Resumen:
|
NGC 1097 is a nearby Seyfert 1 galaxy with a bright circumnuclear starburst ring, a strong large-scale bar, and an active nucleus. We present a detailed study of the spatial variation of the far-infrared (FIR) [C II]158 ?m and [O I]63 ?m lines and mid-infrared H2 emission lines as tracers of gas cooling, and of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) bands as tracers of the photoelectric heating, using Herschel-PACS and Spitzer-IRS infrared spectral maps. We focus on the nucleus and the ring, and two star-forming regions (Enuc N and Enuc S). We estimated a photoelectric gas heating efficiency ([C II]158 ?m+[O I]63 ?m)/PAH in the ring about 50% lower than in Enuc N and S. The average 11.3/7.7 ?m PAH ratio is also lower in the ring, which may suggest a larger fraction of ionized PAHs, but no clear correlation with [C II]158 ?m/PAH(5.5-14 ?m) is found. PAHs in the ring are responsible for a factor of two more [C II]158 ?m and [O I]63 ?m emission per unit mass than PAHs in the Enuc S. spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling indicates that at most 25% of the FIR power in the ring and Enuc S can come from high-intensity photodissociation regions (PDRs), in which case G_0 ~ 10^2.3 and n_H ~ 10^3.5 cm^–3 in the ring. For these values of G_0 and n_H, PDR models cannot reproduce the observed H_2 emission. Much of the H_2 emission in the starburst ring could come from warm regions in the diffuse interstellar medium that are heated by turbulent dissipation or shocks.
