摘要:

富星系团Abell 520(z=0.201)表现出真正极端和令人困惑的多波长特性。它最好被描述为“宇宙训练残骸。“这是一个重大的合并,显示了大量的冲压压力剥离的证据,与星系相比,气体分布有明显的偏移(如子弹星系团1 E 0657-558)。然而,在我们的弱透镜质量重建中,最引人注目的特征是一个巨大的暗核(721 h_70 M_sun/L_sun)。核心与中央X射线发射峰重合,但基本上没有星系。一个异常低的质量与光比区域位于500 kpc以东,与星团射电观测中可见的激波特征相吻合。虽然X射线气体和星系/暗物质分布之间的位移可能是合并的预期,没有星系的质量峰不能很容易地解释在当前的无碰撞暗物质范式。有趣的是,积分气体质量分数(~0.15),质光比(220 h_70 M_sun/L_sun),和位置上的X射线光度-温度和质量-温度关系是不显着的。因此,总的属性和标度关系并不总是有用的指标的动力学状态的集群。

英文摘要:

The rich cluster Abell 520 (z=0.201) exhibits truly extreme and puzzling multi-wavelength characteristics. It may best be described as a "cosmic train wreck." It is a major merger showing abundant evidence for ram pressure stripping, with a clear offset in the gas distribution compared to the galaxies (as in the bullet cluster 1E 0657-558). However, the most striking feature is a massive dark core (721 h_70 M_sun/L_sun) in our weak lensing mass reconstruction. The core coincides with the central X-ray emission peak, but is largely devoid of galaxies. An unusually low mass to light ratio region lies 500 kpc to the east, and coincides with a shock feature visible in radio observations of the cluster. Although a displacement between the X-ray gas and the galaxy/dark matter distributions may be expected in a merger, a mass peak without galaxies cannot be easily explained within the current collisionless dark matter paradigm. Interestingly, the integrated gas mass fraction (~0.15), mass-to-light ratio (220 h_70 M_sun/L_sun), and position on the X-ray luminosity-temperature and mass-temperature relations are unremarkable. Thus gross properties and scaling relations are not always useful indicators of the dynamical state of clusters.
