利用无线电极化探测大尺度结构内的磁场

Detecting Magnetic Fields in Large-Scale Structure with Radio Polarization

Shea Brown, Lawrence Rudnick, Damon Farnsworth

摘要:

我们尝试通过观测结构形成激波产生的偏振同步辐射来探测非连续大尺度结构(LSS)中的磁场。在最大的星系团之外,人们对磁场的强度和顺序知之甚少,而同步辐射作为探测这些低密度区域磁场的一种手段,有着巨大的希望。我们报告的意见,在绿岸望远镜揭示了一个可能的Mpc扩展后发座星系团遗迹。我们还强调了扩散星系前景发射对任何大规模,低表面亮度河外发射搜索构成的主要障碍。最后,我们探讨了互相关的漫射无线电发射与光示踪剂的LSS作为一种手段,统计检测磁场在存在这种混淆的前景发射。

英文摘要:

We present our attempts to detect magnetic fields in filamentary large-scale structure (LSS) by observing polarized synchrotron emission emitted by structure formation shocks. Little is known about the strength and order of magnetic fields beyond the largest clusters of galaxies, and synchrotron emission holds enormous promise as a means of probing magnetic fields in these low density regions. We report on observations taken at the Green Bank Telescope which reveal a possible Mpc extension to the Coma cluster relic. We also highlight the major obstacle that diffuse galactic foreground emission poses for any search for large-scale, low surface-brightness extragalactic emission. Finally we explore cross-correlation of diffuse radio emission with optical tracers of LSS as a means to statistically detecting magnetic fields in the presence of this confounding foreground emission.
