微波霾中射电泡性质的识别

Identifying the Radio Bubble Nature of the Microwave Haze

Gregory Dobler

摘要:

使用威尔金森微波各向异性探测器的7年数据,我在高银河系纬度(35度< |b| < 55度)的微波霾中识别出一个尖锐的“边缘”,它在空间上与“费米霾/气泡”的边缘重合。这一发现最终证明了伽马射线的边缘是真实存在的(而不是加工伪像),明确地证明了微波雾和伽马射线气泡确实是在多个波长处观察到的相同结构,并强烈支持将微波霾解释为银河系同步加速器的一个独立组成部分(可能由瞬态事件产生),而不是圆盘同步加速器的光谱指数的简单变化。此外,通过利用逆康普顿伽马射线主要由CMB光子在这些纬度处的散射产生的事实,组合这些数据集允许使用微波和伽马射线首次确定无线电泡内的磁场,从而最小化目标辐射场的不确定性。假设均匀的体积发射率,我发现我们的银河微波/伽马射线气泡内的磁场是~5 μ G以上6千秒差距的银河平面。

英文摘要:

Using 7-year data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe I identify a sharp "edge" in the microwave haze at high Galactic latitude (35 deg < |b| < 55 deg) that is spatially coincident with the edge of the "Fermi Haze/Bubbles". This finding proves conclusively that the edge in the gamma-rays is real (and not a processing artifact), demonstrates explicitly that the microwave haze and the gamma-ray bubbles are indeed the same structure observed at multiple wavelengths, and strongly supports the interpretation of the microwave haze as a separate component of Galactic synchrotron (likely generated by a transient event) as opposed to a simple variation of the spectral index of disk synchrotron. In addition, combining these data sets allows for the first determination of the magnetic field within a radio bubble using microwaves and gamma-rays by taking advantage of the fact that the inverse Compton gamma-rays are primarily generated by scattering of CMB photons at these latitudes, thus minimizing uncertainty in the target radiation field. Assuming uniform volume emissivity, I find that the magnetic field within our Galactic microwave/gamma-ray bubbles is ~5 muG above 6 kpc off of the Galactic plane.
