The origin of the far-infrared emission from the nearby radio galaxy M87 remains a matter of debate. Some studies find evidence of a far-infrared excess due to thermal dust emission, whereas others propose that the far-infrared emission can be explained by synchrotron emission without the need for an additional dust emission component. We observed M87 with PACS and SPIRE as part of the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS). We compare the new Herschel data with a synchrotron model based on infrared, submm and radio data to investigate the origin of the far-infrared emission. We find that both the integrated SED and the Herschel surface brightness maps are adequately explained by synchrotron emission. At odds with previous claims, we find no evidence of a diffuse dust component in M87.
Evolution of Dust Temperature of Galaxies through Cosmic Time as seen by Herschel
作为PEP和HerMES关键方案的一部分,我们研究了赫歇尔空间天文台在大天文台起源深空巡天-北领域观测到的红移范围为0.1<z<2.8的星系的尘埃性质。利用Herschel星上的PACS和SPIRE仪器获得的远红外(FIR)通量密度,拟合光谱能量分布(SED),得到星系的红外(IR)光度(L_IR)和尘埃温度(T_dust)。作为参考样本,我们还获得了<0.1 using AKARI and IRAS data in the field of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We compare the L_IR-T_dust relation between the two samples and find that: the median T_dust of Herschel-selected galaxies at z>LIR> 5 × 10 ^{10} L_ \odot的z = 0.5的本星系的红外光度和尘埃温度,比具有相似光度的AKARI选择的本星系冷2-5 K,并且由于存在本星系中所没有的冷星系,高z星系的T_dust色散随L_IR的增加而增加.我们发现,这种大的色散的L_IR-T_dust关系可以弥合本地恒星形成星系和高z亚毫米星系(SMG)之间的差距。我们还发现,本研究中的三个T_dust很低(<20 K)的SMG都有相似的2…
