Gas metallicity and the dust-to-gas ratio affect the growth of H ii regions through metal line cooling and UV absorption. Models show that radiation pressure can dominate over gas pressure locally and that UV absorption can hinder growth more than radiation pressure helps it, resulting in different ionized gas expansion velocities and affecting neutral gas expulsion.
Gas metallicity (Z) and the related dust-to-gas ratio (f(d)) can influence the growth of H ii regions via metal line cooling and ultraviolet (UV) absorption. We model these effects in star-forming regions containing massive stars. We compute stellar feedback from photoionization and radiation pressure (RP) using Monte Carlo radiative transfer coupled with hydrodynamics, including stellar and diffuse radiation fields. We follow a 105 M-circle dot turbulent cloud with Z/Z(circle dot) = 2, 1, 0.5, and 0.1, and f(d) = 0.01 Z/Z(circle dot) with a cluster-sink particle method for star formation. The models evolve for at least 1.5 Myr under feedback. Lower Z results in higher temperatures and therefore larger H II regions. For Z >= Z(circle dot), RP (P-rad) can dominate locally over the gas pressure (P-gas) in the inner half-parsec around sink particles. Globally, the ratio of P-rad/P-gas is around 1 (2 Z(circle dot)), 0.3 (Z(circle dot)), 0.1 (0.5 Z(circle dot)), and 0.03 (0.1 Z(circle dot)). In the solar model, excluding RP results in an ionized volume several times smaller than the fiducial model with both mechanisms. Excluding RP and UV attenuation by dust results in a larger ionized volume than the fiducial case. That is, UV absorption hinders growth more than RP helps it. The radial expansion velocity of ionized gas reaches +15 km s(-1) outwards, while neutral gas has inward velocities for most of the runtime, except for 0.1 Z(circle dot) that exceeds +4 km s(-1). Z and f(d) do not significantly alter the star formation efficiency, rate, or cluster half-mass radius, with the exception of 0.1 Z(circle dot) due to the earlier expulsion of neutral gas.
