Cold, neutral interstellar gas, the reservoir for star formation, is traced through the absorption of the 21-centimetre continuum radiation by neutral hydrogen (H I). Although detected in one hundred cases in the host galaxies of distant radio sources, only recently have column densities approaching the maximum value observed in Lyman-a absorption systems (NHI ∼ 1022 cm−2) been found. Here we explore the implications these have for the hypothesis that the detection rate of H I absorption is dominated by ionising photon rate from the active galactic nucleus (AGN). We find, with the addition all of the current searches for H I absorption at z ≥0.1, a strong correlation between the H I absorption strength and the ionising photon rate, with the maximum value at which H I is detected (QHI = 2.9 ×1056 ionising photons s−1) remaining close to the theoretical value in which all of the neutral gas would be ionised in a large spiral galaxy. We also rule out other effects (excitation by the radio continuum and changing gas properties), as the dominant cause for the decrease in detection rate with redshift. Furthermore, from the maximum theoretical column density, we find that the five high column density systems have spin temperatures close to those of the Milky Way (Tspin ≲ 300 K), whereas, from our model of a gaseous galactic disk, the H I detection at QH I = 2.9 ×1056 s−1 yields Tspin ∼ 10 000 K, consistent with the gas being highly ionised.
冷的中性星际气体是恒星形成的储存库,通过中性氢(H I)对 21 厘米连续辐射的吸收可以追踪到它。虽然在遥远射电源的宿主星系中发现了一百个这样的例子,但直到最近才发现柱密度接近在莱曼-a 吸收系统中观测到的最大值(NHI ∼ 1022 cm-2)。在这里,我们将探讨这些数据对 "H I 吸收的探测率主要受活动星系核(AGN)电离光子率的影响 "这一假设的影响。我们发现,加上目前对z≥0.1处H I吸收的所有搜索,H I吸收强度和电离光子率之间存在着很强的相关性,H I被探测到的最大值(QHI = 2.9 ×1056 电离光子 s-1)仍然接近于一个大型螺旋星系中所有中性气体都被电离的理论值。我们还排除了其他影响(射电连续波的激发和气体性质的变化),认为它们是导致探测率随红移而降低的主要原因。此外,根据最大理论柱密度,我们发现五个高柱密度系统的自旋温度接近银河系(Tspin ≲ 300 K),而根据我们的气态星系盘模型,在 QH I = 2.9 ×1056 s-1 时探测到的 H I 得到的 Tspin ∼ 10 000 K,这与气体被高度电离是一致的。

All very massive early-type galaxies contain supermassive blackholes but are these blackholes all sufficiently active to produce detectable radio continuum sources? We have used the 887.5 MHz Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey DR1 to measure the radio emission from morphological early-type galaxies brighter than KS = 9.5 selected from the 2MASS Redshift Survey, HyperLEDA and RC3. In line with previous studies, we find median radio power increases with infrared luminosity, with although the scatter about this relation spans several orders of magnitude. All 40 of the MK < −25.7 early-type galaxies in our sample have measured radio flux densities that are more than 2α above the background noise, with 1.4 GHz radio powers spanning . Cross matching our sample with integral field spectroscopy of early-type galaxies reveals that the most powerful radio sources preferentially reside in galaxies with relatively low angular momentum (i.e. slow rotators). While the infrared colours of most galaxies in our early-type sample are consistent with passive galaxies with negligible star formation and the radio emission produced by active galactic nuclei or AGN remnants, very low levels of star formation could power the weakest radio sources with little effect on many other star formation rate tracers.
