摘要:

本星系群紧凑椭圆星系M32拥有最近的候选超大质量黑洞(SMBH)之一,它有一个先前提出的X射线对应物。基于使用{ \it}进行的敏感性观察,Karl G. Jansky}甚大射电阵列(VLA)首次探测到一个与M32核一致的致密射电源,其积分通量密度为6.6GHz的$\sim$ $47.3\pm6.1$ $μ$ Jy。我们讨论了几种可能性,这种来源的性质,有利于从中央SMBH,我们也重新审视最近获得的{ \sl钱德拉}和{ \sl XMM-牛顿}数据的基础上的X射线特性的长期寻求的无线电发射的起源。我们的VLA观测还发现了来自M32内部区域的三个先前已知的光学行星状星云的无线电发射。

英文摘要:

The Local Group compact elliptical galaxy M32 hosts one of the nearest candidate super-massive black holes (SMBHs), which has a previously suggested X-ray counterpart. Based on sensitive observations taken with the {\it Karl G. Jansky} Very Large Array (VLA), we detect for the first time a compact radio source coincident with the nucleus of M32, which exhibits an integrated flux density of $\sim$$47.3\pm6.1$ $μ$Jy at 6.6 GHz. We discuss several possibilities for the nature of this source, favoring an origin of the long-sought radio emission from the central SMBH, for which we also revisit the X-ray properties based on recently acquired {\sl Chandra} and {\sl XMM-Newton} data. Our VLA observations also discover radio emission from three previously known optical planetary nebulae in the inner region of M32.
