Ultra-long wavelength polarization and interstellar medium

XSXiaohui SunSHShuqing HeHZHui Zhu

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the characteristics of the interstellar medium and cosmic rays using ultra-long wavelength observations.
  • Conduct polarization observations across frequencies from 0.1 to 30 MHz.
  • Measure Faraday rotation with precision better than 10^-3 rad m^-2.
  • Analyze the distribution of magnetic fields and densities in local interstellar space.
  • Identified polarized radiation from nearby interstellar space.
  • Constructed a 3D model of cosmic ray electron density and magnetic fields.
  • Laid groundwork for understanding the origins of the local bubble in the galaxy.

Abstract

鸿蒙计划的超长波段(0.1-30 MHz)成图观测为研究银河系星际介质打开了新窗口。多频率通道偏振观测将首次获得该频率范围内的偏振天图,探测到距离我们最近的星际空间的偏振辐射,并能最精确的测定法拉第旋率,精度将超过10-3 rad m-2,从而完整呈现本地泡的磁场、热电子密度和宇宙线电子密度空间分布,结合多波段观测数据,将帮助理解本地泡的起源。在超长波段,电离氢区是光厚的。对大量电离氢区的观测将能测定银河系同步辐射率的三维分布,并能独立地构造星际介质磁场和宇宙线电子密度模型。在超长波段,电离氢区周围的低密度气体包层也导致自由-自由吸收。通过几个频率的观测,将能同时获得辐射率和不透明度,从而能够首次对低密度气体包层进行大样本研究,理解电离过程以及银河系弥漫热电子的起源。
