摘要

We report the first detection of [C I] (~3p_1 t~3pPo) emission at 609 pm in a region of the Small Magellanic Cloud (N27). Environments poor in heavy elements and dust such as the SMC are thought to be dominated by photo- dissociation regions (PDRs). This is the lowest metallicity source where submillimeter neutral carbon emission has been detected. Studying the I_|CI|/I_co. ratio in several sources spanning more than an order of magnitude in metal1icity Z we find that the I_|CI|/I_co ratio increases for decreasing Z. The existence of such a trend points to a photodissociation origin for most of the neutral carbon in molecular clouds, in agreement with standard PDR models. We also report infrared Space Observatory farinfrared (FIR) spectroscopic observations of N27 and use them to derive its physical properties. Comparison between the density and radiation field revealed by FIR diagnostics (n ~ 300--l000 cm~-3 X_uv ~ 30Xo--l00Xo) and those derived from millimeter and submillimeter data (n ~ l0~5 cm~-3, X_uv≤ 30Xo) suggests that the FIR lines originate in more diffuse gas and are perhaps dominated by the interclump medium. Regardless of the cause, analysis of the FIR and millimetersubmillimeter data produces a discrepancy of 2 orders of magnitude for the density of this source.
