摘要:

我们提出了一个全面的质量重建丰富的星系团Cl 0024+17在z~0.4从ACS数据,统一强和弱透镜约束。来自密集分布的背景星系(每平方角分约120个)的弱透镜信号使得能够推导出高分辨率的无参数质量图。强透镜天体在绝对尺度上严格约束了星团内部区域的质量结构,打破了质量片简并。用这种方法得到的Cl 0024+17的质量重构是显著的。它揭示了一个环状的暗物质亚结构在r~75”周围的软,致密的核心在r~50”。我们将这种特殊的子结构解释为1-2 Gyr前两个大质量星系团高速视线碰撞的结果。这样的事件也可以用星系团的速度分布来表示。我们对纯无碰撞粒子的数值模拟表明,这种密度波动可能是由径向膨胀、减速的粒子引起的,这些粒子最初包括碰撞前的核心。Cl 0024+17可以与子弹状星团1 E 0657 -56相比较,但在更晚的时期被认为是碰撞轴$along$。此外,我们表明,长期存在的质量差异Cl 0024+17之间的X射线和透镜可以解决通过治疗的集群X射线发射来自两个X射线系统的叠加。星团不寻常的X射线表面亮度轮廓,需要两个等温球的描述支持这一假设。

英文摘要:

We present a comprehensive mass reconstruction of the rich galaxy cluster Cl 0024+17 at z~0.4 from ACS data, unifying both strong- and weak-lensing constraints. The weak-lensing signal from a dense distribution of background galaxies (~120 per square arcmin) across the cluster enables the derivation of a high-resolution parameter-free mass map. The strongly-lensed objects tightly constrain the mass structure of the cluster inner region on an absolute scale, breaking the mass-sheet degeneracy. The mass reconstruction of Cl 0024+17 obtained in such a way is remarkable. It reveals a ringlike dark matter substructure at r~75" surrounding a soft, dense core at r~50". We interpret this peculiar sub-structure as the result of a high-speed line-of-sight collision of two massive clusters 1-2 Gyr ago. Such an event is also indicated by the cluster velocity distribution. Our numerical simulation with purely collisionless particles demonstrates that such density ripples can arise by radially expanding, decelerating particles that originally comprised the pre-collision cores. Cl 0024+17 can be likened to the bullet cluster 1E0657-56, but viewed $along$ the collision axis at a much later epoch. In addition, we show that the long-standing mass discrepancy for Cl 0024+17 between X-ray and lensing can be resolved by treating the cluster X-ray emission as coming from a superposition of two X-ray systems. The cluster's unusual X-ray surface brightness profile that requires a two isothermal sphere description supports this hypothesis.
