摘要:

Odin卫星已被用于搜索银河系中心118.75 GHz的分子氧(O2)谱线。Odin卫星利用位置转换模式对Sgr A* 环核盘(CND)和Sgr A +20 km/s和+50 km/s分子云进行了观测。使用ARO Kitt Peak 12米望远镜在2毫米波段进行了补充地面观测,以检查可疑的SiC特征。在118.27 GHz处发现了一条强发射线,可归因于J=13-12 HC 3 N线。上限为118.75-GHz的O2(1,1 - 1,0)地面过渡线和118.11-GHz的3 Pi 2,J=3-2基态SiC线在银河系中心。还给出了Sgr A +50 km/s云中487-GHz O2谱线和Sgr A +20和+50 km/s云中157-GHz,J=4-3,SiC谱线以及CND的上限。在+20和+50 km/s的云层中检测到157.2 - 157.3 GHz的CH_3OH线复合体,但没有朝向Sgr A*/CND。[O_2]/[H_2]丰度比的3 σ上限为X(O_2)< 1.2 × 10 exp(-7)。

英文摘要:

The Odin satellite has been used to search for the 118.75-GHz line of molecular oxygen (O2)in the Galactic centre. Odin observations were performed towards the Sgr A* circumnuclear disk (CND), and the Sgr A +20 km/s and +50 km/s molecular clouds using the position-switching mode. Supplementary ground-based observations were carried out in the 2-mm band using the ARO Kitt Peak 12-m telescope to examine suspected SiC features. A strong emission line was found at 118.27 GHz, attributable to the J=13-12 HC3N line. Upper limits are presented for the 118.75-GHz O2 (1,1-1,0) ground transition line and for the 118.11-GHz 3Pi2, J=3-2 ground state SiC line at the Galactic centre. Upper limits are also presented for the 487-GHz O2 line in the Sgr A +50 km/s cloud and for the 157-GHz, J=4-3, SiC line in the Sgr A +20 and +50 km/s clouds, as well as the CND. The CH3OH line complex at 157.2 - 157.3 GHz has been detected in the +20 and +50 km/s clouds but not towards Sgr A*/CND. A 3-sigma upper limit for the fractional abundance ratio of [O2]/[H2] is found to be X(O2) < 1.2 x 10exp(-7) towards the Sgr A molecular belt region.
