与Hydra A系统中更大尺度AGN爆发有关的Gamma-ray发射

Gamma-ray emission associated with the Cluster-scale AGN Outbursts in the Hydra A system

W. Domainko, J. A. Hinton, E. C. D. Pope

摘要:

最近的观测表明,在长蛇座A星系团中存在一个能量大于10^61尔格的活动星系核爆发。这次爆发在星系团内部的介质中产生了空洞,显然是由宇宙射线的压力支持的。在这里,我们认为,如果这些空腔充满了> GeV的粒子,这些粒子很可能是质子和原子核。对于一个合理的目标气体的空间分布,基于观测和流体动力学模拟,我们表明,这些宇宙射线的π ^0衰变伽马射线可以用H.E.S.S.实验检测到。

英文摘要:

Recent observations have revealed the existence of an enormously energetic > 10^61 erg AGN outburst in the Hydra A cluster of galaxies. This outburst has produced cavities in the intra-cluster medium, apparently supported by pressure from cosmic rays. Here we argue that if these cavities are filled with > GeV particles, these particles are very likely protons and nuclei. For a plausible spatial distribution of the target gas, based on observations and hydrodynamical simulations, we show that the pi^0-decay gamma-rays from these cosmic-rays may be detectable with the H.E.S.S.experiment.
