术语表Glossary

术语Term 解释Meaning
CGMCGMcircumgalactic medium,星系周介质:星系晕中约 10⁶–10⁷ K 的稀薄电离气体,藏有大部分「失踪重子」。circumgalactic medium: thin ionised gas at ~10⁶–10⁷ K in a galaxy's halo, holding most of the "missing baryons".
CGMsumCGMsum项目记号:一条视线上的冷热总和 S_tot = S_M31 + S_MW(可选第三项 S_LG)。v19 里名为 MWhalo 的共享分量测的就是它。project notation: the cool line-of-sight sum S_tot = S_M31 + S_MW (optional third term S_LG). In v19 the shared component named MWhalo measures exactly this.
LHBLHBLocal Hot Bubble,本地热泡:太阳周围约 0.1 keV 的热气体空腔,是所有软 X 射线视线的近端前景。Local Hot Bubble: a cavity of ~0.1 keV hot gas around the Sun, the near foreground of every soft X-ray sightline.
MW haloMW halo银河系热晕:银河系自身的百万度气体,M31 方向的前景,与 M31 CGM 谱形几乎相同(I006)。the Milky Way hot halo: the MW's own million-degree gas, the foreground toward M31, spectrally almost identical to the M31 CGM (I006).
LHB vs Local Hot BridgeLHB vs Local Hot Bridge注意歧义:LHB 一般指太阳邻域的泡;Local Hot Bridge(Qu+2021)指银河系与 M31 之间桥状的群内热气体(kT≈0.189 keV)。两者缩写像但完全不同——本站写全称区分。mind the ambiguity: LHB usually means the solar-neighbourhood bubble; the Local Hot Bridge (Qu+2021) means bridge-shaped intragroup hot gas between the MW and M31 (kT≈0.189 keV). Similar abbreviations, completely different things — this site spells both out.
CXBCXBcosmic X-ray background:远处未分辨 AGN/星系的幂律背景(Γ≈1.46)。cosmic X-ray background: the power-law background (Γ≈1.46) of distant unresolved AGN/galaxies.
QPBQPBquiescent particle background:粒子在 CCD 里沉积电荷形成的稳定背景,用视场外角区事件估计并直接减除。quiescent particle background: the steady background from particles depositing charge in the CCD, estimated from out-of-field corner events and subtracted.
SPSPsoft protons,软质子:被磁层聚焦、随时耀发的质子,逐谱用折断幂律拟合。soft protons: protons focused by the magnetosphere, flaring on all timescales, fitted per spectrum as a broken power law.
SWCXSWCXsolar-wind charge exchange:太阳风离子与中性氢的电荷交换线发射,随太阳风强度变化(E014 已检验并排除它作为外 NW 超出的解释,D49)。solar-wind charge exchange: line emission from charge exchange between solar-wind ions and neutral hydrogen, varying with the solar wind (E014 tested and excluded it as the explanation for the outer-NW excess, D49).
ARF / RMFARF / RMFeffective area / response matrix:把光子流量变成计数谱的两件标定文件(physics.html §1 有算例)。the effective area / response matrix: the two calibration files that turn photon flux into a count spectrum (physics.html §1 has a worked example).
APECAPEC碰撞电离平衡等离子体发射模型;参数 kT(温度)、Z(丰度)、norm(∝ 发射量/4πD²)。a collisional-ionisation-equilibrium plasma emission model; parameters kT, Z, norm (∝ emission measure / 4πD²).
N_HN_H中性氢柱密度(1e22 cm⁻²);本项目用 HI4PI 逐指向 15 arcmin 孔径的原子 N_HI。neutral-hydrogen column (1e22 cm⁻²); this project uses the per-pointing 15-arcmin aperture atomic N_HI from HI4PI.
HI4PIHI4PI全天 21 cm 中性氢巡天,分辨率 16.2 arcmin,N_H 的来源图。the all-sky 21-cm neutral-hydrogen survey, 16.2 arcmin resolution, the source map for N_H.
RASSRASSROSAT All-Sky Survey:1990–91 年的全天软 X 射线巡天;R1–R7 能带,R4+R5(≈0.44–1.21 keV)与本项目能带最接近。the ROSAT All-Sky Survey: the 1990–91 all-sky soft X-ray survey; bands R1–R7, with R4+R5 (≈0.44–1.21 keV) closest to this project's band.
eROSITAeROSITAROSAT 的现代继任者(eRASS 巡天);Zhang+2024 的星系叠加剖面与 Locatelli+2024 的银河系模型都来自它。ROSAT's modern successor (the eRASS survey); both the Zhang+2024 galaxy stack profile and the Locatelli+2024 MW model come from it.
β 模型modelS(r) = S₀(1+(r/r_c)²)^(−3β+1/2):等温球投影亮度的标准参数化。S(r) = S₀(1+(r/r_c)²)^(−3β+1/2): the standard parameterisation of an isothermal sphere's projected brightness (S₀ is the central value).
profile likelihoodprofile likelihood轮廓似然:固定目标参数、重优化其余参数得到的统计量曲线;区间用 Δstat 阈值(1 参数 68%: Δ=1;单侧 95%: Δ=2.71)。fix the parameter of interest, re-optimise the rest, and read intervals off the statistic curve (1 free parameter: Δ=1 for 68%; Δ=2.71 for one-sided 95%).
Δχ² / ΔstatΔχ² / Δstat两个模型的统计量之差;嵌套模型差 1 参数时 Δχ²≈1 表示无信息,Δχ²=6.2≈2.5σ。the statistic difference between two models; for nested models differing by 1 parameter, Δχ²≈1 means no information and Δχ²=6.2 is about 2.5σ.
