This paper describes a wide-field survey made at 34.5 MHz using GEETEE,1 the low frequency telescope at Gauribidanur (latitude
13°36′12′′N). This telescope was used in the transit mode and by per forming 1-D synthesis along the north-south direction
the entire observable sky was mapped in a single day. This minimized the problems that hinder wide-field low-frequency mapping.
This survey covers the declination range of-50° to + 70° (- 33° to +61° without aliasing) and the complete 24 hours of right
ascension. The synthesized beam has a resolution of 26′ x 42′ sec (δ- 14°. 1). The sensitivity of the survey is 5 Jy/beam (1σ). Special care has been taken to ensure that the antenna responds
to all angular scale structures and is suitable for studies of both point sources and extended objects
This telescope is jointly operated by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore and the Roman Research Institute, Bangalore. 相似文献

We have imaged a region of ∼ 5′ extent surrounding Sgr A* in the HI 21 cm-line absorption using the Very Large Array. A Gaussian
decomposition of the optical depth spectra at positions within ∼ 2′ (∼ 5 pc at 8.5 kpc) of Sgr A* detects a wide line underlying
the many narrow absorption lines. The wide line has a mean peak optical depth of 0.32 ± 0.12 centered at a mean velocity of
V1sr = −4 ± 15 km s{−1}. The mean full width at half maximum is 119 ± 42 km s−1. Such a wide line is absent in the spectra at positions beyond ∼ 2′ from Sgr A*. The position-velocity diagrams in optical
depth reveal that the wide line originates in various components of the circumnuclear disk (radius ∼ 1.3′ ) surrounding Sgr
A*. These components contribute to the optical depth of the wide line in different velocity ranges. The position-velocity
diagrams do not reveal any diffuse feature which could be attributed to a large number of HI clouds along the line of sight
to Sgr A*. Consequently, the wide line has no implications either to a global population of shocked HI clouds in the Galaxy
or to the energetics of the interstellar medium as was earlier thought. 相似文献

We conclude that pulsar-driven supernova remnants (SNRs) are extremely rare objects. Indeed an analysis of the known sample
of plerions suggests a very low birthrate ∼ 1 in 240 years. Long-lived and bright plerions like the Crab nebula are likely
to be produced only when the pulsar has an initial period ∼ 10–20 milliseconds and a field ∼ 1012 G. Such pulsars inside rapidly expanding shell remnants should also produce detectable plerions. The extreme rarity of SNRs
with such hybrid morphology leads us to conclude that these pulsars must have been born with an initial period larger than
∼ 35–70 milliseconds.

Nearby interstellar clouds with high (|ν|≥10km s−1) random velocities although easily detected in NaI and CaII lines have hitherto not been detected (in emission or absorption)
in the HI 21cm line. We describe here deep Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) HI absorption observations toward radio
sources with small angular separation from bright O and B stars whose spectra reveal the presence of intervening high random
velocity CaII absorbing clouds. In 5 out of the 14 directions searched we detect HI 21cm absorption features from these clouds.
The mean optical depth of these detections is ∼0.09 and FWHM is ∼10km s−1, consistent with absorption arising from CNM clouds. 相似文献

The case of spectacular ring-like double radio relics in the merging, rich galaxy cluster A3376 is of great interest to study
non-thermal phenomena at cluster outskirts. We present the first low frequency (330 and 150 MHz) images of the double relics
using the GMRT. With our GMRT 330 MHz map and the VLA 1400 MHz map (Bagchi et al. 2006), we have constructed and analyzed the distribution of spectral indices over the radio relics. We find flat spectral
indices at the outer edges of both the relics and a gradual steepening of spectral indices toward the inner regions. This
supports the model of outgoing merger shock waves. The eastern relic has a complex morphology and spectral index distribution
toward the inner region. This will be discussed in the context of the effect of large-scale accretion flows on the outgoing
merger shocks as reported in the recent simulations. 相似文献

