我们提出了迄今为止进行的圆极化最敏感的无线电调查的68个源的检测。我们使用144 MHz LOFAR两米巡天的第二次数据发布,以140 µJy光束-1的中值噪声和20“的分辨率为北方天空(5634 deg 2)的1.27%生成圆偏振图。总强度泄漏到圆偏振的测量是0.06%,我们的调查是完整的通量密度≥1 mJy。当圆偏振部分超过1%时,检测被认为是可靠的。我们发现,人口的圆偏振源是由四个不同的类:恒星系统,恒星,活动星系核,和来源不明的文献。恒星系统可以进一步分为色球活跃星、M矮星和棕矮星。基于圆偏振部分和缺乏光学对应物,我们表明可以推断不明来源是否可能是未知的恒星或棕矮星。在完成对北方天空的巡天时,我们预计将探测到300±100个圆偏振源。
We present the detection of 68 sources from the most sensitive radio survey in circular polarisation conducted to date. We used the second data release of the 144 MHz LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey to produce circularly polarised maps with a median noise of 140 µJy beam−1and resolution of 20″ for ≈27% of the northern sky (5634 deg2). The leakage of total intensity into circular polarisation is measured to be ≈0.06%, and our survey is complete at flux densities ≥1 mJy. A detection is considered reliable when the circularly polarised fraction exceeds 1%. We find the population of circularly polarised sources is composed of four distinct classes: stellar systems, pulsars, active galactic nuclei, and sources unidentified in the literature. The stellar systems can be further separated into chromospherically active stars, M dwarfs, and brown dwarfs. Based on the circularly polarised fraction and lack of an optical counterpart, we show it is possible to infer whether the unidentified sources are likely unknown pulsars or brown dwarfs. By the completion of this survey of the northern sky, we expect to detect 300±100 circularly polarised sources.
