"Molecules in Galactic Centers"

時間/地點: 2014-12-26 14:00 [S4-1013]

摘要:

Composition of different molecular species has been used to determine physical conditions of molecular gas in many of galactic star-forming regions. Recently, the early science of ALMA has shown the ability to observe molecular lines of variety of species even in extragalatic sources. In galactic centers, molecular abundances can be affected by X-rays from active galactic nuclei (AGNs), UV-photons from nuclear starbursts, cosmic rays from supernovae, or shock waves from outflows. In this talk, I will discuss how molecular abundances of different species in an AGN-containing galaxy can be affected by different mechanisms according to the chemical models. Next, I will move onto the circumnuclear disk at the center of Milky Way within a few-parsec from the central black hole Sgr A*. By combining chemical models and line surveys taken by IRAM 30-meter telescope and APEX telescope, I will present how energetic particles such as cosmic rays in the Galactic Center can affect the chemical compositions.
