本文讨论了一个离散的致密射电源(NGC 4725 B)的性质,它位于离恒星形成星系NGC 4725的核心约1.9 kpc处,我们认为这是一个新的河外异常微波发射(AME)探测。基于在3、15、22、33和44 GHz的探测,NGC 4725 B是一个峰值在133 GHz的微扬斯基射电源。虽然在光学(BVRI)测光中没有识别出该源,但我们在中红外斯皮策/IRAC波段(3.6,4.5,5.8,8.0 μm)中检测到了对应物,这些对应物似乎与NGC 4725中心区域的尘埃排放有关。因此,我们的结论是,NGC 4725 B是一个新的AME检测,是非常相似的,最近检测到的AME在外盘恒星形成区的NGC 6946。我们发现,从快速旋转的超小颗粒的电偶极子发射的模型能够再现合理的星际介质条件下的无线电频谱。由于缺乏光学对应物和射电频谱的形状,NGC 4725 B似乎与新生恒星形成区相一致,在该区域中,年轻的(约1300万年)大质量恒星仍然被它们纳塔尔时的气体和尘埃茧高度包裹,没有足够的超新星产生可测量的同步辐射。
We discuss the nature of a discrete, compact radio source (NGC 4725 B) located ≈1.9 kpc from the nucleus in the nearby star-forming galaxy NGC 4725, which we believe to be a new detection of extragalactic anomalous microwave emission (AME). Based on detections at 3, 15, 22, 33, and 44 GHz, NGC 4725 B is a microjansky radio source peaking at ≈33 GHz. While the source is not identified in optical (BVRI) photometry, we detect counterparts in the midinfrared Spitzer/IRAC bands (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0 μm) that appear to be associated with dust emission in the central region of NGC 4725. Consequently, we conclude that NGC 4725 B is a new detection of AME and is very similar to a recent detection of AME in an outer-disk star-forming region in NGC 6946. We find that models of electric dipole emission from rapidly rotating ultra-small grains are able to reproduce the radio spectrum for reasonable interstellar medium conditions. Given the lack of an optical counterpart and the shape of the radio spectrum, NGC 4725 B appears consistent with a nascent star-forming region in which young (≲3 Myr) massive stars are still highly enshrouded by their natal cocoons of gas and dust with insufficient supernovae occurring to produce a measurable amount of synchrotron emission.
