行星状星云中3.3微米PAH发射的观测

A Survey of 3.3 Micron PAH Emission in Planetary Nebulae

Erin C. D. Smith, Ian S. McLean

摘要:

结果是从一个试点调查的3.3微米多环芳烃排放行星状星云使用FLITECAM,仪器打算与SOFIA航空天文学。这些观测是在利克天文台3米沙恩望远镜上FLITECAM光谱模式的地面调试期间进行的。使用直纹KRS-5 grisms给出约1,700的分辨率(R)。目标是从IRAS,KAO和ISO来源与以前观察到的PAH排放在较长的波长。还将C/O比< 1的AGB星和PN添加到目标列表中,以测试PAH检测阈值。总共观察到20个物体。在20个观测目标中的11个中检测到PAH排放。

英文摘要:

Results are presented from a pilot survey of 3.3 micron PAH emission from planetary nebulae using FLITECAM, an instrument intended for airborne astronomy with SOFIA. The observations were made during ground-based commissioning of FLITECAM's spectroscopic mode at the 3-m Shane telescope at Lick Observatory. Direct-ruled KRS-5 grisms were used to give a resolving power (R)~1,700. Targets were selected from IRAS, KAO and ISO sources with previously observed PAH emission at longer wavelengths. AGB stars and PN with C/O ratios < 1 were also added to the target list in order to test PAH detection thresholds. In all, 20 objects were observed. PAH emission was detected in 11 out of 20 observed targets.
