摘要:

以[S II]/H $α$ $\geq$ 0.4为基本标准,我们在M74中确定了9个新的SNR候选者。我们得到[S II]/H $α$的比值在0.40至0.91的范围内,H $α$的强度在2.8 $\times$ $10^{-15}$ erg cm $^{-2}$ s $^{-1}$至1.7 $\times$ $10^{-14}$ erg cm $^{-2}$ s $^{-1}$之间。我们还提出了SNR候选者的光谱跟踪观测,并且只能确认其中的三个(SNR 2,SNR 3和SNR 5)。其余的缺乏确认可能是由于附近的H II发射区的污染,以及由于这些物体上的长缝定位不准确。此外,我们搜索$Chandra$天文台的档案数据的X射线对应的光学确定的候选人。我们发现只有三个SNR候选者,SNR 1,SNR 2和SNR 8的位置重合。SNR 2的光谱产生的冲击温度为10.8 keV的电离时标为1.6 $\times$ 10 $^{10}$ s cm $^{-3}$表明一个相对年轻的残余物在早期的Sedov阶段,这是不支持我们的光波长分析。考虑到10 $^{39}$ erg s $^{-1}$的高亮度和X射线光谱的特性,我们倾向于对与SNR相关的该源进行超高亮度X射线源解释。我们计算出其余SNR(包括光谱鉴定的SNR 3和SNR 5)的X射线通量上限为9.0 $\times$ $10^{-15}$ erg cm $^{-2}$ s $^{-1}$。

英文摘要:

We have identified nine new SNR candidates in M74 with [S II]/H$α$ $\geq$ 0.4 as the basic criterion. We obtain [S II]/H$α$ ratio in the range from 0.40 to 0.91 and H$α$ intensities from 2.8 $\times$ $10^{-15}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ to 1.7 $\times$ $10^{-14}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. We also present spectral follow-up observations of the SNR candidates and can confirm only three of them (SNR2, SNR3, and SNR5). The lack of confirmation for the rest might be due to the contamination by the nearby H II emission regions as well as due to the inaccurate positioning of the long slit on these objects. In addition, we search the $Chandra$ Observatory archival data for the X-ray counterparts to the optically identified candidates. We find positional coincidence with only three SNR candidates, SNR1, SNR2, and SNR8. The spectrum of SNR2 yields a shock temperature of 10.8 keV with an ionization timescale of 1.6 $\times$ 10$^{10}$ s cm$^{-3}$ indicating a relatively young remnant in an early Sedov phase which is not supported by our optical wavelength analysis. Given the high luminosity of 10$^{39}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and the characteristics of the X-ray spectrum, we favor an Ultra Luminous X-ray Source interpretation for this source associated with an SNR. We calculate an X-ray flux upper limit of 9.0 $\times$ $10^{-15}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ for the rest of the SNRs including spectroscopically identified SNR3 and SNR5.
