Anomalous emission from HII regions
نویسنده
چکیده
Spinning dust appears to be the best explanation for the anomalous emission that has been observed at ∼ 10 − 60 GHz. One of the best examples of spinning dust comes from a HII region in the Perseus molecular cloud. Observations of other HII regions also show tentative evidence for excess emission at frequencies ∼ 30 GHz, although at lower emissivity levels. A new detection of excess emission at 31 GHz in the HII region RCW175 has been made. The most plausible explanation again comes from spinning dust. HII regions are a good place to look for spinning dust as long as accurate radio data spanning the ∼ 5− 100 GHz range is available.

ANOMALOUS MICROWAVE EMISSION FROM THE Hii REGION RCW175
We present evidence for anomalous microwave emission in the RCW175 Hii region. Motivated by 33 GHz 13 resolution data from the Very Small Array (VSA), we observed RCW175 at 31 GHz with the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) at a resolution of 4. The region consists of two distinct components, G29.0-0.6 and G29.1-0.7, which are detected at high signal-to-noise ratio. The integrated flux density is 5...
متن کامل0 Radio Continuum and Recombination Line Study of UC H II Regions with Extended Envelopes
We have carried out 21 cm radio continuum observations of 16 UC HII regions using the VLA (D-array) in a search for associated extended emission. We have also observed H76α recombination line towards all the sources and He76α line at the positions with strong H76α line emission. The UC HII regions have simple morphologies and large (∼ >10) ratios of single-dish to VLA fluxes. We detected extend...
متن کاملStudies of Ultracompact HII Regions - I . Methanol
A survey of ultracompact (UC) HII regions has been carried out by searching for 6.669GHz methanol maser emission from a sample of 535 IRAS selected candidates. A total of 201 candidates exhibit methanol emission. These sources have been used, in conjunction with previously identiied UC HII regions, to provide a base for further studies of such regions. Estimates of distances have indicated that...
متن کاملFullerenes and PAHs in space
Theoretical, observational and laboratory work on the new form of carbon known as fullerenes and its hydrogenated forms (fulleranes) are reviewed. These molecules can be responsible of diffuse interstellar bands, the UV bump, a major feature in the extinction curves measured in many lines of sight in our Galaxy and other galaxies and the anomalous microwave emission detected in several regions ...
متن کاملA Pressure Anomaly for HII Regions in Irregular Galaxies
The pressures of giant HII regions in 6 dwarf Irregular galaxies are found to be a factor of ∼ 10 larger than the average pressures of the corresponding galaxy disks, obtained from the stellar and gaseous column densities. This is unlike the situation for spiral galaxies where these two pressures are approximately equal. Either the HII regions in these dwarfs are all so young that they are stil...
