再生射电星系4C29.30中的HI气体

HI gas in the rejuvenated radio galaxy 4C29.30

摘要:

本文报道了用巨米波射电望远镜(GMRT)观测再生射电星系4C29.30(J0840 + 2949)中心区HI吸收的结果。射电源具有扩散的、扩展的发射,角尺寸为$\sim$ 520弧秒(639千秒差距),其中嵌入了尺寸为29弧秒(36千秒差距)的紧凑的边缘增亮的双叶源。朝向内双分子中心分量的吸收轮廓得到了很好的解析,由六个分量组成;除了其中一个分量之外,所有分量似乎相对于光学系统速度都发生了红移。中性氢柱密度估计为$N$(HI)= 4.7 $\times10^{21}$($T_s$/100)($f_c$/1.0)cm $^{-2}$,其中$T_s$和$f_c$分别为背景源的自旋温度和覆盖因子。这一发现加强了HI吸收的发生和早期建议的放射性活动的复兴之间的强相关性,红移气体可能正在为最近的活动提供燃料。

英文摘要:

We report the results of our observations of HI absorption towards the central region of the rejuvenated radio galaxy 4C29.30 (J0840+2949) with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The radio source has diffuse, extended emission with an angular size of $\sim$520 arcsec (639 kpc) within which a compact edge-brightened double-lobed source with a size of 29 arcsec (36 kpc) is embedded. The absorption profile which is seen towards the central component of the inner double is well resolved and consists of six components; all but one of which appears to be red-shifted relative to the optical systemic velocity. The neutral hydrogen column density is estimated to be $N$(HI)=4.7$\times10^{21}$($T_s$/100)($f_c$/1.0) cm$^{-2}$, where $T_s$ and $f_c$ are the spin temperature and covering factor of the background source respectively. This detection reinforces a strong correlation between the occurrence of HI absorption and rejuvenation of radio activity suggested earlier, with the possibility that the red-shifted gas is fuelling the recent activity.
