朝向银河系中心区域的河外源

Extragalactic sources towards the central region of the Galaxy

Subhashis Roy, A. Pramesh Rao, Ravi Subrahmanyan

摘要:

为了研究银河系中心(GC)附近的法拉第旋转测量,我们对银河系中心-6度< l< 6度,-2度< b < 2度的64个小直径源进行了观测。使用ATCA和VLA在6和3.6 cm波长处观察所有源。其中59个来源被推断为河外的。这里提出的意见构成了第一个系统的研究无线电偏振特性的背景源朝向这个方向,并增加了已知的河外射电源在这部分天空的数量几乎一个数量级。基于形态,光谱指数和偏振发射的缺乏,我们确定了四个银河系HII区域的样品。

英文摘要:

We have observed a sample of 64 small diameter sources towards the central -6 degree < l< 6 degree, -2 degree < b < 2 degree of the Galaxy with the aim of studying the Faraday rotation measure near the Galactic Centre (GC) region. All the sources were observed at 6 and 3.6 cm wavelengths using the ATCA and the VLA. Fifty nine of these sources are inferred to be extragalactic. The observations presented here constitute the first systematic study of the radio polarisation properties of the background sources towards this direction and increases the number of known extragalactic radio sources in this part of the sky by almost an order of magnitude. Based on the morphology, spectral indices and lack of polarised emission, we identify four Galactic HII regions in the sample.
