摘要:

我们使用澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列(ATCA)进行进一步的观测36.2 GHz($4_{-1}\rightarrow3_0$ E)甲醇过渡到附近的活动星系NGC 4945。这些观测结果使我们用典型的合成$6^{\prime\prime} \times 4^{\prime\prime}$($108\times72$ pc)束流更精确地确定了NGC 4945的脉泽发射和核之间的偏移。这对应于相对于光束的主轴的4倍改进。甲醇的其他跃迁和其他分子种类的谱线与36.2-GHz甲醇发射一起获得,这里给出了HC $_3$ N(J = $4 \rightarrow 3$)和CS(J = $1 \rightarrow0$)的强检测。在48.4-GHz($1_{0}\rightarrow0_0$ A $^+$)基态跃迁中没有探测到热甲醇(在6 km/s的$^{-1}$通道中5 $σ$上限为5 mJy),在44.1-GHz($7_{0} \rightarrow 6_1 $ A $^+$)I类脉泽跃迁中也没有探测到热甲醇发射(在3 km/s的$^{-1}$通道中5 $σ$上限为6 mJy).我们还比较了NGC 4945与NGC 253以及银河系巨分子云G1.6 -0.025的I类脉泽辐射。

英文摘要:

We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) to conduct further observations of the 36.2-GHz ($4_{-1}\rightarrow3_0$E) methanol transition towards the nearby active galaxy NGC 4945. These observations have led to a more accurate determination of the offset between the maser emission and the nucleus of NGC 4945 with a typical synthesised beam of $6^{\prime\prime} \times 4^{\prime\prime}$ ($108\times72$ pc). This corresponds to a factor of 4 improvement with respect to the major-axis of the beam. Other transitions of methanol and lines of other molecular species were obtained alongside the 36.2-GHz methanol emission, with strong detections of HC$_3$N (J = $4 \rightarrow 3$) and CS (J = $1 \rightarrow0$) presented here. We do not detect thermal methanol (5$σ$ upper limit of 5 mJy in a 6 km s$^{-1}$ channel) from the 48.4-GHz ($1_{0}\rightarrow0_0$A$^+$) ground-state transition, nor emission from the 44.1-GHz ($7_{0} \rightarrow 6_1 $A$^+$) class~I maser transition (5$σ$ upper limit of 6 mJy in a 3 km s$^{-1}$ channel). We also present a comparison of the class~I maser emission observed towards NGC 4945 with that from NGC 253 and towards the Galactic giant molecular cloud G 1.6-0.025.
