摘要:

我们报告的检测和成功的建模不寻常的9.7 \mum硅-O伸缩硅酸盐发射功能的1型(即面对)LINER核的M81。利用Spitzer上的红外光谱仪(IRS),我们确定M_(81)中心230秒差距的特征是强发射,峰值在~10.5 \mum。这一特征与银河系星际介质的吸收特征以及具有活跃恒星形成的星系的典型硅酸盐吸收或弱发射特征有着显著的不同。我们成功地模拟高信噪比IRS光谱与多孔硅酸盐粉尘使用实验室获得的矿物光谱。我们发现,最可能的适合使用微米级,多孔颗粒的无定形硅酸盐和石墨。除硅酸盐粉尘外,还有微弱的PAH排放(特别是在11.3 \mum,由~500- 1000个C原子的相对大的多环芳烃的C-H面外弯曲振动引起),其特征反映了活动星系核的低激发环境,一些证据表明,在核附近的~100- 200个C原子的小的多环芳烃(负责7.7 \mum C-C伸缩带)优先被破坏。(摘要继续)

英文摘要:

We report the detection and successful modeling of the unusual 9.7\mum Si--O stretching silicate emission feature in the type 1 (i.e. face-on) LINER nucleus of M81. Using the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) instrument on Spitzer, we determine the feature in the central 230 pc of M81 to be in strong emission, with a peak at ~10.5\mum. This feature is strikingly different in character from the absorption feature of the galactic interstellar medium, and from the silicate absorption or weak emission features typical of galaxies with active star formation. We successfully model the high signal-to-noise ratio IRS spectra with porous silicate dust using laboratory-acquired mineral spectra. We find that the most probable fit uses micron-sized, porous grains of amorphous silicate and graphite. In addition to silicate dust, there is weak PAH emission present (particularly at 11.3\mum, arising from the C--H out-of-plane bending vibration of relatively large PAHs of ~500--1000 C atoms) whose character reflects the low-excitation AGN environment, with some evidence that small PAHs of ~100--200 C atoms (responsible for the 7.7\mum C--C stretching band) in the immediate vicinity of the nucleus have been preferentially destroyed.
