Alexander Korochkin, Dmitri Semikoz, Peter Tinyakov

AI总结:

结合旋臂、环形晕、X形场和 Local Bubble 场构建了薄盘外规则银河系磁场新模型,通过系统误差估计方法提升了数据灵敏度,首次将 Fan Region 建模为银河系尺度特征且无需引入条纹场。

摘要:

最近河外源的 Faraday rotation measures (RM) 星表,结合 WMAP 和 Planck 的同步辐射偏振数据,为我们提供了关于银河系磁场的丰富信息。然而,这些观测量的积分特性加上我们身处银河系内部的位置,使得相干银河系磁场 (GMF) 的推断变得复杂且存在歧义。我们结合了 GMF 的几个唯象组件——旋臂、环形晕、X形场以及 Local Bubble 的场——来构建一个新的薄盘外规则 GMF 模型。为了控制 RM 和偏振数据对拟合的相对贡献,我们特别关注数据箱中误差的估计。为此,我们开发了一种系统方法,该方法均匀适用于不同的数据集。该方法考虑了单个测量误差、箱内方差以及大于箱尺寸的角尺度上的数据波动。这导致了误差的减小,从而提高了数据对模型内容的灵敏度。我们用新的 LOFAR 数据交叉验证了方法的稳定性。我们发现上述四个组件足以拟合覆盖全天的 RM 和偏振数据,仅掩去了极小部分。此外,与以往方法相比,我们取得了几项重要改进。由于考虑了我们位于 Local Bubble 内部的位置,我们的模型无需引入条纹场。我们首次表明 Fan Region 可以被建模为一个银河系尺度的特征。拟合中磁场的俯仰角收敛至约 20 度。有趣的是,该值与最近从 Gaia 上主序星数据推断出的旋臂方向非常接近。

英文摘要:

Recent catalog of Faraday rotation measures (RM) of extragalactic sources together with the synchrotron polarization data from WMAP and Planck provides us with a wealth of information on magnetic fields of the Galaxy. However, the integral character of these observables together with our position inside the Galaxy makes the inference of the coherent Galactic magnetic field (GMF) complicated and ambiguous. We combine several phenomenological components of the GMF -- the spiral arms, the toroidal halo, the X-shaped field and the field of the Local Bubble -- to construct a new model of the regular GMF outside the thin disk. To have control over the relative contributions of the RM and polarization data to the fit we pay special attention to the estimation of errors in data bins. To this end we develop a systematic method which is uniformly applicable to different data sets. This method takes into account individual measurement errors, the variance in the bin as well as fluctuations in the data at angular scales larger than the bin size. This leads to decrease of the errors and, as a result, to better sensitivity of the data to the model content. We cross checked the stability of our method with the new LOFAR data. We found that the four components listed above are sufficient to fit both the RM and polarization data over the whole sky with only a small fraction masked out. Moreover, we have achieved several important improvements compared to previous approaches. Due to account of our location inside of the Local Bubble our model does not require introduction of striated fields. For the first time we showed that the Fan Region can be modeled as a Galactic-scale feature. The pitch angle of the magnetic field in our fit converged to the value around 20 degrees. Interestingly, with value is very close to the direction of the arms inferred recently from Gaia data on upper main sequence stars.
