Observations of metals in the intra-cluster medium

摘要:

由于它们深的引力势阱,星系团保留了所有由成员星系的恒星星族产生的金属。这些金属大部分存在于热等离子体中,而热等离子体支配着团簇的重子含量。这使它们成为研究宇宙核合成和化学富集历史的优秀实验室。在这里,我们回顾的历史,目前的可能性和限制的丰度研究,和目前的观测状态的X射线测量的化学成分的集群内介质。我们总结了最新的进展,在使用集群的丰度模式,把超新星的理论模型的限制,我们展示了集群的丰度如何提供新的见解到宇宙的恒星形成的历史。

英文摘要:

Because of their deep gravitational potential wells, clusters of galaxies retain all the metals produced by the stellar populations of the member galaxies. Most of these metals reside in the hot plasma which dominates the baryon content of clusters. This makes them excellent laboratories for the study of the nucleosynthesis and chemical enrichment history of the Universe. Here we review the history, current possibilities and limitations of the abundance studies, and the present observational status of X-ray measurements of the chemical composition of the intra-cluster medium. We summarise the latest progress in using the abundance patterns in clusters to put constraints on theoretical models of supernovae and we show how cluster abundances provide new insights into the star-formation history of the Universe.