所有质量非常大的早期型星系都包含超大质量黑洞,但是这些黑洞是否都足够活跃,从而产生可探测到的射电连续波源呢?我们利用 887.5 MHz 快速 ASKAP 连续巡天 DR1 测量了从 2MASS 红移巡天、HyperLEDA 和 RC3 中选取的亮度大于 KS = 9.5 的形态早期型星系的射电辐射。与之前的研究结果一致,我们发现中值射电功率随着红外光度的增加而增加,尽管这种关系的散度跨越了几个数量级。在我们的样本中,所有 40 个 MK < -25.7 早期型星系测量到的射电通量密度都比背景噪声高出 2α 以上,1.4 GHz 射电功率跨度为 .将我们的样本与早期型星系的积分场光谱进行交叉比对后发现,最强大的射电源优先存在于角动量相对较小的星系中(即慢速旋转星系)。虽然我们早期类型样本中大多数星系的红外颜色与恒星形成可以忽略不计的被动星系以及活动星系核或 AGN 残余物产生的射电辐射一致,但极低水平的恒星形成可以为最弱的射电源提供能量,而对许多其他恒星形成率示踪物几乎没有影响。

The Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) has surveyed the sky at multiple frequencies as part of the Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey (RACS). The first two RACS observing epochs, at 887.5 (RACS-low) and 1367.5 (RACS-mid) MHz, have been released (McConnell et al., 2020; Duchesne et al., 2023). A catalogue of radio sources from RACS-low has also been released, covering the sky south of declination +30° (Hale et al., 2021). With this paper, we describe and release the first set of catalogues from RACS-mid, covering the sky below declination +49°. The catalogues are created in a similar manner to the RACS-low catalogue, and we discuss this process and highlight additional changes. The general purpose primary catalogue covering 36 200 deg2 features a variable angular resolution to maximise sensitivity and sky coverage across the catalogued area, with a median angular resolution of 11.2″ × 9.3″. The primary catalogue comprises 3 105 668 radio sources, including those in the Galactic Plane (2 861 923 excluding Galactic latitudes of |b| < 5°) and we estimate the catalogue to be 95% complete for sources above 2 mJy. With the primary catalogue, we also provide two auxiliary catalogues. The first is a fixed-resolution, 25-arcsec catalogue approximately matching the sky coverage of the RACS-low catalogue. This 25-arcsec catalogue is constructed identically to the primary catalogue, except images are convolved to a less-sensitive 25-arcsec angular resolution. The second auxiliary catalogue is designed for time-domain science, and is the concatenation of source-lists from the original RACS-mid images with no additional convolution, mosaicking, or de-duplication of source entries to avoid losing time-variable signals. All three RACS-mid catalogues, and all RACS data products, are available through the CSIRO ASKAP Science Data Archive a.
澳大利亚 SKA 探路者(ASKAP)对天空进行了多频率观测,作为快速 ASKAP 连续观测(RACS)的一部分。RACS的前两个观测纪元已经发布,频率分别为887.5(RACS-低)和1367.5(RACS-中)兆赫(McConnell等人,2020年;Duchesne等人,2023年)。来自 RACS-低频的射电源目录也已发布,覆盖了南偏角+30°以南的天空(Hale 等人,2021 年)。通过这篇论文,我们描述并发布了来自 RACS-mid 的第一套星表,覆盖了赤纬+49°以下的天空。这些星表的制作方法与RACS-low星表类似,我们将讨论这一过程,并强调其他的变化。通用主星表覆盖面积为 36 200 De2,具有可变的角分辨率,以最大限度地提高灵敏度和覆盖整个星表区域的天空,中值角分辨率为 11.2″ × 9.3″。主目录包括 3 105 668 个射电源,其中包括银河系平面内的射电源(2 861 923 个射电源不包括银河系纬度为 |b| < 5°的射电源),我们估计 2 mJy 以上射电源的目录完整度为 95%。与主目录一起,我们还提供了两个辅助目录。第一份是固定分辨率的25弧秒星表,与RACS-low星表的天空覆盖范围大致匹配。这份 25 弧秒的星表与主星表的构造完全相同,只是图像被卷积到灵敏度较低的 25 弧秒角分辨率。第二份辅助目录是为时域科学而设计的,由原始 RACS-mid 图像中的源列表合并而成,没有额外的卷积、镶嵌或源条目去重,以避免丢失时变信号。所有三个 RACS-mid 目录和所有 RACS 数据产品均可通过 CSIRO ASKAP 科学数据存档 a 获取。

Creating radio galaxy catalogues from next-generation deep surveys requires automated identification of associated components of extended sources and their corresponding infrared hosts. In this paper, we introduce RadioGalaxyNET, a multimodal dataset, and a suite of novel computer vision algorithms designed to automate the detection and localization of multi-component extended radio galaxies and their corresponding infrared hosts. The dataset comprises 4,155 instances of galaxies in 2,800 images with both radio and infrared channels. Each instance provides information about the extended radio galaxy class, its corresponding bounding box encompassing all components, the pixel-level segmentation mask, and the keypoint position of its corresponding infrared host galaxy. RadioGalaxyNET is the first dataset to include images from the highly sensitive Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope, corresponding infrared images, and instance-level annotations for galaxy detection.We benchmark several object detection algorithms on the dataset and propose a novel multimodal approach to simultaneously detect radio galaxies and the positions of infrared hosts.

