摘要:

目标。射电晕的统计特性可用于区分其起源的可能模型。因此,在这方面进行公正和详尽的调查至关重要。方法.考虑到这一目标,本文中我们修正了红移范围0-0.4的射电晕的出现,结合了低红移(z<0.2)的XBAC星团与NVSS的统计研究(由Giovannini等,1999)与我们最近的结果,从射电跟踪的REFLEX和eBCS星团,GMRT射电晕调查,在较高的红移(0.2<z<0.4)。结果我们发现一个显着的统计证据(在3.7西格玛)的增加与父集群的X射线光度(质量)的射电晕集群的分数,并表明这种增加是符合统计计算的基础上再加速的情况。我们认为,这种情况下的一个基本期望是,在百兆赫发射的无线电晕的概率大于在GHz频率,因此,未来的无线电干涉仪在低频率下工作,如LOFAR和LWA,应该检测到更多的无线电晕相对于目前GHz的观测捕获。我们还表明,预期增加的部分集群与无线电晕与集群质量的测量与未来的LOFAR和LWA调查应不太强,比目前的调查。

英文摘要:

Aims. The statistical properties of radio halos can be used to discriminate among the possible models for their origin. Therefore an unbiased and exhaustive investigation in this direction is crucial. Methods. With this goal in mind in this paper we revise the occurrence of radio halos in the redshift range 0-0.4, combining the low redshift (z<0.2) statistical study of XBACs clusters with the NVSS (by Giovannini et al. 1999) with our recent results from the radio follow up of REFLEX and eBCS clusters, the GMRT radio halo survey, at higher redshift (0.2<z<0.4). Results. We find a significant statistical evidence (at 3.7 sigma) of an increase of the fraction of clusters with Radio Halos with the X-ray luminosity (mass) of the parent clusters and show that this increase is in line with statistical calculations based on the re-acceleration scenario. We argue that a fundamental expectation of this scenario is that the probability to have radio halos emitting at hundred MHz is larger than that at GHz frequencies and thus that future radio interferometers operating at low frequencies, such as LOFAR and LWA, should detect a larger number of radio halos with respect to that caught by present GHz observations. We also show that the expected increase of the fraction of clusters with radio halos with the cluster mass as measured with future LOFAR and LWA surveys should be less strong than that in present surveys.
