摘要:

普朗克巡天提供了前所未有的全天空覆盖银河系尘埃亚毫米偏振辐射,对尘埃的性质带来了新的限制。普朗克在亚毫米波段看到的尘埃颗粒发出的辐射,在可见光波段也会熄灭和遮蔽星光。通过比较恒星探测到的选定视线上的发射偏振和星际偏振,可以对尘埃的发射和光散射特性进行独特的新诊断。利用星际偏振和星光消光的辅助星表,我们得到了偏振度$p_V$和恒星在V波段的光学深度$τ_V$。对于这些恒星,我们测量亚毫米极化强度,$P_S$,和总强度,$I_S$,在普朗克353 GHz的通道。对于那些视线通过扩散星际介质的估计列密度和偏振方向接近正交的可比值,我们相关的属性在亚毫米和可见找到两个比率,$R_{S/V} = (P_S/I_S)/(p_V/τ_V)$和$R_{P/p} = P_S/p_V$,后者直接集中在单独的排列晶粒人口的偏振特性。我们发现$R_{S/V}$ = 4.2,统计和系统的不确定性分别为0.2和0.3,和$R_{P/p}$ = 5.4兆焦耳sr $^{-1}$,不确定性分别为0.2和0.3兆焦耳sr $^{-1}$。我们的估计$R_{S/V}$是兼容的预测的基础上的一系列偏振尘埃模型,已开发的弥漫星际介质。然而,我们对$R_{P/p}$的估计值与预测值不一致,预测值太低,大约为2.5倍。这种更具鉴别力的诊断,$R_{P/p}$,表明需要改变对准晶粒群模型中的光学性质。

英文摘要:

The Planck survey provides unprecedented full-sky coverage of the submillimetre polarized emission from Galactic dust, bringing new constraints on the properties of dust. The dust grains that emit the radiation seen by Planck in the submillimetre also extinguish and polarize starlight in the visible. Comparison of the polarization of the emission and of the interstellar polarization on selected lines of sight probed by stars provides unique new diagnostics of the emission and light scattering properties of dust. Using ancillary catalogues of interstellar polarization and extinction of starlight, we obtain the degree of polarization, $p_V$ , and the optical depth in the V band to the star, $τ_V$. Toward these stars we measure the submillimetre polarized intensity, $P_S$, and total intensity, $I_S$, in the Planck 353 GHz channel. For those lines of sight through the diffuse interstellar medium with comparable values of the estimated column density and polarization directions close to orthogonal, we correlate properties in the submillimetre and visible to find two ratios, $R_{S/V} = (P_S/I_S)/(p_V/τ_V)$ and $R_{P/p} = P_S/p_V$ , the latter focusing directly on the polarization properties of the aligned grain population alone. We find $R_{S/V}$ = 4.2, with statistical and systematic uncertainties 0.2 and 0.3, respectively, and $R_{P/p}$ = 5.4 MJy sr$^{-1}$, with uncertainties 0.2 and 0.3 MJy sr$^{-1}$, respectively. Our estimate of $R_{S/V}$ is compatible with predictions based on a range of polarizing dust models that have been developed for the diffuse interstellar medium. However, our estimate of $R_{P/p}$ is not compatible with predictions, which are too low by a factor of about 2.5. This more discriminating diagnostic, $R_{P/p}$, indicates that changes to the optical properties in the models of the aligned grain population are required.
