人马座B的非热辐射

Non-thermal Emission in Sagittarius B?

Cornelia C. Lang, Patrick Palmer, W. M. Goss

摘要:

我们总结了三个最近的出版物,这些出版物表明银河系中心区域人马座B(Sgr B)可能包含非热射电成分(Crocker et al. 2007,Hollis et al. 2007和Yusef-Zadeh et al. 2007 a)。基于327 MHz和1.4 GHz的新VLA匹配分辨率连续数据,我们没有发现在这些频率下大规模非热无线电发射的证据;频谱行为可能是由多个HII区域分量的复杂总和决定的,这些分量具有广泛的发射测量范围,因此无线电翻转频率。此外,我们讨论了一个可能的额外的解释的无线电连续谱的单个组件Sgr B2-F进行的Yusef-Zadeh等人;附近的HII组件与广泛不同的翻转频率的混乱可能有助于在这个方向上的无线电连续谱的斜率在低频率的变化。最后,我们讨论的不确定性,在确定的GBT连续数据的Sgr B的霍利斯等人进行的光谱指数。我们发现,由他们的程序确定的表观光谱指数也可能是由于在这个方向上的许多不同的热分量的总和。

英文摘要:

We summarize three recent publications which suggest that the Galactic center region Sagittarius B (Sgr B) may contain non-thermal radio components (Crocker et al. 2007, Hollis et al. 2007 and Yusef-Zadeh et al. 2007a). Based on new VLA matched-resolution continuum data at 327 MHz and 1.4 GHz, we find no evidence for large scale non-thermal radio emission at these frequencies; the spectral behavior is likely determined by the complex summation of multiple HII region components with a wide range of emission measures and hence radio turn-over frequencies. Also, we discuss a possible additional interpretation of the radio continuum spectrum of individual component Sgr B2-F carried out by Yusef-Zadeh et al; confusion from nearby HII components with widely different turn-over frequencies may contribute to the the change in slope of the radio continuum in this direction at low frequencies. Finally, we discuss the uncertainties in the determination of the spectral index of the GBT continuum data of Sgr B carried out by Hollis et al. We find that the apparent spectral index determined by their procedure is also likely due to a summation over the many diverse thermal components in this direction.
