The need for accurate and complete maps of the galaxy at radio frequencies is made evident not only by the importance of the data in the study of galactic dynamics and structure formation but also in the analysis of cosmic background radiation data. A summary of the existing radio surveys of our galaxy is presented along with their limitations. A new program, the Galactic Emission Mapping (GEM) project, to obtain calibrated and complete maps of the galaxy in the 400 to 1400 MHz range, is outlined.Presented at the 2nd UN/ESA Workshop, held in Bogotá, Colombia, 9-13 November, 1992.  相似文献

Theoretical predictions on the clustering of SCUBA galaxies and implications for small-scale fluctuations at submillimetre wavelengths     

M. Magliocchetti  L. Moscardini  P. Panuzzo  G.L. Granato  G. De Zotti  L. Danese 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2001,325(4):1553-1558

This paper investigates the clustering properties of Submillimetre Common User Bolometric Array (SCUBA) selected galaxies within the framework of a unifying scheme relating the formation of quasi-stellar objects and spheroids. The theoretical angular correlation function is derived for different bias functions, corresponding to different values of the ratio M _halo/ M _sph between the mass of the dark halo and the final mass in stars. SCUBA sources are predicted to be strongly clustered, with a clustering strength increasing with mass. We show that the model accounts for the clustering of Lyman-break galaxies, seen as the optical counterpart of low- to intermediate-mass primeval spheroidal galaxies, and is also consistent with the observed angular correlation function of extremely red objects. Best agreement is obtained for M _halo/ M _sph=100 . We also consider the implications for small-scale fluctuations observed at submillimetre wavelengths by current or forthcoming experiments aimed at mapping the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The predicted amplitude of the clustering signal in the 350-GHz channel of the Planck mission strongly depends on the halo-to-bulge mass ratio and may be of comparable amplitude to primary CMB anisotropies for multipole numbers l ≳50 .  相似文献   

Late-type members of young stellar kinematic groups – I. Single stars     

D. Montes  J. López-Santiago  M.C. Gálvez  M.J. Fernández-Figueroa  E. De Castro  M. Cornide 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2001,328(1):45-63

This is the first paper of a series aimed at studying the properties of late-type members of young stellar kinematic groups. We concentrate our study on classical young moving groups such as the Local Association (Pleiades moving group,     , IC 2391 supercluster (35 Myr), Ursa Major group (Sirius supercluster, 300 Myr), and Hyades supercluster (600 Myr), as well as on recently identified groups such as the Castor moving group (200 Myr). In this paper we compile a preliminary list of single late-type possible members of some of these young stellar kinematic groups. Stars are selected from previously established members of stellar kinematic groups based on photometric and kinematic properties as well as from candidates based on other criteria such as their level of chromospheric activity, rotation rate and lithium abundance. Precise measurements of proper motions and parallaxes taken from the Hipparcos Catalogue, as well as from the Tycho-2 Catalogue, and published radial velocity measurements are used to calculate the Galactic space motions ( U , V , W ) and to apply Eggen's kinematic criteria in order to determine the membership of the selected stars to the different groups. Additional criteria using age-dating methods for late-type stars will be applied in forthcoming papers of this series. A further study of the list of stars compiled here could lead to a better understanding of the chromospheric activity and their age evolution, as well as of the star formation history in the solar neighbourhood. In addition, these stars are also potential search targets for direct imaging detection of substellar companions.  相似文献   

The K-selected Butcher-Oemler effect     

R. De Propris  S.A. Stanford  P. Eisenhardt  Mark Dickinson 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2003,285(1):43-47

We derive the blue fraction for a sample of K-selected galaxies in 25 clusters at 0.15 <z<0.92. We find a much smaller blue fraction and weaker trend with redshift than measured in optically selected samples. We suggest that the Butcher-Oemler effect is primarily due to star forming low luminosity galaxies. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

BVRI photometry of 107 TNOs and Centaurs establishes the range of spectral gradients to be between –5 to 55%/100 nm (with one exception). A cluster of very red Cubewanos is firmly identified in orbits of low inclination and eccentricity beyond 40 AU from the Sun. Further correlations between surface colours and dynamical parameters (inclination and perihelion distance) are suggested for Cubewanos and scattered disk objects, but lack complete confidence for their reality. Plutinos and Centaurs do not show any clear correlation between surface colours and orbital parameters. We present in this paper 12 spectra obtained in the visible region and nine of them for which we obtained also near infrared spectra up to 2.4 microns. A few other objects have been observed, but the data are still under reduction and analysis. The principal reported results obtained are: (i) a wide range of visible slopes; (ii) evidence for surface variations on 2001 PT₁₃; and (iii) possible detection of few percent of water ice (1999 TC_36}, 2000 EB₁₇₃, 1999 DE₉, 2001 PT₁₃, 2000 QC₂₄₃, 1998 SG₃₅).  相似文献   

Hemispheric Imaging of Galactic Neutral Hydrogen with a Phased Array Antenna System     

Stefan J. Wijnholds  A. Ger De Bruyn  Jaap D. Bregman  Jan Geralt Bij De Vaate 《Experimental Astronomy》2004,17(1-3):59-64

The thousand element array (THEA) system is a phased array system consisting of 1 m² tiles having 64 Vivaldi elements each, arranged on a regular 8-by-8 grid, which has been developed as a demonstrator of technology and applicability for SKA. In this paper we present imaging results of Galactic neutral hydrogen with THEA. Measurements have been taken using a dense 2-by-2 array of four tiles as a four tile adder. The results are compared with results from the Leiden-Dwingeloo Survey, showing qualitative agreement, but also indicating that further studies are needed on the instrumental characteristics.  相似文献

The influence of various seawater components on the buffer capacity for CO2     

A. De Luca Rebello  Isabel N.S. Moreira 《Marine Chemistry》1982,11(1):33-41

A series of experiments was performed using artificial seawater samples of increasing complexity, in order to identify, qualitatively and quantitatively, the contribution of main seawater components on the buffer capacity for CO₂.The results show that magnesium plays the most important role in the uptake, enhancing the capacity of the carbonate system alone by more than 100%.  相似文献   

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: galaxy luminosity functions per spectral type

We calculate the optical b _J luminosity function (LF) of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) for different subsets defined by their spectral properties. These spectrally selected subsets are defined using a new parameter, η , which is a linear combination of the first two projections derived from a Principal Component Analysis. This parameter η identifies the average emission- and absorption-line strength in the galaxy rest frame spectrum, and hence is a useful indicator of the present star formation. We use a total of 75 000 galaxies in our calculations, chosen from a sample of high signal-to-noise ratio, low-redshift galaxies observed before 2001 January. We find that there is a systematic steepening of the faint-end slope ( α ) as one moves from passive  ( α =-0.54)  to active  ( α =-1.50)  star-forming galaxies, and that there is also a corresponding faintening of the rest frame characteristic magnitude   M *-5 log₁₀( h )  (from −19.6 to −19.2). We also show that the Schechter function provides a poor fit to the quiescent (Type 1) LF for very faint galaxies  [ M _{b J}-5 log₁₀( h )  fainter than −16.0], perhaps suggesting the presence of a significant dwarf population. The LFs presented here give a precise confirmation of the trends seen previously in a much smaller preliminary 2dFGRS sample, and in other surveys. We also present a new procedure for determining self-consistent k -corrections, and investigate possible fibre-aperture biases.  相似文献
