摘要:

作为改进的大尺度银河系磁场模型的下一步,我们提出了一个简单的比较偏振同步辐射和热尘埃辐射的银河平面。我们发现,在我们以前的模型,再现极化同步加速器的场配置是不兼容的WMAP 94 GHz的极化发射数据。特别是,外星系尘埃的高度极化(90度< l <270度)意味着尘埃发射区的场比同步辐射区的平均场更有序。这些新的尘埃信息使我们能够限制外部星系中相干和随机磁场分量的空间混合。内部星系的极化程度不同,显然需要一个比我们目前的模型更复杂的场景。在每个星际分量(包括场和现在的尘埃)都遵循螺旋臂调制的情况下,正如在外部星系中观察到的那样,尘埃发射区域中场的有序程度的变化可能意味着尘埃臂和场分量臂发生了移动作为银河系中心半径的变化函数。我们讨论的影响如何螺旋臂压缩影响的磁化星际介质的各个组成部分,但得出的结论是,改进的数据,如预期从普朗克卫星将需要进行彻底的分析。

英文摘要:

As the next step toward an improved large scale Galactic magnetic field model, we present a simple comparison of polarised synchrotron and thermal dust emission on the Galactic plane. We find that the field configuration in our previous model that reproduces the polarised synchrotron is not compatible with the WMAP 94 GHz polarised emission data. In particular, the high degree of dust polarisation in the outer Galaxy (90deg < l < 270deg) implies that the fields in the dust-emitting regions are more ordered than the average of synchrotron-emitting regions. This new dust information allows us to constrain the spatial mixing of the coherent and random magnetic field components in the outer Galaxy. The inner Galaxy differs in polarisation degree and apparently requires a more complicated scenario than our current model. In the scenario that each interstellar component (including fields and now dust) follows a spiral arm modulation, as observed in external galaxies, the changing degree of ordering of the fields in dust-emitting regions may imply that the dust arms and the field component arms are shifted as a varying function of Galacto-centric radius. We discuss the implications for how the spiral arm compression affects the various components of the magnetised interstellar medium but conclude that improved data such as that expected from the Planck satellite will be required for a thorough analysis.
