摘要:

本文介绍了在红序星系团巡天(RCS:RCS 043938 -2904.7)中发现的一个高红移(z~1)星系团的钱德拉观测结果。X射线光度测量和质量估计与从低红移数据得到的L_X-T_X和M_delta-T_X关系是一致的。假设一个单一的集群,X射线质量估计是一个因素的10-100低于红色序列的光学丰富的质量估计。光谱学显示,这个星系团由两个成分组成,这两个成分足够接近,可能在物理上有关联。我们提出了简单的建模,然后产生一个X射线质量和光学丰富度与预期的低红移集群的统计样本。一个意想不到的高气体质量分数的测量假设一个单一的集群,独立支持这种解释。需要进行额外的观测,以确认过量气体的质量分数并限制质量分布。

英文摘要:

We present new Chandra observations of a high redshift (z~1) galaxy cluster discovered in the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS): RCS043938-2904.7. X-ray luminosity measurements and mass estimates are consistent with L_X-T_X and M_delta-T_X relationships obtained from low-redshift data. Assuming a single cluster, X-ray mass estimates are a factor of ~10-100 below the red-sequence optical richness mass estimate. Optical spectroscopy reveals that this cluster comprises two components which are close enough to perhaps be physically associated. We present simple modeling of this two-component system which then yields an X-ray mass and optical richness consistent with expectations from statistical samples of lower redshift clusters. An unexpectedly high gas mass fraction is measured assuming a single cluster, which independently supports this interpretation. Additional observations will be necessary to confirm the excess gas mass fraction and to constrain the mass distribution.
