摘要:

我们提出了新的无线电连续观测NGC253从默奇森宽场阵列在76和227兆赫之间的频率。我们模拟的宽带无线电频谱能量分布的总通量密度的NGC253之间的76 MHz和11 GHz的。光谱最好描述为中心星暴和扩展发射的总和。中心部分,对应于内500pc的星系的星爆区域,是最好的建模为内部自由-自由吸收同步加速器等离子体,周转频率约为230 MHz。NGC253光谱的扩展发射分量最好描述为在低射频的同步辐射平坦化。我们发现,34%的扩展发射(以外的中央星爆区域)在1 GHz的低射频成为部分吸收。这种平坦化大部分发生在SE晕的西部区域,并且可能指示冲击再加速电子的同步自吸收或电子分布的固有低能量截止。此外,我们在射电图像中检测到了NGC 253的大规模同步加速射电晕。在154 - 231 MHz,晕显示出众所周知的X形/角状结构,并在z方向(从主轴)延伸到约8kpc。

英文摘要:

We present new radio continuum observations of NGC253 from the Murchison Widefield Array at frequencies between 76 and 227 MHz. We model the broadband radio spectral energy distribution for the total flux density of NGC253 between 76 MHz and 11 GHz. The spectrum is best described as a sum of central starburst and extended emission. The central component, corresponding to the inner 500pc of the starburst region of the galaxy, is best modelled as an internally free-free absorbed synchrotron plasma, with a turnover frequency around 230 MHz. The extended emission component of the NGC253 spectrum is best described as a synchrotron emission flattening at low radio frequencies. We find that 34% of the extended emission (outside the central starburst region) at 1 GHz becomes partially absorbed at low radio frequencies. Most of this flattening occurs in the western region of the SE halo, and may be indicative of synchrotron self-absorption of shock re-accelerated electrons or an intrinsic low-energy cut off of the electron distribution. Furthermore, we detect the large-scale synchrotron radio halo of NGC253 in our radio images. At 154 - 231 MHz the halo displays the well known X-shaped/horn-like structure, and extends out to ~8kpc in z-direction (from major axis).
