摘要:

本文介绍了利用SOAR光学成像相机对附近(z=0.035)X射线星系团2A 0335 +096中最亮的星系团(BCG)进行的深发射线成像。我们分析长缝光谱,档案VLA,钱德拉X射线,和XMM紫外数据。2A 0335 +096是一个明亮的冷核X射线星团,曾被称为冷却流。在钱德拉X射线观测揭示的高度扰动的核心内,2A 0335 +096拥有一个高度结构化的光学发射线系统。这颗伴星的红移距离BCG不到100 km/s,并且肯定与BCG发生了相互作用,并且很可能与它绑定。光学和射电图像的比较显示,在解析的射电源周围有H-α发射的弯曲灯丝。BCG核和伴星系之间的发射线棒的速度结构提供了强有力的证据,表明在过去的~50万年两者之间的相互作用。射电源的年龄与相互作用时间相似,因此这种相互作用可能引发了一段无线电活动。我们根据Halpha和存档的紫外线数据估计恒星形成率为>7太阳质量/年,这一速度类似于但略低于彼得森和工作人员根据XMM光谱估计的修正后的X射线冷却率10-30太阳质量/年。阿尔法星云局限于一个高X射线表面亮度和低X射线温度的区域。氢-α和X射线气体的详细结构不同。X射线发射峰不是H-α发射峰,也不位于BCG中。射电瓣的估计年龄及其与光学发射线气体的相互作用,冷气体耗尽和积累的估计时间尺度,以及系统中的动力学时间都是相似的,这表明了一个共同的触发机制。

英文摘要:

We present deep emission-line imaging taken with the SOAR Optical Imaging Camera of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the nearby (z=0.035) X-ray cluster 2A0335+096. We analyze long-slit optical spectroscopy, archival VLA, Chandra X-ray, and XMM UV data. 2A0335+096 is a bright, cool-core X-ray cluster, once known as a cooling flow. Within the highly disturbed core revealed by Chandra X-ray observations, 2A0335+096 hosts a highly structured optical emission-line system. The redshift of the companion is within 100 km/s of the BCG and has certainly interacted with the BCG, and is likely bound to it. The comparison of optical and radio images shows curved filaments in H-alpha emission surrounding the resolved radio source. The velocity structure of the emission-line bar between the BCG nucleus and the companion galaxy provides strong evidence for an interaction between the two in the last ~50 Myrs. The age of the radio source is similar to the interaction time, so this interaction may have provoked an episode of radio activity. We estimate a star formation rate of >7 solar mass/yr based on the Halpha and archival UV data, a rate similar to, but somewhat lower than, the revised X-ray cooling rate of 10-30 solar masses/year estimated from XMM spectra by Peterson & workers. The Halpha nebula is limited to a region of high X-ray surface brightness and cool X-ray temperature. The detailed structures of H-alpha and X-ray gas differ. The peak of the X-ray emission is not the peak of H-alpha emission, nor does it lie in the BCG. The estimated age of the radio lobes and their interaction with the optical emission-line gas, the estimated timescale for depletion and accumulation of cold gas, and the dynamical time in the system are all similar, suggesting a common trigger mechanism.
