摘要:

我们比较两个旋转不变的分解技术的线性极化数据:自旋2球谐分解在两个相反的奇偶校验,$E$ -和$B$ -模式,和多尺度分析的梯度的线性极化,$|\nabla \mathbf{P}|$。我们证明了这两种分解在图像域和空间频率域中具有相似的性质。它们可用作星际磁场湍流分析的补充工具,以便更好地了解湍流能源的起源、特殊磁场结构的起源及其基本物理。我们还介绍了一个新的数量$|\nabla EB|$的基础上的$E$ -和$B$ -模式,我们表明,在中等和小规模的限制$|\nabla EB| \simeq |\nabla \mathbf{P}|$。对2.3 GHz S波段偏振全天巡天(S-PASS)的分析表明,在$|\nabla \mathbf{P}|$图中出现了许多与$B$型偏振的负丝和正丝相关的“双跳”扩展相干类谐振特征。非热银河系同步辐射的两种偏振类型,$E$和$B$之间的这些局部不对称性对$E$ -和$B$ -模式功率谱分析有影响。基于小波的形式主义的偏振梯度分析,使我们能够定位的位置的$E$ -或$B$ -模式的功能负责两种偏振类型之间的局部不对称性。在分析的分区中,磁场的扰动被与HII区、猎户座-波江座超级气泡和银河系低纬度北极支线有关的星团所抵消。

英文摘要:

We compare two rotationally invariant decomposition techniques on linear polarisation data: the spin-2 spherical harmonic decomposition in two opposite parities, the $E$- and $B$-mode, and the multiscale analysis of the gradient of linear polarisation, $|\nabla \mathbf{P}|$. We demonstrate that both decompositions have similar properties in the image domain and the spatial frequency domain. They can be used as complementary tools for turbulence analysis of interstellar magnetic fields in order to develop a better understanding of the origin of energy sources for the turbulence, the origin of peculiar magnetic field structures and their underlying physics. We also introduce a new quantity $|\nabla EB|$ based on the $E$- and $B$-modes and we show that in the intermediate and small scales limit $|\nabla EB| \simeq |\nabla \mathbf{P}|$. Analysis of the 2.3 GHz S-band Polarization All Sky Survey (S -PASS) shows many extended coherent filament-like features appearing as 'double-jumps' in the $|\nabla \mathbf{P}|$ map that are correlated with negative and positive filaments of $B$-type polarisation. These local asymmetries between the two polarisation types, $E$ and $B$, of the non-thermal Galactic synchrotron emission have an influence on the $E$- and $B$-mode power spectra analyses. The wavelet-based formalism of the polarisation gradient analysis allows us to locate the position of $E$- or $B$-mode features responsible for the local asymmetries between the two polarisation types. In analysed subregions, the perturbations of the magnetic field are trigged by star clusters associated with HII regions, the Orion-Eridanus superbubble and the North Polar Spur at low Galactic latitude.
