摘要:

本文分析了Chandra资料库中12个红移范围在0.1- 0.3的星系团的温度和金属丰度分布,它们的净ACIS计数至少为20,000,kT>6 keV。我们将样本分为7个冷却核心(CC)和5个非冷却核心(NCC)集群根据其中央冷却时间。我们发现,单一的幂律可以正确地描述在CC和NCC系统的半径大于0.1 r_180的温度和金属丰度的配置文件,显示NCC对象陡峭的配置文件向外。仅在内部0.1 r_180中存在显著偏差。我们将我们的样本与De Grandi & Molendi BeppoSAX的本地CC和NCC集群样本进行了比较,发现CC集群配置文件完全一致,NCC集群内部区域的值略高(约为1 sigma)。描述kT(r)在0.1 r_180以内的幂律斜率与宇宙在星系团红移处的冷却时间和年龄之间的比值密切相关,在CC系统中斜率>0,τ_c/τ_age<=0.6。

英文摘要:

We present the analysis of the temperature and metallicity profiles of 12 galaxy clusters in the redshift range 0.1--0.3 selected from the Chandra archive with at least ~20,000 net ACIS counts and kT>6 keV. We divide the sample between 7 Cooling-Core (CC) and 5 Non-Cooling-Core (NCC) clusters according to their central cooling time. We find that single power-laws can describe properly both the temperature and metallicity profiles at radii larger than 0.1 r_180 in both CC and NCC systems, showing the NCC objects steeper profiles outwards. A significant deviation is only present in the inner 0.1 r_180. We perform a comparison of our sample with the De Grandi & Molendi BeppoSAX sample of local CC and NCC clusters, finding a complete agreement in the CC cluster profile and a marginally higher value (at ~1sigma) in the inner regions of the NCC clusters. The slope of the power-law describing kT(r) within 0.1 r_180 correlates strongly with the ratio between the cooling time and the age of the Universe at the cluster redshift, being the slope >0 and tau_c/tau_age<=0.6 in CC systems.
