1.75GHz深弥漫河外射电天

The Deep Diffuse Extragalactic Radio Sky at 1.75 GHz

T. Vernstrom, Ray P. Norris, Douglas Scott, J. V. Wall

摘要:

我们提出了一个研究的弥漫河外射电发射在$1.75\,$ GHz的ELAIS-S1领域的一部分,使用澳大利亚望远镜紧凑型阵列。得到的马赛克是$2.46\,$ deg $^2$,其中$0.61\,$ deg $^2$的大致恒定的噪声区域用于分析。该图像具有$150 \times60\,$ arcsec的光束尺寸和仪器$\langleσ_{\rm n}\rangle= (52\pm5)\, μ$ Jy光束$^{-1}$。使用点源模型从ATLAS调查,我们减去离散发射在这个领域的$S \ge 150\, μ$ Jy束$^{-1}$。将减去源的概率分布或\pd与未减去的离散发射和噪声的预测分布进行比较,产生过量的$(76 \pm 23) \, μ$ γ束$^{-1}$。以此作为任何扩展排放的上限,我们约束扩展源计数的几个模型,假设$Ω_{\rm source} \le 2\,$ arcmin。最佳拟合模型产生的无线电背景温度从扩展发射的$T_{\rm b}=(10\pm7) \,$ mK,给出了一个上限的总温度在$1.75\,$ GHz的$(73\pm10)\,$ mK。进一步的建模表明,我们的数据是不一致的,报告的过量温度的ARCADE 2 $1\, μ$ Jy的源计数限制。我们的新数据关闭了以前约束中的一个漏洞,因为扩展发射的可能性在更高的分辨率下得到解决。此外,我们期待在集群晕发射模型和两个WIMP暗物质湮灭源计数模型,并讨论任何预测的计数从这些来源的一般约束。最后,我们报告了在$1.4\,$ GHz使用最深的离散计数加上我们新的扩展发射限制,得出的积分计数,提供了可用于规划未来超深调查的数字。

英文摘要:

We present a study of diffuse extragalactic radio emission at $1.75\,$GHz from part of the ELAIS-S1 field using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The resulting mosaic is $2.46\,$deg$^2$, with a roughly constant noise region of $0.61\,$deg$^2$ used for analysis. The image has a beam size of $150 \times60\,$arcsec and instrumental $\langleσ_{\rm n}\rangle= (52\pm5)\, μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$. Using point-source models from the ATLAS survey, we subtract the discrete emission in this field for $S \ge 150\, μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$. Comparison of the source-subtracted probability distribution, or \pd, with the predicted distribution from unsubtracted discrete emission and noise, yields an excess of $(76 \pm 23) \, μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$. Taking this as an upper limit on any extended emission we constrain several models of extended source counts, assuming $Ω_{\rm source} \le 2\,$arcmin. The best-fitting models yield temperatures of the radio background from extended emission of $T_{\rm b}=(10\pm7) \,$mK, giving an upper limit on the total temperature at $1.75\,$GHz of $(73\pm10)\,$mK. Further modelling shows that our data are inconsistent with the reported excess temperature of ARCADE2 to a source-count limit of $1\, μ$Jy. Our new data close a loop-hole in the previous constraints, because of the possibility of extended emission being resolved out at higher resolution. Additionally, we look at a model of cluster halo emission and two WIMP dark matter annihilation source-count models, and discuss general constraints on any predicted counts from such sources. Finally, we report the derived integral count at $1.4\,$GHz using the deepest discrete count plus our new extended-emission limits, providing numbers that can be used for planning future ultra-deep surveys.
