用GMRT对七个邻近星系的低射频观测

Low radio frequency observations of seven nearby galaxies with GMRT

Subhashis Roy, Souvik Manna

摘要:

我们用角分辨率为$\sim10''$、灵敏度为亚毫焦的GMRT在0.33 GHz波段观测了7个邻近的大角尺寸星系。使用档案更高的频率数据在1.4或$\sim$ 6 GHz,然后,我们确定了它们的空间分辨非热谱。作为一个总的趋势,我们发现,光谱指数是比较平坦的星系中心和逐渐陡峭的银河系中心距离的增加。利用MIPS 70 $μ m$远红外(FIR)数据,估计了FIR相关指数。其中一个星系(NGC 4826)被发现具有$\sim1.4$相关指数。从0.33 GHz的数据为其余的星系的平均指数为0.63 $\pm$ 0.06,是显着平坦的指数0.78 $\pm$ 0.04使用1.4 GHz的数据。这表明宇宙射线电子(CRe)传播降低了FIR和0.33 GHz无线电之间的相关性。假设一个简单的各向同性扩散模型的CRe,我们发现,该方案可以解释频率依赖的宇宙线电子传播长度尺度只有两个星系。然而,排除流不稳定性可以解释其余大多数的结果。

英文摘要:

We have observed seven nearby large angular sized galaxies at 0.33 GHz using GMRT with angular resolution of $\sim10''$ and sub-mJy sensitivity. Using archival higher frequency data at 1.4 or $\sim$6 GHz, we have then determined their spatially resolved non-thermal spectrum. As a general trend, we find that the spectral indices are comparatively flat at the galaxy centres and gradually steepen with increasing galactocentric distances. Using archival far infrared (FIR) MIPS 70 $μ m$ data, we estimate the exponent of radio-FIR correlation. One of the galaxy (NGC 4826) was found to have an exponent of the correlation of $\sim1.4$. Average exponent from 0.33 GHz data for the rest of the galaxies was 0.63$\pm$0.06 and is significantly flatter than the exponent 0.78$\pm$0.04 obtained using 1.4 GHz data. This indicates cosmic ray electron (CRe) propagation to have reduced the correlation between FIR and 0.33 GHz radio. Assuming a model of simple isotropic diffusion of CRe, we find that the scenario can explain the frequency dependent cosmic ray electron propagation length scales for only two galaxies. Invoking streaming instability could, however, explain the results for the majority of the remaining ones.
