摘要:

利用MERLIN(多元素射电链接干涉仪网络)和VLBI(甚长基线干涉测量)对星暴星系M82的观测,给出了36个离散源在1.7 GHz分辨率下的图像。在这36个来源中,32个被确定为超新星遗迹,2个是HII区域,3个仍然未分类。给出了所有探测到的源的大小、通量密度和射电亮度。此外,该项目的全球VLBI数据被用于对四个最紧凑的射电源进行成像。这些数据提供了这些源的VLBI观测的第五个时期,覆盖了19年的时间线。特别讨论了最年轻的超新星遗迹之一43.31+59.3的持续膨胀。减速参数是一个幂律指数,用来表示超新星遗迹大小的时间演化。对于源43.31+59.3,基于该源的年龄下限,计算出减速参数的下限为0.53+/-0.06。

英文摘要:

From a combination of MERLIN (Multi-Element Radio-Linked Interferometer Network) and global VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) observations of the starburst galaxy M82, images of 36 discrete sources at resolutions ranging from ~3 to ~80 mas at 1.7 GHz are presented. Of these 36 sources, 32 are identified as supernova remnants, 2 are HII regions, and 3 remain unclassified. Sizes, flux densities and radio brightnesses are given for all of the detected sources. Additionally, global VLBI only data from this project are used to image four of the most compact radio sources. These data provide a fifth epoch of VLBI observations of these sources, covering a 19-yr time-line. In particular, the continued expansion of one of the youngest supernova remnants, 43.31+59.3 is discussed. The deceleration parameter is a power-law index used to represent the time evolution of the size of a supernova remnant. For the source 43.31+59.3, a lower limit to the deceleration parameter is calculated to be 0.53+/-0.06, based on a lower limit of the age of this source.
