摘要:

我们提出的结果从研究的密集的环核分子气体的星暴星系。这项研究的目的是调查恒星爆发,活动星系核和分子气体之间的相互作用。利用澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵观测到的9个星暴星系的环核区,对HCN、HCO $^{+}$和HNC示踪的致密气体进行了观测,并研究了其运动学特征。我们在9个星系中的7个星系中检测到HCN(1 $-$ 0)和HCO $^{+}$(1 $-$ 0),在4个星系中检测到HNC(1 $-$ 0)。给出了环核分子气体的约7角秒分辨率图。计算速度积分强度比HCO $^{+}$(1 $-$ 0)/HCN(1 $-$ 0)和HNC(1 $-$ 0)/HCN(1 $-$ 0)。利用这些积分强度比和空间强度比图,我们确定了NGC 1097,NGC 1365和NGC 1808中的光子主导区(PDR)。我们发现没有星系的PDR签名显示在所观察到的核区域的一部分。我们还观察到NGC 5236中异常强烈的HNC发射,但它不足以与X射线主导区(XDR)化学相一致。旋转曲线推导出五个星系和动力学质量估计的内部区域的三个星系。

英文摘要:

We present results from a study of the dense circum-nuclear molecular gas of starburst galaxies. The study aims to investigate the interplay between starbursts, active galactic nuclei and molecular gas. We characterise the dense gas traced by HCN, HCO$^{+}$ and HNC and examine its kinematics in the circum-nuclear regions of nine starburst galaxies observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. We detect HCN (1$-$0) and HCO$^{+}$ (1$-$0) in seven of the nine galaxies and HNC (1$-$0) in four. Approximately 7 arcsec resolution maps of the circum-nuclear molecular gas are presented. The velocity integrated intensity ratios, HCO$^{+}$ (1$-$0)/HCN (1$-$0) and HNC (1$-$0)/HCN (1$-$0), are calculated. Using these integrated intensity ratios and spatial intensity ratio maps we identify photon dominated regions (PDRs) in NGC 1097, NGC 1365 and NGC 1808. We find no galaxy which shows the PDR signature in only one part of the observed nuclear region. We also observe unusually strong HNC emission in NGC 5236, but it is not strong enough to be consistent with X-ray dominated region (XDR) chemistry. Rotation curves are derived for five of the galaxies and dynamical mass estimates of the inner regions of three of the galaxies are made.
