摘要:

星系中星际介质的分子相为理解恒星形成过程以及恒星反馈如何影响某些星系的核活动提供了基本的见解。我们在这里提出的大型毫米望远镜光谱获得的红移搜索接收器,同时覆盖3毫米波段从74至111 GHz的光谱分辨率约为100公里/秒的摄谱仪。在HCN中观测到的星系有不同程度的核活动,一个正常星系(NGC 6946),星暴原型(M 82)和两个超亮红外星系(ULIRGs,IRAS 17208-0014和Mrk 231)。我们将我们的数据绘制在HCO+/HCN与HCN/13 CO诊断图中,发现NGC 6946和M 82靠近其他正常星系; IRAS 17208-0014和Mrk 231都靠近Snell等人(2011)报道的著名ULIRG Arp 220的位置。我们发现,在Mrk 231 --一个具有众所周知的活动星系核的星系--中,HCO+/HCN比率与在其他正常星系中观察到的比率相似。

英文摘要:

The molecular phase of the interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies offers fundamental insight for understanding star-formation processes and how stellar feedback affects the nuclear activity of certain galaxies. We present here Large Millimeter Telescope spectra obtained with the Redshift Search Receiver, a spectrograph that cover simultaneously the 3 mm band from 74 to 111 GHz with a spectral resolution of around 100 km/s. The observed galaxies that have been detected previously in HCN, have different degrees of nuclear activity, one normal galaxy (NGC 6946), the starburst prototype (M 82) and two ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs, IRAS 17208-0014 and Mrk 231). We plotted our data in the HCO+/HCN vs. HCN/13CO diagnostic diagram finding that NGC 6946 and M 82 are located close to other normal galaxies; and that both IRAS 17208-0014 and Mrk 231 are close to the position of the well known ULIRG Arp 220 reported by Snell et al. (2011). We found that in Mrk 231 -- a galaxy with a well known active galactic nucleus -- the HCO+/HCN ratio is similar to the ratio observed in other normal galaxies.