Magnetic active regions on the Sun are harbingers of space weather. Understanding the physics of how they form and evolve will improve space weather forecasting. Our aim is to characterise the surface magnetic field and flows for a sample of active regions with persistent magnetic bipoles prior to emergence. We identified 42 emerging active regions (EARs), in the Solar Dynamics Observatory Helioseismic Emerging Active Region survey (Schunker et al. 2016, A&A. 595, A107), associated with small magnetic bipoles at least one day before the time of emergence. We then identified a contrasting sample of 42 EARs that emerge more abruptly without bipoles before emergence. We computed the supergranulation-scale surface flows using helioseismic holography. We averaged the flow maps and magnetic field maps over all active regions in each sample at each time interval from 2 d before emergence to 1 d after. We found that EARs associated with a persistent pre-emergence bipole evolve to be, on average, lower flux active regions than EARs that emerge more abruptly. Further, we found that the EARs that emerge more abruptly do so with a diverging flow of $(3pm 0.6) times 10^{-6}$ s $^{-1}$ on the order of 50–100 ms $^{-1}$ . Our results show that there is a statistical dependence of the surface flow signature throughout the emergence process on the maximum magnetic flux of the active region.

We report for the first time a relationship between galaxy kinematics and net Lyman-α equivalent width (net Lyα EW) in star forming galaxies during the epoch of peak cosmic star formation. Building on the previously reported broadband imaging segregation of Lyα-emitting and Lyα-absorbing Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z ∼ 2 (Paper I in this series) and previously at z ∼ 3, we use the Lyα spectral type classification method to study the relationship between net Lyα EWand nebular emission-line kinematics in samples of z ∼ 2 and z ∼ 3 LBGs drawn from the literature, for which matching rest-frame UV photometry, consistently measured net Lyα EWs, and kinematic classifications from integral field unit spectroscopy are available. we show that z ∼ 2 and z ∼ 3 LBGs segregate in colour-magnitude space according to their kinematic properties and Lyman-α spectral type, and conclude that LBGs with Lyα dominant in absorption (aLBGs) are almost exclusively rotation-dominated (presumably disc-like) systems, and LBGs with Lyα dominant in emission (eLBGs) characteristically have dispersion-dominated kinematics. We quantify the relationship between the strength of rotational dynamic support (as measured using vobs/2σint and vrot/σ0) and net Lyα EWfor subsets of our kinematic sample where these data are available, and demonstrate the consistency of our result with other properties that scale with net Lyα EWand kinematics.

