北方射电遗迹CIZA J2242 .8+5301的光谱偏振观测：没有高频陡化的证据
Spectro-polarimetric observations of the CIZA J2242.8+5301 northern radio relic: no evidence of high-frequency steepening
摘要：
在非常高的频率（>10 GHz）下对射电遗迹的观测可以帮助理解粒子在星系团外围是如何老化和（重新）加速的，以及磁场在这些环境中是如何被放大的。在这项工作中，我们提出了新的单碟18.6 GHz撒丁岛射电望远镜和14.25 GHz Effelsberg观测著名的北方射电遗迹CIZA J2242.8+5301。我们探测到了一个长度为1.8Mpc的遗迹，其通量密度分别等于14.25GHz和18.6GHz的$\sim$和$\rm S_{18.6\,GHz}=(7.67\pm0.90)\,mJy$。由此产生的最佳拟合模型的遗迹频谱从145兆赫到18.6千兆赫是一个幂律频谱与频谱指数$α=1.12\pm0.03$：没有证据表明，在这项工作中提出的新数据中已被发现。对于第一次，极化特性已在18.6 GHz，揭示了平均极化分数的$\sim40\%$和磁场对齐的“丝”或“片”的遗物。
英文摘要：
Observations of radio relics at very high frequency (>10 GHz) can help to understand how particles age and are (re-)accelerated in galaxy cluster outskirts and how magnetic fields are amplified in these environments. In this work, we present new single-dish 18.6 GHz Sardinia Radio Telescope and 14.25 GHz Effelsberg observations of the well known northern radio relic of CIZA J2242.8+5301. We detected the relic which shows a length of $\sim$1.8 Mpc and a flux density equal to $\rm S_{14.25\,GHz}=(9.5\pm3.9)\,mJy$ and $\rm S_{18.6\,GHz}=(7.67\pm0.90)\,mJy$ at 14.25 GHz and 18.6 GHz respectively. The resulting best-fit model of the relic spectrum from 145 MHz to 18.6 GHz is a power-law spectrum with spectral index $α=1.12\pm0.03$: no evidence of steepening has been found in the new data presented in this work. For the first time, polarisation properties have been derived at 18.6 GHz, revealing an averaged polarisation fraction of $\sim40\%$ and a magnetic field aligned with the 'filaments' or 'sheets' of the relic.
