在NGC253中探测HC $_3$ N脉泽辐射

Detection of HC$_3$N maser emission in NGC253

Simon Ellingsen, Xi Chen, Shari Breen, Hai-Hua Qiao

摘要:

本文报道了HC $_3$ N的$J=4-3$跃迁在36.4~GHz处向邻近星暴星系NGC 253的脉泽辐射。这是第一次探测到来自银河系或河外源的这种过渡的脉泽发射。HC $_3$ N脉泽辐射的亮温超过2500 K,距星系中心约18角秒(300 pc),但与已报道的I类甲醇脉泽接近。HC $_3$ N和甲醇脉泽似乎都出现在银河棒和中央分子带之间的界面附近,人们认为分子气体正在向内输送,产生广泛的低速激波区域。

英文摘要:

We report the detection of maser emission from the $J=4-3$ transition of HC$_3$N at 36.4~GHz towards the nearby starburst galaxy NGC253. This is the first detection of maser emission from this transition in either a Galactic or extragalactic source. The HC$_3$N maser emission has a brightness temperature in excess of 2500 K and is offset from the center of the galaxy by approximately 18 arcsec (300 pc), but close to a previously reported class~I methanol maser. Both the HC$_3$N and methanol masers appear to arise near the interface between the galactic bar and the central molecular zone, where it is thought that molecular gas is being transported inwards, producing a region of extensive low-velocity shocks.
