摘要:

我们使用野边山射电天文台(NRO)45米射电望远镜在3毫米波段对银河系环核盘(CND)和Sgr A* 进行了无偏谱线测量。目标位置是CND的两个切点和Sgr A* 的方向。我们获得了三个宽带光谱,覆盖频率范围从81.3 GHz到115.8 GHz,检测到46个分子线,包括10个稀有同位素和4个氢复合线的30种。每条谱线都由来自CND、+50 km/s和+20 km/s云(GMC)以及前景旋臂的多个速度分量组成。我们定义的具体速度范围,代表CND和GMC向每个方向,并将检测到的线分为三类:CND-/GMC-/HBD型,根据线强度集成在定义的速度范围。CND型和GMC型分别是主要追踪CND和GMC的品系。HBD型具有CND-/GMC型的两个特征。我们还提出了线强度和其他参数的列表,以及强度比,这必须是有用的,以调查我们的银河系和其他星系的核环境之间的差异。

英文摘要:

We have performed unbiased spectral line surveys at 3 mm band toward the Galactic circumnuclear disk (CND) and Sgr A* using the Nobeyama Radio Observatory (NRO) 45 m radio telescope. The target positions are two tangential points of the CND and the direction of Sgr A*. We have obtained three wide-band spectra which cover the frequency range from 81.3 GHz to 115.8 GHz, detecting 46 molecular lines from 30 species including 10 rare isotopomers and four hydrogen recombination lines. Each line profile consists of multiple velocity components which arise from the CND, +50 km/s and +20 km/s clouds (GMCs), and the foreground spiral arms. We define the specific velocity ranges which represent the CND and the GMCs toward each direction, and classify the detected lines into three categories: the CND-/GMC-/HBD-types, based on the line intensities integrated over the defined velocity ranges. The CND- and GMC-types are the lines which mainly trace the CND and the GMCs, respectively. The HBD-type possesses the both characteristics of the CND-/GMC-types. We also present the lists of line intensities and other parameters, as well as intensity ratios, which must be useful to investigate the difference between nuclear environments of our Galaxy and of others.
