摘要:

我们呈现了一项试点宽视场VLBI观测结果,探测银河系平面内28°<l<36°和|b|<1°区域的星际介质散射特性。该区域是银河系棒连接旋臂的地方,目前恒星形成活动频繁。2022年4月至6月,使用VLBA在L波段(1.4-1.8 GHz)进行了整个区域的特殊观测模式,并在一年后补充了S波段(2.2-2.4 GHz)和C波段(4.6-5.0 GHz)的观测。发现目标源受散射影响显著,L、S和C波段的检测率分别为1.5%、3.4%和9.2%,且与观测频率平方成正比。低检测率表明散射强度高,其功率在银河系平面内非均匀分布,可近似为宽度约为2°的高斯分布,峰值位于银河系中平面。该区域内最亮源显示各向异性散射,其观测角大小随波长平方呈依赖关系,沿26°位置角的恒星纬度常数线方向。估计湍流耗散尺度r_in约为1500 km,指向源J1833+0015。

英文摘要:

We present results of a pilot observational wide-field VLBI campaign on probing scattering properties of the partly ionized interstellar medium towards the Galactic plane sky region between $28^\circ<l<36^\circ$ and $|b|<1^\circ$. This covers the region where the Galactic bar connects to the spiral arms and where a lot of star formation is currently ongoing. The Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of the whole region were performed in a special mode with multiple phase centers at L-band (1.4 -- 1.8 GHz) during April-June 2022 and a year later complemented by sessions at S (2.2 -- 2.4 GHz) and C-band (4.6 -- 5.0 GHz) partially covering the pilot region. We found compelling evidence that target sources are subject to scattering. The total detection rate in L, S and C-bands is 1.5, 3.4 and 9.2 per cent, respectively, and approximately scales with the square of the observation frequency. The low rate values imply that scattering is strong. Its power is non-uniform across the Galactic plane and it can be approximated by a Gaussian with a width of about $2^\circ$ peaking at the Galactic mid-plane. One of the brightest sources of the field shows anisotropic scattering, with a $λ^2$ dependence of its observed angular size, along a position angle of $26^\circ$ aligned with the line of constant Galactic latitude. We estimate the turbulence dissipation scale $r_\text{in}\approx1500$ km toward the source J1833+0015.
