摘要:

这项工作通过处理2020年底几乎所有可用的法拉第旋转数据集,更新了现有的银河系法拉第旋转天空重建。近年来,对银河系外源的观测进一步照亮了以前受限制的南天,以及银河系内盘的部分区域。这最终产生了55,190个数据点的全天空数据集,这是对以前工作中使用的41,330个数据点的重大扩展,因此使银河系组成部分的更新分离成为一项有前途的事业。增加的源密度使我们能够以约$1.3\cdot 10^{-2}\, \mathrm{deg}^2$($46.8\,\mathrm{arcmin}^2$)的分辨率呈现我们的结果,与以前的工作相比,这是两倍的增加。至于以前的法拉第旋转天空重建,这项工作是基于信息场论,一个贝叶斯推断计划,处理噪声和不完整的数据的领域。与以前的重建相比,我们发现了一个显着更薄和明显的银河系盘与小规模的结构超过几千$\mathrm{rad}\,\mathrm{m}^{-2}$的值。这些改进主要归功于法拉第数据的新目录,但也得到了数值信息场论中相关结构建模的进展的支持。我们还详细讨论了法拉第旋转天空的统计特性,并研究了与其他数据集的相关性。

英文摘要:

This work gives an update to existing reconstructions of the Galactic Faraday rotation sky by processing almost all Faraday rotation data sets available at the end of the year 2020. Observations of extra-Galactic sources in recent years have, among other regions, further illuminated the previously under-constrained southern celestial sky, as well as parts of the inner disc of the Milky Way. This has culminated in an all-sky data set of 55,190 data points, which is a significant expansion on the 41,330 used in previous works, hence making an updated separation of the Galactic component a promising venture. The increased source density allows us to present our results in a resolution of about $1.3\cdot 10^{-2}\, \mathrm{deg}^2$ ($46.8\,\mathrm{arcmin}^2$), which is a twofold increase compared to previous works. As for previous Faraday rotation sky reconstructions, this work is based on information field theory, a Bayesian inference scheme for field-like quantities which handles noisy and incomplete data. In contrast to previous reconstructions, we find a significantly thinner and pronounced Galactic disc with small-scale structures exceeding values of several thousand $\mathrm{rad}\,\mathrm{m}^{-2}$. The improvements can mainly be attributed to the new catalog of Faraday data, but are also supported by advances in correlation structure modeling within numerical information field theory. We furthermore give a detailed discussion on statistical properties of the Faraday rotation sky and investigate correlations to other data sets.
