摘要:

在普朗克卫星偏振定标的框架下,我们研究了蟹状星云60多年来的光谱能量分布(SED),频率范围从1到$\rm 10^6 GHz$。普朗克卫星任务观测30至857 GHz的天空,因此我们将重点放在毫米区域。我们使用无线电和亚毫米波数据从WMAP卫星之间的23和94 GHz(从13至3.18毫米)和Archeops气球实验之间的143(2.1毫米)和545 GHz(0.55毫米),和其他蟹状星云观测的纲要。螃蟹SED相比,包括三个主要组成部分的模型:同步加速器,负责在低和高频率的排放,灰尘,解释了过量的通量观测到的红外天文卫星和毫米制度的一个额外的组件。从这个分析中,我们得出结论,蟹状星云在微波和毫米波波长的非偏振发射是相同的同步辐射,在无线电域中观察到的。因此,我们预计蟹状星云的毫米辐射与射电辐射的偏振度和方向相同。我们设置上限的可能引起的误差的任何毫米额外的组件上的重建的程度和角度的偏振在百分比水平作为最大值。这一结果有力地支持了普朗克合作的蟹状星云发射的选择,用于在30(299 mm)至353 GHz(0.849 mm)的范围内进行偏振交叉检查。

英文摘要:

Whithin the framework of the Planck satellite polarisation calibration, we present a study of the Crab Nebula spectral energy distribution (SED) over more than 6 decades in frequency ranging from 1 to $\rm 10^6 GHz$. The Planck satellite mission observes the sky from 30 to 857 GHz and therefore we focus on the millimetre region. We use radio and submillimetre data from the WMAP satellite between 23 and 94 GHz (from 13 to 3.18 mm) and from the Archeops balloon experiment between 143 (2.1 mm) and 545 GHz (0.55 mm), and a compendium of other Crab Nebula observations. The Crab SED is compared to models including three main components : synchrotron which is responsible for the emission at low and at high frequencies, dust which explains the excess of flux observed by the IRAS satellite and an extra component on the millimetre regime. From this analysis we conclude that the unpolarised emission of the Crab Nebula at microwave and millimetre wavelengths is the same synchrotron emission that the one observed in the radio domain. Therefore, we expect the millimetre emission of the Crab nebula to be polarised with the same degree of polarisation and orientation than the radio emission. We set upper limits on the possible errors induced by any millimetre extra component on the reconstruction of the degree and angle of polarisation at the percent level as a maximum. This result strongly supports the choice by the Planck collaboration of the Crab nebula emission for performing polarisation cross-checks in the range 30 (299 mm) to 353 GHz (0.849 mm).
