本文发布 LoTSS Deep 项目 ELAIS-N1 天区最终 6 角秒分辨率 144 MHz 数据,覆盖 24.53 平方度并探测到约 15.5 万个射电源,同时报告了变源与圆偏振源搜索结果。

摘要:

我们发布了来自低频阵列(LOFAR)两米巡天深场项目(LoTSS Deep)的 ELAIS-N1 天区最终 6 角秒分辨率数据。144 MHz 图像是迄今为止在该频率上达到的最高灵敏度,由 505 小时在源观测所获得的 290 TB 数据生成,观测历时 7.5 年。数据处理遵循为先前 LoTSS 和 LoTSS Deep 数据发布所开发的策略。所得图像覆盖 24.53 平方度,利用改进的源探测方法,我们在该区域内识别出由 182,184 个高斯分量构成的 154,952 个射电源。图像在 6 角秒分辨率下达到 10.7 μJy/波束的噪声水平,其中约一半噪声来源于源混淆。在约 7.4% 的图像区域中,亮源周围有限的动态范围导致噪声进一步增加超过 5%。图像的流量密度标度精度约为 9%,对于高显著性探测,我们的源位置与 Pan-STARRS 位置之间的偏移标准差在赤经和赤纬方向均为 0.2 角秒。我们搜索了各历元图像中的变源,识别出 39 个具有显著变化的天体。我们还搜索了圆偏振源,获得了对三个已知发射源(两颗恒星和一颗脉冲星)的探测,同时将典型偏振比例加泄漏约束为小于 0.045%。

英文摘要:

We present the final 6'' resolution data release of the ELAIS-N1 field from the LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey Deep Fields project (LoTSS Deep). The 144MHz images are the most sensitive achieved to date at this frequency and were created from 290 TB of data obtained from 505 hrs on-source observations taken over 7.5 years. The data were processed following the strategies developed for previous LoTSS and LoTSS Deep data releases. The resulting images span 24.53 square degrees and, using a refined source detection approach, we identified 154,952 radio sources formed from 182,184 Gaussian components within this area. The maps reach a noise level of 10.7 $μ$Jy/beam at 6'' resolution where approximately half of the noise is due to source confusion. In about 7.4% of the image our limited dynamic range around bright sources results in a further > 5% increase in the noise. The images have a flux density scale accuracy of about 9% and the standard deviation of offsets between our source positions and those from Pan-STARRS is 0.2'' in RA and Dec for high significance detections. We searched individual epoch images for variable sources, identifying 39 objects with considerable variation. We also searched for circularly polarised sources achieving three detections of previously known emitters (two stars and one pulsar) whilst constraining the typical polarisation fraction plus leakage to be less than 0.045%.