本文首次报道了宇宙恒星形成高峰时期恒星形成星系中星系运动学与净Lyman-α等效宽度(net Lyα EW)之间的关系。在先前报道的z ~ 2和z ~ 3处发射和吸收Lyα的Lyα- break星系(LBGs)宽带成像分离的基础上,我们使用Lyα光谱类型分类方法研究了从文献中提取的z ~ 2和z ~ 3 LBGs样品中净Lyα EWand星云发射在线运动学之间的关系,其中匹配静帧紫外光度法,一致测量净Lyα EWs,从积分场单位光谱的运动学分类是可用的。我们发现z ~ 2和z ~ 3 LBGs根据其运动学性质和Lyman-α光谱类型在色等空间中分离,并得出结论,Lyα主导吸收的LBGs (aLBGs)几乎完全是旋转主导(可能是圆盘状)系统,Lyα主导发射的LBGs (eLBGs)具有色散主导的运动学特征。我们量化了旋转动态支持强度(使用vos /2σint和vrot/σ0测量)与我们的运动学样本子集之间的关系,这些数据可用,并证明了我们的结果与其他属性的一致性,这些属性与净Lyα EWand运动学的比例。基于这些发现,我们提出了一种方法,该方法可以使用宽带成像选择旋转和色散主导的星系的大样本,只需三个过滤器和/或净Lyα EWalone。如果在更大的样本中得到证实,这种方法的应用将使我们能够在当前和未来的大面积和全天光度调查的数据集中,在大尺度上理解星系的运动行为,这些数据集将选择红移范围从z ~ 2 - 6的数亿个lbg,跨越数百到数千个Mpc。最后,我们推测,我们的结果将净Lyα EW和星云发射在线运动学与已知的Lyα-吸收和Lyα-发射LBGs的大规模聚类行为结合起来,可以联想到早期星系的涌现双峰,这与z ~ 2 - 3处的新生形态-密度关系相一致。

Galaxy gas kinematics are sensitive to the physical processes that contribute to a galaxy’s evolution. It is expected that external processes will cause more significant kinematic disturbances in the outer regions, while internal processes will cause more disturbances for the inner regions. Using a subsample of 47 galaxies (0.27 < z < 0.36) from the Middle Ages Galaxy Properties with Integral Field Spectroscopy (MAGPI) survey, we conduct a study into the source of kinematic disturbances by measuring the asymmetry present in the ionised gas line-of-sight velocity maps at the 0.5Re (inner regions) and 1.5Re (outer regions) elliptical annuli. By comparing the inner and outer kinematic asymmetries, we aim to better understand what physical processes are driving the asymmetries in galaxies. We find the local environment plays a role in kinematic disturbance, in agreement with other integral field spectroscopy studies of the local universe, with most asymmetric systems being in close proximity to a more massive neighbour. We do not find evidence suggesting that hosting an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) contributes to asymmetry within the inner regions, with some caveats due to emission line modelling. In contrast to previous studies, we do not find evidence that processes leading to asymmetry also enhance star formation in MAGPI galaxies. Finally, we find a weak anti-correlation between stellar mass and asymmetry (ie. high stellar mass galaxies are less asymmetric). We conclude by discussing possible sources driving the asymmetry in the ionised gas, such as disturbances being present in the colder gas phase (either molecular or atomic) prior to the gas being ionised, and non-axisymmetric features (e.g., a bar) being present in the galactic disk. Our results highlight the complex interplay between ionised gas kinematic disturbances and physical processes involved in galaxy evolution.
