半相关微波辐射中旋转尘埃的识别

Identification of Spinning Dust in Halpha-Correlated Microwave Emission

Gregory Dobler, Douglas P. Finkbeiner

摘要:

宇宙微波背景实验通常使用α强度图作为银河系自由-自由辐射的空间模板,假设光谱的幂律为I_nu \propto nu^-0.15。任何偏离假定的自由-自由光谱的情况都可能对确定主CMB各向异性产生不利影响。我们表明,在扩散的暖电离介质(WIM)中的Halalpha相关的发射光谱是不是预期的自由-自由光谱在WMAP频率。相反,在~50 GHz的频谱中有一个宽的凸起,这与旋转尘埃颗粒的发射一致。来自全天空和较小区域的光谱与自由-自由和WIM Draine & Lazarian(1998)旋转尘埃模型的叠加很好地拟合,频率发生了变化。在50 GHz下,旋转尘埃发射比自由-自由分量弱约5倍,零假设Halpha-correlated光谱是纯自由-自由的,在所有区域>8 sigma和全天空拟合>100 sigma时排除。

英文摘要:

CMB experiments commonly use maps of Halpha intensity as a spatial template for Galactic free-free emission, assuming a power law I_nu \propto nu^-0.15 for the spectrum. Any departure from the assumed free-free spectrum could have a detrimental effect on determination of the primary CMB anisotropy. We show that the Halpha-correlated emission spectrum in the diffuse warm ionized medium (WIM) is not the expected free-free spectrum at WMAP frequencies. Instead, there is a broad bump in the spectrum at ~50 GHz which is consistent with emission from spinning dust grains. Spectra from both the full sky and smaller regions of interest are well fit by a superposition of a free-free and WIM Draine & Lazarian (1998) spinning dust model, shifted in frequency. The spinning dust emission is ~5 times weaker than the free-free component at 50 GHz, with the null hypothesis that the Halpha-correlated spectrum is pure free-free, ruled out at >8 sigma in all regions and >100 sigma for the full sky fit.