The Tully-Fisher (TF) or the luminosity-linewidth relations of the galaxies in the Eridanus group are constructed using the
HI rotation curves and the luminosities in the optical and in the near-infrared bands. The slopes of the TF relations (absolute
magnitudevs log2V
flat) are −8.6 ± 1.1, −10.0 ±1.5, −10.7 ±2.1, and −9.7 ±1.3 in the R, J, H, and K bands respectively for galaxies having flat
HI rotation curves. These values of the slopes are consistent with those obtained from studies of other groups and clusters.
The scatter in the TF relations is in the range 0.5-1.1 mag in different bands. This scatter is considerably larger compared
to those observed in other groups and clusters. It is suggested that the larger scatter in the TF relations for the Eridanus
group is related to the loose structure of the group. If the TF relations are constructed using the baryonic mass (stellar
+HI + Helium mass) instead of the stellar luminosity, nearly identical slopes are obtained in the R and in the near-infrared
bands. The baryonic TF (baryonic massvs log2V
flat) slope is in the range 3.5–4.1. 相似文献

We present the results of Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of the interacting system Arp86 in both neutral atomic hydrogen, H i , and in radio continuum at 240 606 and 1394 MHz. In addition to H i emission from the two dominant galaxies, NGC 7752 and NGC 7753, these observations show a complex distribution of H i tails and bridges due to tidal interactions. The regions of highest column density appear related to the recent sites of intense star formation. H i column densities ∼1–1.5 × 1021 cm−2 have been detected in the tidal bridge which is bright in Spitzer image as well. We also detect H i emission from the galaxy 2MASX J23470758+2926531, which is shown to be a part of this system. We discuss the possibility that this could be a tidal dwarf galaxy. The radio continuum observations show evidence of a non-thermal bridge between NGC 7752 and NGC 7753, and a radio source in the nuclear region of NGC 7753 consistent with it having a low-ionization nuclear emission region nucleus. 相似文献

The Eridanus galaxies follow the well-known radio—FIR correlation. The majority (70%) of these galaxies have their star formation
rates below that of the Milky Way. The galaxies that have a significant excess of radio emission are identified as low luminosity
AGNs based on their radio morphologies obtained from the GMRT observations. There are no powerful AGNs (L
20cm > 1023 W Hz−1) in the group. The two most far-infrared and radio luminous galaxies in the group have optical and HI morphologies suggestive
of recent tidal interactions. The Eridanus group also has two far-infrared luminous but radio-deficient galaxies. It is believed
that these galaxies are observed within a few Myr of the onset of an intense star formation episode after being quiescent
for at least a 100 Myr. The upper end of the radio luminosity distribution of the Eridanus galaxies (L
20cm ∼ 1022 W Hz−1) is consistent with that of the field galaxies, other groups, and late-type galaxies in nearby clusters. 相似文献

We have carried out the harmonic analysis of the atomic hydrogen (H i ) surface density maps and the velocity fields for 11 galaxies belonging to the Ursa Major group, over a radial range of 4–6 disc scalelengths in each galaxy. This analysis gives the radial variation of spatial lopsidedness, quantified by the Fourier amplitude A 1 of the m = 1 component normalized to the average value. The kinematical analysis gives a value for the elongation of the potential to be ∼10 per cent. The mean amplitude of spatial lopsidedness is found to be ∼0.14 in the inner disc, similar to the field galaxies, and is smaller by a factor of ∼2 compared to the Eridanus group galaxies. It is also shown that the average value of A 1 does not increase with the Hubble type, contrary to what is seen in field galaxies. We argue that the physical origin of lopsidedness in the Ursa Major group of galaxies is tidal interactions, albeit weaker and less frequent than in Eridanus. Thus systematic studies of lopsidedness in groups of galaxies can provide dynamical clues regarding the interactions and evolution of galaxies in a group environment. 相似文献
