2 ● Background ● Survey purpose and outline ● Results so far ...Since last time: – Bad 7mm data retaken (1647, 1708, 0526) – 12mm data taken and processed Jarryd Hawkes Adelaide University ISM Studies Towards Magnetars Nanten2 Workshop 2015

3 What are they? Previously made up of two classes of object – AXPs and SGRs ● Exhibit both persistant and bursting/flaring x-ray emission – Period 2-12 seconds, 10 -12 - 10 -10 s/s ˙ – P Luminosities in soft and hard X-rays are greater than their ● rotational energy loss Thought to be powered by – their intense magnetic field (>10 14 G) Black dots - radio pulsars, red symbols - all known magnetars From N. Rea et al. 2012 ApJ 754 27 Jarryd Hawkes Adelaide University ISM Studies Towards Magnetars Nanten2 Workshop 2015

4 Why look at them? Search for link between magnetars and TeV gamma-ray emission and ● investigate their emission mechanisms and energetics Unknown whether magnetars are able to accelerate particles to TeV ● energies. Spin down power of magnetars ~10 32-34 erg/s, but magnetic dissipation effects – may yield luminosity of ~10 35-36 erg/s (Zhang 2003, In Proc) Look for evidence of the impact of magnetars on the ISM ● As high energy objects with extreme B fields, we expect high energy outflows – High energy emission traced by disturbance of the ISM – ● Emission from shocked and disrupted gas Dense gas / TeV associations ● Discrimination between hadronic / leptonic – origin of gamma-rays Clues to the acceleration processes in – the region Jarryd Hawkes Adelaide University ISM Studies Towards Magnetars Nanten2 Workshop 2015

5 Why look at them? Understand the environment & ways in which these objects are ● formed Magnetars thought to be born to high mass progenitors, many found in – massive stellar clusters High spin-down rates of magnetars – CXOU J171405.7-381031 imply they are young objects (<10 5 yrs) ● Currently 8 of 25 magnetars found towards visible SNRs So, look for evidence of star – formation towards magnetars in the ISM Dense gas/magnetar associations may – allow for precise distance estimates ● Better luminosity and age estimates γ-ray excess, MGPS contours From Aharonian et al.

6 Targeted Campaign Utilizing the Mopra radio telescope ● Deep pointings towards each magnetar in the 7mm and 12mm ● bands 1x30 min On/Off pointing – Tracers targeted: – ● CS, NH3, ... -> Cold, dense gas (density, optical depth, temperature) ● SiO, CH3OH, H2O, ... -> Star formation, outflows, shocked gas ● RRLs -> Ionised Gas (HII regions) Follow-up mapping of sources with ● Credit ATNF emission to reveal gas morphology and any relation to nearby objects Also looking at molecular/atomic ● carbon data from the Nanten, MopraCO and HEAT CI surveys Jarryd Hawkes Adelaide University ISM Studies Towards Magnetars Nanten2 Workshop 2015
