摘要:

我们目前的观察,在H 53阿尔法线和无线电连续在43 GHz进行的VLA在D阵列(2“角分辨率)对星爆星系NGC 5253。VLA档案数据已被重新处理,以产生一个统一的2,1.3和0.7厘米高的角度(0。“2 × 0”“1)无线电连续谱图像。RRL H53 α,以前报告的测量H92 α RRL通量密度和再处理的高角分辨率无线电连续通量密度已被建模使用的HII区域的集合。根据这些模型,核源中电离气体的电子密度约为6 × 10^4 cm^-3,体积填充因子为0.05。莱曼连续谱的光子产生率为2 × 10^52 s^-1,这是维持核区域电离所必需的。在这个超级星云中央1.5 pc的范围内,所需的O 7恒星数量约为2000颗。H53 α的速度梯度为10 km s^-1 arcsec^-1),这意味着其动力学质量约为3 × 10^5 Msun;这一质量表明该超星云受到引力的限制。

英文摘要:

We present observations in the H53alpha line and radio continuum at 43 GHz carried out with the VLA in the D array (2'' angular resolution) toward the starburst galaxy NGC 5253. VLA archival data have been reprocessed to produce a uniform set of 2, 1.3 and 0.7 cm high angular (0.''2 X 0.''1) radio continuum images. The RRL H53alpha, a previously reported measurement of the H92alpha RRL flux density and the reprocessed high angular resolution radio continuum flux densities have been modeled using a collection of HII regions. Based on the models, the ionized gas in the nuclear source has an electron density of ~6 X 10^4 cm^-3 and an volume filling factor of 0.05. A Lyman continuum photon production rate of 2 X 10^52 s^-1 is necessary to sustain the ionization in the nuclear region. The number of required O7 stars in the central 1.5 pc of the supernebula is ~ 2000. The H53alpha velocity gradient 10 km s^-1 arcsec^-1) implies a dynamical mass of ~3X10^5 Msun; this mass suggests the supernebula is confined by gravity.
