摘要:

泰山5是银河系的一个球状星团,具有显著的X射线和伽马射线辐射。在发现这个天体的扩展X射线发射之后,我们在这里探索了这个球状星团附近其他意想不到的发射特征的几个波长的档案数据。来自Effelsberg 100米望远镜的无线电数据显示,Terzan 5附近有几个扩展结构,尽管通量估计存在很大的不确定性,也没有可靠的无线电频谱指数。特别是,从泰山5向西北方向延伸的射电源可能是由这个球状星团中大量毫秒级恒星产生的长期非热电子产生的。另一个靠近泰山5的突出射电结构可能是由场O星产生的电离物质解释的。至于在Terzan 5中发现的漫射X射线辐射,其延伸似乎仅限于球状星团的2.5弧分之内,并且可用的多波长数据与逆康普顿方案兼容,但不赞成非热韧致辐射起源。

英文摘要:

Terzan 5 is a Galactic globular cluster exhibiting prominent X-ray and gamma-ray emission. Following the discovery of extended X- ray emission in this object, we explore here archival data at several wavelengths for other unexpected emission features in the vicinity of this globular cluster. Radio data from the Effelsberg 100 metre telescope show several extended structures near Terzan 5, albeit with large uncertainties in the flux estimates and no reliable radio spectral index. In particular, a radio source extending from the location of Terzan 5 to the north-west could result from long-term non-thermal electron production by the large population of milli-second pulsars in this globular cluster. Another prominent radio structure close to Terzan 5 may be explained by ionised material produced by a field O star. As for the diffuse X-ray emission found in Terzan 5, its extension appears to be limited to within 2.5 arcmin of the globular cluster and the available multi-wavelength data is compatible with an inverse Compton scenario but disfavours a non-thermal Bremsstrahlung origin.
