摘要:

我们研究了远红外/亚毫米尘埃发射和原子气柱密度之间的相关性,以推导出高银河系纬度,低密度,银河系卷云在室女星系团的星系前景的属性。尘埃排放图从60到850微米的赫歇尔室女星系团调查,由IRAS-IRIS和普朗克HFI地图补充内进行的SPIRE观测。从阿雷西博遗产快速ALFA调查的数据被用来推导原子气柱密度的两个广泛的速度分量,低和中等速度云。尘埃发射率推导出每个气体成分和每个远红外/亚毫米波段。对于低速云,我们在250 μ m处测得平均发射率为0.79 +/-0.08乘以1E-20 MJy sr ^-1 cm ^2。在将一个修正的黑体拟合到可用的波段后,我们估计出在250 μ m处的尘埃吸收截面为0.49 +/-0.13乘以1E-25 cm ^2 H ^-1(尘埃温度T = 20.4 +/-1.5 K,光谱指数β = 1.53 +/-0.17)。结果与普朗克在银河系高纬度卷云的更大覆盖范围(天空的50%对我们工作中的0.2%)上获得的结果非常一致。对于与中速气体有关的尘埃,我们证实了早期的普朗克结果,并发现更高的温度和更低的发射率和横截面。在减去模型化的成分后,我们发现在尺度小于20 '的区域中,残差显着偏离平均值,宇宙红外背景为主,散射。这些较大的残差很可能是由于卷云尘埃特性(和/或尘埃/原子-气体相关性)的局部变化,或者是由于平均N_H2 <~1E20 cm ^-2的高纬度分子云。我们没有发现室女座星系团内尘埃排放的确凿证据。

英文摘要:

We study the correlation between far-infared/submm dust emission and atomic gas column density in order to derive the properties of the high Galactic latitude, low density, Milky Way cirrus in the foreground of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. Dust emission maps from 60 to 850 um are obtained from SPIRE observations carried out within the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey, complemented by IRAS-IRIS and Planck-HFI maps. Data from the Arecibo legacy Fast ALFA Survey is used to derive atomic gas column densities for two broad velocity components, low and intermediate velocity clouds. Dust emissivities are derived for each gas component and each far-infared/submm band. For the low velocity clouds, we measure an average emissivity 0.79 +/- 0.08 times 1E-20 MJy sr^-1 cm^2 at 250 um. After fitting a modified blackbody to the available bands, we estimated a dust absorption cross-section 0.49 +/- 0.13 times 1E-25 cm^2 H^-1 at 250 um (with dust temperature T = 20.4 +/- 1.5 K and spectral index beta = 1.53 +/- 0.17). The results are in excellent agreement with those obtained by Planck over a much larger coverage of the high Galactic latitude cirrus (50% of the sky vs 0.2% in our work). For dust associated with intermediate velocity gas, we confirm earlier Planck results and find a higher temperature and lower emissivity and cross-section. After subtracting the modelled components, we find regions at scales smaller than 20' where the residuals deviate significantly from the average, cosmic-infrared-background dominated, scatter. These large residuals are most likely due to local variations in the cirrus dust properties (and/or the dust/atomic-gas correlation) or to high-latitude molecular clouds with average N_H2 <~ 1E20 cm^-2. We find no conclusive evidence for intracluster dust emission in Virgo.
