Planck view of the M 82 galaxy


Gurzadyan, V G; De Paolis, F; Nucita, A A; Ingrosso, G; Kashin, A L; Khachatryan, H G; Sargsyan, S; Yegorian, G; Jetzer, P; Qadir, A; Vetrugno, D (2015). Planck view of the M 82 galaxy. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 582:A77.

Abstract

Planck data towards the galaxy M82 are analyzed in the 70, 100 and 143 GHz bands. A substantial north-south and east-west temperature asymmetry is found, extending up to 1deg. from the galactic center. Being almost frequency-independent, these temperature asymmetries are indicative of a Doppler-induced effect regarding the line-of-sight dynamics on the halo scale, the ejections from the galactic center and, possibly, even the tidal interaction with M81 galaxy. The temperature asymmetry thus acts as a model-independent tool to reveal the bulk dynamics in nearby edge-on spiral galaxies, like the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect for clusters of galaxies.
