Cloud-cloud collision (CCC) has been suggested as a mechanism to induce massive star formation. Recent simulations suggest that a CCC speed is different among galactic-scale environments, which is responsible for observed differences in star formation activity. In particular, a high-speed CCC is proposed as a cause of star formation suppression in the bar regions in barred spiral galaxies. Focusing on the strongly barred galaxy NGC 1300, we investigate the CCC speed. We find the CCC speed in the bar and bar-end tend to be higher than that in the arm. The estimated CCC speed is ${\sim}20$, ${\sim}16$, and ${\sim}11~\rm km~s^{-1}$ in the bar, bar-end, and arm, respectively. Although the star formation activity is different in the bar and bar-end, the CCC speed and the number density of high-speed CCC with ${\gt}20~\rm km~s^{-1}$ are high in both regions, implying the existence of other parameters that control the star formation. The difference in molecular gas mass (average density) of the giant molecular clouds (GMCs) between the bar (lower mass and lower density) and bar-end (higher mass and higher density) may be cause for the different star formation activity. Combining with our previous study, the leading candidates of causes for the star formation suppression in the bar in NGC 1300 are the presence of a large amount of diffuse molecular gases and high-speed CCCs between low-mass GMCs.

强棒星系NGC 1300环境、云-云碰撞速度和恒星形成活动之间的联系

云-云碰撞(CCC)被认为是一种诱导大质量恒星形成的机制。最近的模拟表明,星系尺度环境中的 CCC 速度是不同的,这导致观察到的恒星形成活动存在差异。特别是,提出了高速CCC作为棒旋星系棒区域中恒星形成抑制的原因。我们以强棒星系 NGC 1300 为重点,研究 CCC 速度。我们发现杆和杆端的 CCC 速度往往高于手臂。在 bar、bar-end 和 arm 中估计的 CCC 速度分别为 ${\sim}20$、${\sim}16$ 和 ${\sim}11~\rm km~s^{-1}$ , 分别。虽然 bar 和 bar-end 的恒星形成活动不同,${\gt}20~\rm km~s^{-1}$ 的高速 CCC 速度和数量密度在两个区域都很高,这意味着存在其他控制恒星形成的参数。巨分子云(GMCs)在棒(较低质量和较低密度)和棒端(较高质量和较高密度)之间的分子气体质量(平均密度)差异可能是导致不同恒星形成活动的原因。结合我们之前的研究,NGC 1300 棒中恒星形成抑制的主要原因是在低质量 GMC 之间存在大量扩散分子气体和高速 CCC。巨分子云(GMCs)在棒(较低质量和较低密度)和棒端(较高质量和较高密度)之间的分子气体质量(平均密度)差异可能是导致不同恒星形成活动的原因。结合我们之前的研究,NGC 1300 棒中恒星形成抑制的主要原因是在低质量 GMC 之间存在大量扩散分子气体和高速 CCC。巨分子云(GMCs)在棒(较低质量和较低密度)和棒端(较高质量和较高密度)之间的分子气体质量(平均密度)差异可能是导致不同恒星形成活动的原因。结合我们之前的研究,NGC 1300 棒中恒星形成抑制的主要原因是在低质量 GMC 之间存在大量扩散分子气体和高速 CCC。
