VLA巡天(VLASS)1.3 sr扩展射电源的搜寻

A Search for Extended Radio Sources in 1.3 sr of the VLA Sky Survey (VLASS)

Agueda C. Villarreal Hernández, Heinz Andernach

摘要:

我们报告的初步结果的视觉检查的~4300度$^2$覆盖的4414图像的3 GHz的VLA巡天(VLASS,历元1.1)在寻找扩展的无线电结构。超过7600个位置被注册,并且对于270个最有希望的候选者的子集,在光学和红外勘测以及其他公共数据库中搜索其宿主对象。在这270个星系中,我们发现了9个新的巨射电星系,其投影射电范围超过1 Mpc,其中两个可能是红移z $\sim$ 2的类星体,另一个至今被误认为是一个低红移的宿主星系。除了具有不寻常的无线电形态的各种来源,我们发现了许多残留类型的双射电源,在VLASS中具有非常分散的瓣,有和没有无线电核心。我们确认,高角分辨率和观测频率的VLASS是非常适合的射电源的光学识别,尽管其有限的灵敏度扩展发射,允许揭示大射电星系的基础上无法识别的形态特征,在较低的分辨率调查。

英文摘要:

We report preliminary results of a visual inspection of ~4300 deg$^2$ covered by 4414 images of the 3-GHz VLA Sky Survey (VLASS, epoch 1.1) in search of extended radio structures. Over 7600 positions were registered, and for a subset of 270 of the most promising candidates their host objects were searched in optical and infrared surveys, as well as in other public databases. Among these 270, we found 9 new giant radio galaxies with a projected radio extent exceeding 1 Mpc, of which two are likely quasars at a redshift of z$\sim$2, and another one had hitherto been misidentified with a low-redshift host. Apart from various sources with unusual radio morphologies, we found numerous remnant-type double radio sources with very diffuse lobes in VLASS, both with and without radio cores. We confirm that the high angular resolution and observing frequency of VLASS is well suited for the optical identification of radio sources, and despite its limited sensitivity to extended emission, allows to reveal large radio galaxies based on morphological features unrecognizable in lower-resolution surveys.
