Central free-free-dominated 880 $\micron$ emission in II Zw 40

Hiroyuki Hirashita

摘要:

用亚毫米阵列(SMA)在340 GHz($880 \micron$)波段以$\sim 5$角秒(250 pc)分辨率观测了一个蓝色致密矮星系II Zw 40的中心恒星形成区。探测到一个与中心恒星形成复合体有关的源,其通量为$13.6\pm 2.0$ mJy。结构在东西方向上比梁延伸得更多。SMA 880 $\micron$通量的分析使用的无线电频谱能量分布的理论模型,以及厘米干涉测量的文献。我们发现(i)SMA 880 $\micron$通量主要由来自中心致密恒星形成区的自由-自由发射($\sim 75$百分比),以及(ii)尘埃发射对SMA 880 $\micron$通量的贡献最多为$4\pm 2.5$ mJy。我们还利用我们的模型来获得无线电FIR关系的II Zw 40中心,这表明在低频率($ν\la$几GHz的自由吸收; $λ\ga$几厘米)和空间范围的灰尘影响无线电FIR关系。

英文摘要:

The central star-forming region in a blue compact dwarf galaxy, II Zw 40, was observed in the 340 GHz ($880 \micron$) band at $\sim 5$ arcsec (250 pc) resolution with the Submillimetre Array (SMA). A source associated with the central star-forming complex was detected with a flux of $13.6\pm 2.0$ mJy. The structure is more extended than the beam in the east-west direction. The SMA 880 $\micron$ flux is analyzed by using theoretical models of radio spectral energy distribution along with centimetre interferometric measurements in the literature. We find (i) that the SMA 880 $\micron$ flux is dominated ($\sim 75$ per cent) by free-free emission from the central compact star-forming region, and (ii) that the contribution from dust emission to the SMA 880 $\micron$ flux is at most $4\pm 2.5$ mJy. We also utilize our models to derive the radio--FIR relation of the II Zw 40 centre, suggesting that free-free absorption at low frequencies ($ν\la$ several GHz; $λ\ga$ several cm) and spatial extent of dust affect the radio-FIR relation.