星系气体运动学对导致星系演化的物理过程非常敏感。预计外部过程将在外区域造成更大的运动扰动,而内部过程将对内区域造成更多的扰动。使用47个星系的子样本(0.27 <z & lt;0.36)来自中世纪星系性质积分场光谱(MAGPI)调查,我们通过测量0.5Re(内区)和1.5Re(外区)椭圆环空电离气体视距速度图中存在的不对称性来研究运动学干扰的来源。通过比较内部和外部的运动不对称,我们的目标是更好地理解是什么物理过程导致了星系中的不对称。我们发现局部环境在运动扰动中起作用,与局部宇宙的其他积分场光谱研究一致,大多数不对称系统靠近更大质量的邻居。我们没有发现证据表明拥有一个活动星系核(AGN)会导致内部区域的不对称,由于发射线模型的一些警告。与之前的研究相反,我们没有发现证据表明导致不对称的过程也会增强MAGPI星系中的恒星形成。最后,我们发现恒星质量与不对称性之间存在微弱的反相关关系。高恒星质量星系的不对称性较小)。最后,我们讨论了电离气体中不对称的可能来源,例如在气体被电离之前,在较冷的气相(分子或原子)中存在的干扰,以及银河系盘中存在的非轴对称特征(例如,棒状结构)。我们的结果突出了星系演化中电离气体运动扰动和物理过程之间复杂的相互作用。

Very metal-poor (VMP, [Fe/H]<-2.0) stars serve as invaluable repositories of insights into the nature and evolution of the first-generation stars formed in the early galaxy. The upcoming China Space Station Telescope (CSST) will provide us with a large amount of spectral data that may contain plenty of VMP stars, and thus it is crucial to determine the stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff , log g, and [Fe/H]) for low-resolution spectra similar to the CSST spectra (R ∼ 200). This study introduces a novel two-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, comprised of three convolutional layers and two fully connected layers. The model’s proficiency is assessed in estimating stellar parameters, particularly metallicity, from low-resolution spectra (R ∼ 200), with a specific focus on enhancing the search for VMP stars within the CSST spectral data. We mainly use 10,008 spectra of VMP stars from LAMOST DR3, and 16,638 spectra of non-VMP stars ([Fe/H]>-2.0) from LAMOST DR8 for the experiments and apply random forest and support vector machine methods to make comparisons. The resolution of all spectra is reduced to R ∼ 200 to match the resolution of the CSST, followed by preprocessing and transformation into two-dimensional spectra for input into the CNN model. The validation and practicality of this model are also tested on the MARCS synthetic spectra. The results show that using the CNN model constructed in this paper, we obtain Mean Absolute Error (MAE) values of 99.40 K for Teff , 0.22 dex for log g, 0.14 dex for [Fe/H], and 0.26 dex for [C/Fe] on the test set. Besides, the CNN model can efficiently identify VMP stars with a precision rate of 94.77%, a recall rate of 93.73%, and an accuracy of 95.70%. This paper powerfully demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed CNN model in estimating stellar parameters for low-resolution spectra (R ∼ 200) and recognizing VMP stars that are of interest for stellar population and galactic evolution work.
极贫金属(VMP, [Fe/H]<-2.0)恒星是了解早期星系中形成的第一代恒星的性质和演化的宝贵资源。即将到来的中国空间站望远镜(CSST)将为我们提供大量可能包含大量VMP恒星的光谱数据,因此确定与CSST光谱(R ~ 200)相似的低分辨率光谱的恒星大气参数(Teff, log g和[Fe/H])至关重要。本文提出了一种新的二维卷积神经网络(CNN)模型,该模型由三个卷积层和两个全连接层组成。通过低分辨率光谱(R ~ 200)估计恒星参数,特别是金属丰度,评估了该模型的熟练程度,并特别关注在CSST光谱数据中加强对VMP恒星的搜索。我们主要使用LAMOST DR3的10,008个VMP恒星光谱和LAMOST DR8的16,638个非VMP恒星([Fe/H]>-2.0)光谱进行实验,并采用随机森林和支持向量机方法进行比较。所有光谱的分辨率被降低到R ~ 200,以匹配CSST的分辨率,然后进行预处理和转换成二维光谱输入到CNN模型中。在MARCS合成光谱上验证了该模型的有效性和实用性。结果表明,使用本文构建的CNN模型,在测试集上Teff的平均绝对误差(Mean Absolute Error, MAE)为99.40 K, log g为0.22 index, [Fe/H]为0.14 index, [C/Fe]为0.26 index。此外,CNN模型可以有效地识别VMP恒星,准确率为94.77%,召回率为93.73%,准确率为95.70%。本文有力地证明了所提出的CNN模型在估计低分辨率光谱(R ~ 200)的恒星参数和识别对恒星群和星系演化工作感兴趣的VMP恒星方面的有效性。

