Fourcade-Figueroa星系中形成核的证据
Evidence of a Forming Nucleus in the Fourcade-Figueroa Galaxy
AI总结：
本研究通过多卫星数据与DUSTY建模，发现Fourcade-Figueroa星系中心存在一个正在形成的尘埃核，其特征与R136等星暴区相似，是迄今最接近且最弱的被遮蔽红外核。
摘要：
我们分析了来自IRAS、WISE和Planck卫星的数据，揭示了Fourcade-Figueroa星系（ESO270-G017）中心存在一个未分辨的尘埃凝聚体，这可能对应一个正在形成的核。我们使用DUSTY代码对凝聚体在3至1300微米光谱范围内的连续谱进行了建模。基于卡方检验的最佳拟合模型表明，该凝聚体是一个外壳，其外部温度为T_out ~ 12 K，内部边界温度为T_i ~ 500 K。外壳的外半径为r_o = 86.2 pc，内腔半径为r_i = 0.082 pc。该凝聚体产生的消光为A_V = 50 mag，其光度为L_c = 1.08E34 W，这对应于一次大规模恒星形成爆发，与LMC中R136的中心5 pc以及NGC3603（船底臂巨型HII区的电离星团）相似。与正常、发光和超发光红外星系的比较使我们认为这个被遮蔽的核是这类天体中最接近且最弱的对象。
英文摘要：
We analyze data from the IRAS, WISE, and Planck satellites, revealing an unresolved dust condensation at the center of the Fourcade-Figueroa galaxy (ESO270-G017), which may correspond to a forming nucleus. We model the condensation's continuum spectrum in the spectral range from 3 to 1300 microns using the DUSTY code. The best-fit model, based on the Chi-square test, indicates that the condensation is a shell with an outer temperature of T_out ~ 12 K and an inner boundary temperature of T_i ~ 500 K. The shell's outer radius is r_o = 86.2 pc, and the inner cavity radius is r_i = 0.082 pc. The condensation produces an extinction A_V = 50 mag and its luminosity is L_c = 1.08E34 W, which would correspond to a burst of massive star formation approximately similar to the central 5 pc of R136 in the LMC and NGC3603, the ionizing cluster of a giant Carina arm HII region. The comparison with Normal, Luminous, and Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies leads us to consider this obscured nucleus as the nearest and weakest object of this category.
