摘要:

放射性$^{26}$Al衰变产生的弥漫伽马射线辐射,是来自当今银河系核合成活动的信使。由于这些物质被认为源自大质量恒星及其超新星的抛射物,该伽马射线信号包含了关于大质量恒星内部核合成随演化阶段变化的信息,以及它们对周围星际介质反馈的信息。我们的大质量星族合成方法已被改进,作为用于此目的的诊断工具。当采用已知的大质量恒星群分布以及恒星演化与核心坍缩超新星爆炸的理论模型时,该方法允许对弥漫伽马射线天空进行自下而上的预测。我们发现此类大质量恒星群起源具有总体一致性,特别是我们还发现了支持此类源区在整个银河系中呈团块状分布的证据,以及它们周围大型空腔的特征。积分$^{26}$Al伽马射线通量中的差异被解释为附近存在过量$^{26}$Al辐射的迹象,这些辐射分布在跨越天空主要区域的空腔中。

英文摘要:

Diffuse gamma-ray emission from the decay of radioactive $^{26}$Al is a messenger from the nucleosynthesis activity in our current-day galaxy. Because this material is attributed to ejections from massive stars and their supernovae, the gamma-ray signal includes information about nucleosynthesis in massive star interiors as it varies with evolutionary stages, and about their feedback on the surrounding interstellar medium. Our method of population synthesis of massive-star groups has been refined as a diagnostic tool for this purpose. It allows to build a bottom-up prediction of the diffuse gamma-ray sky when known massive star group distributions and theoretical models of stellar evolution and core-collapse supernova explosions are employed. We find general consistency of an origin in such massive-star groups, in particular we also find support for the clumpy distribution of such source regions across the Galaxy, and characteristics of large cavities around these. A discrepancy in the integrated $^{26}$Al gamma-ray flux is interpreted as an indication for excess $^{26}$Al emission from nearby, distributed in cavities that extend over major regions of the sky.
