摘要:

越来越多的证据表明,星系团中与中央椭圆星系相关的活动星系核(AGN)在团内介质(ICM)和星系团自身的演化中起着重要的作用。我们使用高分辨率的三维模拟来研究活动星系核外流(气泡)与周围ICM所产生的空腔的相互作用。利用观测到的室女星系团的温度和密度分布模拟了星系团的引力势。我们证明了流体动力学的库塔-Zhukovsky力与涡环结构的气泡的重要性,并讨论了扩散过程对它们的演变可能产生的影响。

英文摘要:

There is growing evidence that the active galactic nuclei (AGN) associated with the central elliptical galaxy in clusters of galaxies are playing an important role in the evolution of the intracluster medium (ICM) and clusters themselves. We use high resolution three-dimensional simulations to study the interaction of the cavities created by AGN outflows (bubbles) with the ambient ICM. The gravitational potential of the cluster is modelled using the observed temperature and density profiles of the Virgo cluster. We demonstrate the importance of the hydrodynamical Kutta-Zhukovsky forces associated with the vortex ring structure of the bubbles, and discuss possible effects of diffusive processes on their evolution.
