摘要:

NGC 4945是距离我们最近的(~3.8 Mpc; 1”~ 19 pc)星暴星系之一。用ALMA谱带3(3- 4 mm)对HCN、HCO ~+、CS、C_3H_2、SiO、HCO和CH_3C_2H进行了~2 ″分辨率的观测。这些线揭示了一个投影大小为10”x 2”的旋转核盘,位置角约为45度,倾角约为75度,以及一个大小<2.5”的未分辨明亮中心核。连续源(主要是自由-自由辐射)比核盘更紧凑,线性因子为2,但位置角相同,中心位于H2O脉泽发射定义的核吸积盘东北0.39”+0.14”处。在核盘外,HCN和CS在动力中心的两侧描绘分子臂。它们由一个0.6千秒差距大小的分子桥连接,很可能是一个致密的气体棒,几乎是端对端,将气体从正面和背面转移到核盘中。用倾斜环模拟这个位于更远的内部(<100 pc)的核盘表明,共面流出达到约50 km/s的特征分离速度。我们所有的分子线,除了CH 3C 2 H,在系统速度(~571 km/s)附近,在~500-660 km/s范围内显示出显著的吸收。显然,只有具有低临界H2密度的分子跃迁不显示吸收。由CH 3 C2 H导出的核盘速度场提供了在内部几角秒内刚性旋转的证据,在2.45”的银河系中心半径内的动力学质量为M =(2.1+_0.2)x 10^8 Mo,在更远的地方旋转曲线明显变平。速度积分谱线强度图显示分子峰位置在连续谱峰西南方向1.5”处,这可能是由于吸收的缘故,在核脉泽盘的东北方向看起来最严重。

英文摘要:

NGC 4945 is one of the nearest (~3.8 Mpc; 1" ~ 19 pc) starburst galaxies. ALMA band 3 (3--4\,mm) observations of HCN, HCO+, CS, C3H2, SiO, HCO, and CH3C2H were carried out with ~2" resolution. The lines reveal a rotating nuclear disk of projected size 10" x 2" with position angle ~45 deg, inclination ~75 deg and an unresolved bright central core of size <2.5". The continuum source (mostly free-free radiation) is more compact than the nuclear disk by a linear factor of two but shows the same position angle and is centered 0.39" +_ 0.14" northeast of the nuclear accretion disk defined by H2O maser emission. Outside the nuclear disk, both HCN and CS delineate molecular arms on opposite sides of the dynamical center. These are connected by a (deprojected) 0.6 kpc sized molecular bridge, likely a dense gaseous bar seen almost ends-on, shifting gas from the front and back side into the nuclear disk. Modeling this nuclear disk located farther inside <100 pc) with tilted rings indicates a coplanar outflow reaching a characteristic deprojectd velocity of ~50 km/s. All our molecular lines, with the notable exception of CH3C2H, show significant absorption near the systemic velocity (~571 km/s), within a range of ~500-660 km/s. Apparently, only molecular transitions with low critical H2-density do not show absorption. The velocity field of the nuclear disk, derived from CH3C2H, provides evidence for rigid rotation in the inner few arcseconds and a dynamical mass of M = (2.1+_0.2) x 10^8 Mo inside a galactocentric radius of 2.45", with a significantly flattened rotation curve farther out. Velocity integrated line intensity maps with most pronounced absorption show molecular peak positions up to 1.5" southwest of the continuum peak, presumably due to absorption, which appears to be most severe slightly northeast of the nuclear maser disk.