对恒星前核心内部结构的测量对于理解恒星形成前的初始条件至关重要。在这项工作中,我们使用Karl G. Jansky甚大阵列(VLA)射电望远镜(空间分辨率$sim$ 3.7”)研究了恒星前核心L1517B中心区域的氨谱线(NH $_{3}$) (J, K = 1,1和2,2)。我们的分析表明,从NH $_{3}$(1,1)和(2,2)发射中获得的核心中心区域的形状接近圆形。径向平均动力学温度($T_{k}$)几乎是恒定的,平均值为$sim$ 9k。在这个恒星前核心的中心致密核内,没有观察到动力学温度的径向急剧下降($T_{k}$)。此外,我们还注意到该区域整体速度梯度从东北向西南方向,这可能表明了地核的旋转运动。然后计算参数$beta$,定义为旋转能与重力势能之比,得到$beta$ = $sim$ 5 $times$ 10 $^{-3}$;这表明旋转至少在地核的中心区域内没有影响。我们还进行了病毒分析,观察到中心区域可能处于收缩阶段。从这项研究中,我们还表明,中心区域内的湍流本质上是亚音速的(音速马赫数,$M_{s}$$<$ 1),并且没有明显的长度尺度依赖性。此外,我们注意到激发温度($T_{ex}$)和NH柱密度$_{3}$从核心中心向外侧递减,峰值分别为$sim$ 5.6 K和$sim$ 10 $^{15}$ cm $^{-2}$。总之,这项工作考察了L1517B恒星前核心中心区域的不同物理和运动学特性。

Abstract Typical radio interferometer observations are performed assuming the source of radiation to be in the far-field of the instrument, resulting in a two-dimensional Fourier relationship between the observed visibilities in the aperture plane and the sky brightness distribution (over a small field of view). When near-field objects are present in an observation, the standard approach applies far-field delays during correlation, resulting in loss of signal coherence for the signal from the near-field object. In this paper, we demonstrate near-field aperture synthesis techniques using a Murchison Widefield Array observation of the International Space Station (ISS), as it appears as a bright near-field object. We perform visibility phase corrections to restore coherence across the array for the near-field object (however not restoring coherence losses due to time and frequency averaging at the correlator). We illustrate the impact of the near-field corrections in the aperture plane and the sky plane. The aperture plane curves to match the curvature of the near-field wavefront, and in the sky plane near-field corrections manifest as fringe rotations at different rates as we bring the focal point of the array from infinity to the desired near-field distance. We also demonstrate the inverse scenario of inferring the line-of-sight range of the ISS by inverting the apparent curvature of the wavefront seen by the aperture. We conclude the paper by briefly discussing the limitations of the methods developed and the near-field science cases where our approach can be exploited.
典型的射电干涉仪观测假设辐射源在仪器的远场,导致在孔径平面上观测到的可见度与天空亮度分布之间的二维傅立叶关系(在小视场上)。当观测中存在近场目标时,标准方法在相关过程中应用远场延迟,导致来自近场目标的信号失去相干性。在本文中,我们演示了使用国际空间站(ISS)的默奇森宽场阵列观测的近场孔径合成技术,因为它看起来像一个明亮的近场物体。我们执行可见相位校正来恢复近场目标在整个阵列上的相干性(但是由于相关器的时间和频率平均而无法恢复相干性损失)。我们举例说明了近场校正在孔径平面和天平面上的影响。孔径平面弯曲以匹配近场波前的曲率,而在天空平面上,当我们将阵列的焦点从无穷远处移到所需的近场距离时,近场修正以不同速率的条纹旋转表现出来。我们还演示了通过反演光圈看到的波前表观曲率来推断ISS视线范围的反情景。我们通过简要讨论所开发方法的局限性和我们的方法可以利用的近场科学案例来结束本文。
