摘要:

射电复合线(RRL)可以用来确定沿银河平面的发射测量。我们使用深(每波束2100秒)HI Parkes回避区调查,其带宽内包括3个RRL(H $166α$、H $167α$和H $168α$)。选择区域$\ell = 36\degr$至$44\degr$、$b = -4\degr$至$+4\degr$,以包括来自本地臂、人马座臂和盾牌臂的发射。以$(\ell, b) = (40\degr, 0\degr)$为中心的$8\degr \times 8\degr$数据立方体由速度和空间分辨率分别为27 $\kms$和15.5 arcmin的RRL谱构成。众所周知的\hii地区,以及银河系平面上的弥漫RRL发射确定。在整个银道面上的积分RRL发射的银道纬度部分描绘了亮度温度($T_{b}$)分布,其在纬度上的半功率宽度为$\simeq 1\fdg5$。电子温度$T_{e} \simeq 8000$ K的值从与WMAP自由-自由MEM模型的比较中导出。根据RRL资料得到的$T_{b}$分布与WMAP的5年资料相结合,得到了银河脊上的异常尘埃。在本文中,我们证明,弥漫电离辐射的银河山脊上可以恢复使用RRL从ZOA调查。因此,这种方法能够补充\ha数据在低银河系纬度,使一个全天空自由的模板来推导。

英文摘要:

Radio recombination lines (RRLs) can be used to determine the emission measure unambiguously along the Galactic plane. We use the deep (2100s per beam) HI Parkes Zone of Avoidance survey which includes 3 RRLs (H$166α$, H$167α$ and H$168α$) within its bandwidth. The region $\ell = 36\degr$ to $44\degr$, $b = -4\degr$ to $+4\degr$ is chosen to include emission from the Local, Sagittarius and Scutum arms. An $8\degr \times 8\degr$ data cube centred at $(\ell, b) = (40\degr, 0\degr)$ is constructed of RRL spectra with velocity and spatial resolution of 27$\kms$ and 15.5 arcmin, respectively. Well-known \hii regions are identified as well as the diffuse RRL emission on the Galactic plane. A Galactic latitude section of the integrated RRL emission across the Galactic plane delineates the brightness temperature ($T_{b}$) distribution which has a half-power width in latitude of $\simeq 1\fdg5$. A value of the electron temperature $T_{e} \simeq 8000$ K is derived from a comparison with the WMAP free-free MEM model. The $T_{b}$ distribution from the present RRL data is combined with the WMAP 5-yr data to derive the anomalous dust on the Galactic ridge. In this paper we demonstrate that diffuse ionized emission on the Galactic ridge can be recovered using RRLs from the ZOA survey. This method is therefore able to complement the \ha data at low Galactic latitudes, to enable an all-sky free-free template to be derived.
