螺旋星系NGC 2903超新星遗迹的光学搜索

摘要:

我们提出了一个光学搜索超新星遗迹(SNRs)在附近的螺旋星系NGC 2903的结果。干涉滤光片图像和光谱数据是在2005年3月用f/7.7 1.5米的俄罗斯土耳其望远镜(RTT 150)在土耳其国家天文台(TUG)。光谱数据是用6米BTA(Bolshoi方位角望远镜,俄罗斯)获得的。我们使用的SNR识别标准包括构建连续减影H $α$和连续减影[SII] $λ$ $λ$ 6716、6731图像及其比值。在NGC 2903中鉴定了5个SNR候选者,其中[SII]/H $α$比率范围为0.41 - 0.74,H $α$强度范围为9.4 $\times10^{-15}$至1.7 $\times10^{-14}$尔格cm $^{-2}$ s $^{-1}$。这项工作代表了第一次在NGC 2903中通过光学测量识别SNR。我们提出了一个明亮的候选人的光谱,并推导出[SII]/H $α$发射线比为0.42这个源。此外,在该SNR的光谱中,弱的[OIII] $λ$ 5007/H $β$发射线比率指示具有低传播速度的旧的缺氧残留物。

英文摘要:

We present the results of an optical search for supernova remnants (SNRs) in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2903. Interference filter images and spectral data were taken in March 2005 with the f/7.7 1.5 m Russian Turkish Telescope (RTT150) at TUBITAK National Observatory (TUG). Spectral data were obtained with the 6 m BTA (Bolshoi Azimuthal Telescope, Russia). We used the SNR identification criterion that consists of constructing the continuum-subtracted H$α$ and continuum-subtracted [SII]$λ$$λ$6716,6731 images and their ratios. Five SNR candidates were identified in NGC 2903 with [SII]/H$α$ ratios ranging from 0.41 - 0.74 and H$α$ intensities ranging from 9.4$\times10^{-15}$ to 1.7$\times10^{-14}$ ergs cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. This work represents the first identification of SNRs by an optical survey in NGC 2903. We present the spectrum of one of the bright candidates and derive an [SII]/H$α$ emission line ratio of 0.42 for this source. In addition, the weak [OIII]$λ$5007/H$β$ emission line ratio in the spectrum of this SNR indicates an old oxygen-deficient remnant with a low propagation velocity.
