摘要:

大规模射电连续谱巡天具有发现新的银河系超新星遗迹(SNRs)的良好潜力。对银道面的观测通常局限于银道纬度|b| ~ 5度。高纬度地区的信噪比,如天鹅座圈或CTA~1,无法通过在如此有限的纬度地区进行调查来检测。利用乌鲁木齐6 cm银道面巡天资料,结合正在进行的6 cm中纬面巡天图,我们希望在大范围天区发现新的信噪比。利用乌鲁木齐6 cm、Effelsberg 11 cm和21 cm的观测数据,寻找壳状结构并计算射电谱。射电偏振发射和其他波长的证据也检查了信噪比的特点。在6cm的测量图上发现了一个封闭的椭圆形天体G150.3+4.5。宽约2.5度,高约3度。在11 cm、21 cm和73.5 cm的观测中,可以很好地识别部分壳结构。Effelsberg 21 cm的总强度图像类似于6 cm处看到的G150.3+4.5的大多数结构,但西北部的环并不闭合。加拿大银道巡天在21厘米和73.5厘米处拍摄的高分辨率图像证实了G150.3+4.5的东壳和西壳的延伸发射。我们计算了东、西壳层的射电连续谱指数,分别为6 cm ~ 21 cm的$β\sim -2.4$和$β\sim -2.7$。壳状结构及其非热性质强烈表明G150.3+4.5是壳型SNR。对于视场中的其他物体,G151.4+3.0和G151.2+2.6,我们确认壳状结构G151.4+3.0很可能具有SNR起源,而圆形G151.2+2.6是具有平坦无线电频谱的HII区域,与光学附属结构、H $α$和红外发射相关。

英文摘要:

Large-scale radio continuum surveys have good potential for discovering new Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs). Surveys of the Galactic plane are often limited in the Galactic latitude of |b| ~ 5 degree. SNRs at high latitudes, such as the Cygnus Loop or CTA~1, cannot be detected by surveys in such limited latitudes. Using the available Urumqi 6 cm Galactic plane survey data, together with the maps from the extended ongoing 6 cm medium latitude survey, we wish to discover new SNRs in a large sky area. We searched for shell-like structures and calculated radio spectra using the Urumqi 6 cm, Effelsberg 11 cm, and 21 cm survey data. Radio polarized emission and evidence in other wavelengths are also examined for the characteristics of SNRs. We discover an enclosed oval-shaped object G150.3+4.5 in the 6 cm survey map. It is about 2.5 degree wide and 3 degree high. Parts of the shell structures can be identified well in the 11 cm, 21 cm, and 73.5 cm observations. The Effelsberg 21 cm total intensity image resembles most of the structures of G150.3+4.5 seen at 6 cm, but the loop is not closed in the northwest. High resolution images at 21 cm and 73.5 cm from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey confirm the extended emission from the eastern and western shells of G150.3+4.5. We calculated the radio continuum spectral indices of the eastern and western shells, which are $β\sim -2.4$ and $β\sim -2.7$ between 6 cm and 21 cm, respectively. The shell-like structures and their non-thermal nature strongly suggest that G150.3+4.5 is a shell-type SNR. For other objects in the field of view, G151.4+3.0 and G151.2+2.6, we confirm that the shell-like structure G151.4+3.0 very likely has a SNR origin, while the circular-shaped G151.2+2.6 is an HII region with a flat radio spectrum, associated with optical filamentary structure, H$α$, and infrared emission.
