摘要:

类星体B 0218 +357是研究最多的透镜系统之一,它的视线拦截了一个z=0.68的螺旋星系,它将其图像分成两个主要的组成部分A和B,分开约100米。0.3“,并产生分子吸收。虽然已经表明主要吸收分量出现在图像A的前面,但还不能确定来自其他速度分量的一些吸收是否也出现在图像B的前面。为了解决这个问题,我们已经观察到HCO+(2-1)的吸收线在调试阶段的新的非常扩展的配置的高原德布雷干涉仪,以跟踪作为频率的函数的吸收的位置。自校准数据的可见性拟合使我们能够实现每个速度分量约12到80质量之间的位置精度。我们的结果清楚地表明,HCO+(2-1)吸收的所有不同的速度分量都出现在类星体的西南图像A的前面。我们估计通量比fA/fB = 4.2(-1.0;+1.8在106 GHz。

英文摘要:

The line of sight to the quasar B0218+357, one of the most studied lensed systems, intercepts a z=0.68 spiral galaxy, which splits its image into two main components A and B, separated by ca. 0.3'', and gives rise to molecular absorption. Although the main absorption component has been shown to arise in front of image A, it is not established whether some absorption from other velocity components is also occuring in front of image B. To tackle this question, we have observed the HCO+(2-1) absorption line during the commissioning phase of the new very extended configuration of the Plateau de Bure Interferometer, in order to trace the position of the absorption as a function of frequency. Visibility fitting of the self-calibrated data allowed us to achieve position accuracy between ~12 and 80 mas per velocity component. Our results clearly demonstrate that all the different velocity components of the HCO+(2-1) absorption arise in front of the south-west image A of the quasar. We estimate a flux ratio fA/fB = 4.2 (-1.0;+1.8 at 106 GHz.
