与星系团中心强AGN爆发有关的非热辐射

Nonthermal Emission Associated with Strong AGN Outbursts at the Centers of Galaxy Clusters

摘要:

最近在星系团中心发现了强烈的活动星系核爆发,我们利用一个简单的模型,研究了由爆发激发的激波周围的粒子加速,并估算了加速粒子的非热辐射。我们发现,如果在10^8年前有一次能量为1.8 × 10^62 erg的活动星系核爆发,那么次级电子的辐射与英仙座星系团中小晕的射电观测结果是一致的。我们的模型的有效性取决于大爆发的频率。我们还估计了加速粒子的γ射线辐射,并表明它可以用GLAST检测到。

英文摘要:

Recently, strong AGN outbursts at the centers of galaxy clusters have been found. Using a simple model, we study particle acceleration around a shock excited by an outburst and estimate nonthermal emission from the accelerated particles. We show that emission from secondary electrons is consistent with the radio observations of the minihalo in the Perseus cluster, if there was a strong AGN outburst >~10^8 yrs ago with an energy of ~1.8x10^62 erg. The validity of our model depends on the frequency of the large outbursts. We also estimate gamma-ray emission from the accelerated particles and show that it could be detected with GLAST.
