摘要:

利用10米亚毫米波望远镜(SMT)观测了37个本星系的HCN 3-2辐射。在23个星系中检测到HCN 3-2发射。红外发光度与HCN 3-2谱线发光度的相关性拟合斜率为1.11,相关系数为0.91,与文献中其它稠密气体示踪剂的线性相关性一致。虽然分子气体高于一定的体积密度阈值(即,$n_{\rm H_2}\geq$ 1 - 0 $^4$ cm $^{-3}$)与红外光度的关系在统计学上相似,但不同LIR星系HCN 3-2/HCN 1 -0比值的较大离散性表明,对于单个星系,仅根据一个致密气体示踪剂跃迁的线光度估算致密气体质量应谨慎对待。

英文摘要:

We present observations of HCN 3-2 emissions towards 37 local galaxies using 10-m Submillimeter Telescope (SMT). HCN 3-2 emission is detected in 23 galaxies. The correlation of infrared luminosity (LIR) and the luminosity of HCN 3-2 line emission measured in our sample is fitted with a slope of 1.11 and correlation coefficient of 0.91, which follows the linear correlation found in other dense gas tracers in the literatures. Although molecular gas above a certain volume density threshold (i.e., $n_{\rm H_2}\geq$ 10$^4$ cm$^{-3}$) statistically gave similar relation with infrared luminosity, the large scatter of HCN 3-2/HCN1-0 ratios for galaxies with different LIR indicates that dense gas masses estimated from the line luminosities of only one transition of dense gas tracers should be treated with caution for individual galaxies.
