微弱无线电源的VLBI检测

VLBI detection of an Infrared-Faint Radio Source

摘要:

暗射电源代表了一种新的和意想不到的物体,在无线电波长下明亮,但在红外波长下异常微弱。如果像大多数mJy射电源一样,它们是本宇宙中的常规活动星系或恒星形成星系,我们预计它们可以在红外波长处被探测到,因此斯皮策太空望远镜没有探测到它们是令人惊讶的。在这里,我们报告的检测这些来源之一,使用甚长基线干涉,从我们的结论是,这些来源是由活动的银河系核。我们认为,这些来源要么是正常的射电大声类星体在高红移或异常遮蔽的射电星系。

英文摘要:

Infrared-Faint Radio Sources represent a new and unexpected class of object which is bright at radio wavelengths but unusually faint at infrared wavelengths. If, like most mJy radio sources, they were either conventional active or star-forming galaxies in the local Universe, we would expect them to be detectable at infrared wavelengths, and so their non-detection by the Spitzer Space Telescope is surprising. Here we report the detection of one of these sources using Very Long Baseline Interferometry, from which we conclude that the sources are driven by Active Galactic Nuclei. We suggest that these sources are either normal radio-loud quasars at high redshift or abnormally obscured radio galaxies.
