CS 5-4对邻近IR亮星系的巡天

CS 5-4 survey toward nearby IR bright galaxies

Junzhi Wang, Zhiyu Zhang, Yong Shi

摘要:

利用HHSMT对24个红外亮星系的CS5 -4谱线进行了观测,在14个星系中探测到CS5 -4辐射,其中包括12个ULIRG/LIRGs和2个邻近正常星系。CS 5-4作为一种良好的致密气体示踪剂,在研究银河系恒星形成过程中得到了很好的应用,它可以示踪星系中活跃的恒星形成气体。用探测到的CS5 - 4谱线辐射估算的CS5 -4光度与这14个星系的红外光度之间的相关系数为0.939,斜率接近1。这种相关性证实了与恒星形成密切相关的致密气体对于理解星系中的恒星形成非常重要。

英文摘要:

With the observations of the CS 5-4 line toward a sample of 24 infrared bright galaxies using HHSMT, we detected CS 5-4 emission in 14 galaxies, including 12 ULIRGs/LIRGs and 2 nearby normal galaxies. As a good dense gas tracer, which has been well used for studying star formation in the Milky Way, CS 5-4 can trace the active star forming gas in galaxies. The correlation between CS 5-4 luminosity, which is estimated with detected CS 5-4 line emission, and infrared luminosity in these 14 galaxies is fitted with correlation coefficient of 0.939 and the slope close to unity. This correlation confirmed that dense gas, which is closely linked to star formation, is very important for understanding star formation in galaxies.
