives from the quantum mechanics of the hyperfine transi/on and the assump/on that the HI gas is op/cally thin. Mass depends on Distance squared Line flux is observed (integral over all veloci/es) Flux density S(v) or F ν (janskys) 1 jansky = W m - 2 = erg s - 1 cm - 2

56 Cluster spirals with ram- pressure stripped HI gas tails Virgo galaxies with long one- sided HI tails poin/ng roughly away from M87 at cluster center. Large panel shows X- Ray map of cluster, with galaxy tail direc/ons indicated by arrows. Small panels show HI contour maps on greyscale op/cal images of galaxies. Proper/es suggest gas stripping during the galaxies first infall into the cluster. (Chung etal 2007).
57 Ram pressure stripping of galaxy gas Galaxies moving through gas (from ICM or IGM or ISM of other galaxy) will experience a ram pressure force which may push the ISM gas out of the galaxy. Gas with surface density Σ ISM may be stripped if the ram pressure ρ ICM v 2 exceeds the gravita/onal restoring force per area Σ ISM dφ/dz, or ram gravita/onal pressure > force per area ρ ICM v 2 > Σ ISM dφ/dz ρ ICM v r.p.s. is important for large & small galaxies in clusters, and for dwarf galaxies which are satellites of larger galaxies
58 Simula/on of galaxy s gas being ram pressure stripped as it orbits through cluster gas: tail extends over much of orbit (AMR, FLASH) simula/on by Elke Roedigger
59 Why ram pressure strips gas not stars Imagine star and gas cloud, each with same mass M, but star is much denser with smaller projected area A Gravita/onal force & ram pressure on each is the same, but ram pressure force is larger for big diffuse thing since it has larger area F grav vs. F ram = P ram A F ram STAR F ram GAS CLOUD M, A star M, A cloud Σ ISM = M/A cloud F grav F grav Ram pressure wind P ram = ρv 2
