摘要:

使用毫米/亚毫米辐射热计阵列观测尘埃排放可能受到分子线通量的污染,例如12 CO的通量。作为亚毫米波段最亮的分子谱线,CO通量对尘埃连续谱带的贡献的定量研究具有重要意义。转换因子用于将分子线积分强度转换为测辐射热计阵列检测到的通量,单位为mJy/束。计算了SCUBA-2 850 μm和450 μm波段12 CO谱线积分强度的这些因子。然后将转换因子应用于英仙座复合体中NGC 1333和猎户座B分子云复合体中NGC 2071和NGC 2024的HARP 12 CO 3-2图,以量化各自对850 μm尘埃连续谱发射的12 CO通量贡献。对具有高分子线污染的源进行了更详细的分析,以确定12 CO贡献的原因。大多数源的12 CO 3-2通量贡献低于20%.However,在分子外流区域,12 CO可以主导源尘埃连续体(高达79%的污染),12 CO通量达到\sim 68毫焦每束。

英文摘要:

Observations of the dust emission using millimetre/submillimetre bolometer arrays can be contaminated by molecular line flux, such as flux from 12CO. As the brightest molecular line in the submillimetre, it is important to quantify the contribution of CO flux to the dust continuum bands. Conversion factors were used to convert molecular line integrated intensities to flux detected by bolometer arrays in mJy per beam. These factors were calculated for 12CO line integrated intensities to the SCUBA-2 850 μm and 450 μm bands. The conversion factors were then applied to HARP 12CO 3-2 maps of NGC 1333 in the Perseus complex and NGC 2071 and NGC 2024 in the Orion B molecular cloud complex to quantify the respective 12CO flux contribution to the 850 μm dust continuum emission. Sources with high molecular line contamination were analysed in further detail for molecular outflows and heating by nearby stars to determine the cause of the 12CO contribution. The majority of sources had a 12CO 3-2 flux contribution under 20 per cent. However, in regions of molecular outflows, the 12CO can dominate the source dust continuum (up to 79 per cent contamination) with 12CO fluxes reaching \sim 68 mJy per beam.
