摘要:

我们提出了一个深(1.1毫秒)的后发座星系团在18-30千电子伏波段与IBIS/ISGRI成像仪上的INTEGRAL卫星观测的结果。我们发现,在东北到西南(SW)方向($\sim 17'$)的源扩展显着超过ISGRI的点扩散函数的大小,并在18-30 keV波段的源的图像的质心在SW方向相比,在1-10 keV波段的质心位移。为了测试SW扩展的性质,我们假设源形态的不同模型来拟合数据。最好的拟合是用椭圆形的漫射源实现的,尽管可以实现可接受的拟合,假设簇核心的附加点源SW。在椭圆形源的情况下,源的延伸方向与落在后发座星系团上的子星系团的方向一致。如果SW过剩是由于存在一个点源与硬谱,我们表明,没有明显的X射线对应的额外的源,最近的X射线源是类星体EXO 1256+281,它位于$6.1'$从质心的过剩。最后,我们表明,硬X射线发射与1.4 GHz的无线电发射相一致,这表明硬X射线发射来自相同的电子人口,负责通过同步辐射的无线电晕。

英文摘要:

We present the results of a deep (1.1 Ms) observation of the Coma cluster of galaxies in the 18-30 keV band with the IBIS/ISGRI imager on board the INTEGRAL satellite. We show that the source extension in the North-East to South-West (SW) direction ($\sim 17'$) significantly exceeds the size of the point spread function of ISGRI, and that the centroid of the image of the source in the 18-30 keV band is displaced in the SW direction compared to the centroid in the 1-10 keV band. To test the nature of the SW extension we fit the data assuming different models of source morphology. The best fit is achieved with a diffuse source of elliptical shape, although an acceptable fit can be achieved assuming an additional point source SW of the cluster core. In the case of an elliptical source, the direction of extension of the source coincides with the direction toward the subcluster falling onto the Coma cluster. If the SW excess is due to the presence of a point source with a hard spectrum, we show that there is no obvious X-ray counterpart for this additional source, and that the closest X-ray source is the quasar EXO 1256+281, which is located $6.1'$ from the centroid of the excess. Finally, we show that the hard X-ray emission coincides with the 1.4 GHz radio emission, which suggests that the hard X-ray emission comes from the same population of electrons that is responsible for radio haloes through synchrotron emission.
