NGC253中的I类甲醇脉泽:棒末端的酒精

Class I methanol masers in NGC253: Alcohol at the end of the bar

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

摘要:

我们利用澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列(ATCA)观测了NGC 253的36.2GHz I类甲醇脉泽辐射,发现它位于核环与银河棒两端的交界处。这被认为是内林布拉德共振的位置,我们认为,在这个地区的微波激射发射很可能是由于大规模的云-云碰撞。我们探测到了河外第一个44.1GHz的I类甲醇脉泽,发现它与36.2GHz的脉泽辐射有关。与银河系恒星形成区发现的I类甲醇脉泽相比,NGC 253的44.1-GHz发射比36.2-GHz脉泽弱两个数量级。36.2和44.1 GHz的辐射都比典型的高质量恒星形成区的预期强几个数量级。这表明,在NGC 253中观察到的发光I类甲醇脉泽与银河系恒星形成相关的脉泽有显着不同。

英文摘要:

We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) to observe the 36.2-GHz class I methanol maser emission towards NGC253 and find that it is located at the interface between the nuclear ring and both ends of the galactic bar. This is thought to be the location of the inner Linblad resonance and we suggest that the maser emission in this region is likely due to large-scale cloud-cloud collisions. We have detected the first extragalactic 44.1-GHz class I methanol maser and find that it is associated with the 36.2-GHz maser emission. In contrast to the class I methanol masers found in Galactic star formation regions, the 44.1-GHz emission in NGC253 is two orders of magnitude weaker than the 36.2-GHz masers. Both the 36.2- and 44.1- GHz emission is orders of magnitude stronger than expected from typical high-mass star formation regions. This demonstrates that the luminous class I methanol masers observed in NGC253 are significantly different from those associated with Galactic star formation.
