摘要:

使用高分辨率的数据从银河阿雷西博L波段馈电阵列HI(GALFA-HI)调查,我们表明,在银河中性氢(HI)的线性结构与普朗克353 GHz极化尘埃发射暗示的磁场方向。中性星际介质的结构与磁场的耦合比以前所知的更紧密。在银河系高纬度地区,普朗克数据以噪音为主,HI数据对银河系磁场方向提供了独立的约束,从而对局部尘埃极化角提供了独立的约束。我们检测到强互相关性的模板地图构建的尘埃强度的估计结合HI衍生的角度,星光偏振角,或普朗克353 GHz的角度。因此,HI数据提供了一个新的工具,在宇宙微波背景,这是目前受到尘埃前景污染的限制,在寻找暴胀引力波B模式偏振。

英文摘要:

Using high-resolution data from the Galactic Arecibo L-Band Feed Array HI (GALFA-HI) survey, we show that linear structure in Galactic neutral hydrogen (HI) correlates with the magnetic field orientation implied by Planck 353 GHz polarized dust emission. The structure of the neutral interstellar medium is more tightly coupled to the magnetic field than previously known. At high Galactic latitudes, where the Planck data are noise-dominated, the HI data provide an independent constraint on the Galactic magnetic field orientation, and hence the local dust polarization angle. We detect strong cross-correlations between template maps constructed from estimates of dust intensity combined with either HI-derived angles, starlight polarization angles, or Planck 353 GHz angles. The HI data thus provide a new tool in the search for inflationary gravitational wave B-mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background, which is currently limited by dust foreground contamination.
