摘要:

我们提出了一个新的朱雀数据和档案数据从XMM-牛顿的星系团Sersic 159-03,它有一个强大的软X射线过量发射组件的分析。朱雀的观测证实了软过量发射的存在,但它并没有证实红移OVII线的存在。XMM-牛顿观测的径向剖面图和2D图表明,软过量发射在中央cD星系的位置有一个很强的峰值,这些图没有显示出任何显着的方位角变化。虽然软过量排放可以同样很好地拟合与热和非热模型,其空间分布既不符合集团间的暖热灯丝的模型,也不与clueclamped温暖的集团内气体与下降集团的模型。使用XMM-牛顿反射光栅光谱仪获得的数据,我们不确认在集群中心的温暖气体的存在与预期的属性假设软过剩是热起源。观测到的软过量发射的性质与非热解释是一致的。虽然高密度的相对论性电子与软发射的峰值在集群中心可能已经提供了一个活动星系核在中央的cD星系,潜在的人口可能已被加速扩散冲击。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of new Suzaku data and archival data from XMM-Newton of the cluster of galaxies Sersic 159-03, which has a strong soft X-ray excess emission component. The Suzaku observation confirms the presence of the soft excess emission, but it does not confirm the presence of redshifted OVII lines in the cluster. Radial profiles and 2D maps derived from XMM-Newton observations show that the soft excess emission has a strong peak at the position of the central cD galaxy and the maps do not show any significant azimuthal variations. Although the soft excess emission can be fitted equally well with both thermal and non-thermal models, its spatial distribution is neither consistent with the models of intercluster warm-hot filaments, nor with models of clumpy warm intracluster gas associated with infalling groups. Using the data obtained by the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometers we do not confirm the presence of the warm gas in the cluster centre with the expected properties assuming the soft excess is of thermal origin. The observed properties of the soft excess emission are consistent with the non-thermal interpretation. While the high density of relativistic electrons associated with the peak of the soft emission in the cluster centre might have been provided by an active galactic nucleus in the central cD galaxy, the underlying population might have been accelerated in diffuse shocks.
