星系团中的自相似激波和风

Self-Similar Shocks and Winds in Galaxy Clusters

Yu-Qing Lou, Yan-Fei Jiang, Chi-Chuan Jin

摘要:

本文提出了一个球对称的理论模型框架,用于研究星系团或球状星团中的大尺度激波和流动动力学。通过高分辨率X射线和射电成像观测推断,星系团中存在这种大规模激波,这意味着星系团中存在着超出通常静态模型的大规模系统性流动。在这里,我们探讨了自相似的两个流体流动的解决方案,在一个星系团中的热多方气体流的冲击存在的大规模暗物质(DM)流的引力核坍缩或中央活动星系核活动或大规模合并过程开始后。特别讨论了暗物质晕中存在DM激波或质量密度和速度弥散的急剧跳跃的可能性,这种DM激波可以通过引力透镜效应探测到。为了研究星系团的各种合理的情况下,我们描述了三种可能的冲击流在我们的模型框架内的不同类型的温度,密度和流速剖面。根据敏感的模型参数和激波位置,热ICM和DM晕可能有各种组合的渐近行为的流出,微风,流入,收缩或静态信封在大半径在一个给定的时间。我们把大半径的热ICM的渐近外流称为星系团风。在星系团演化过程中,由于这种星系团风和DM晕的同时收缩,星系团内的热ICM将低于宇宙中的平均重子分数。

英文摘要:

A theoretical model framework of spherical symmetry is presented for a composite astrophysical system of two polytropic fluids coupled together by gravity to explore large-scale shocks and flow dynamics in clusters of galaxies or in globular clusters. The existence of such large-scale shocks in clusters of galaxies as inferred by high-resolution X-ray and radio imaging observations implies large-scale systematic flows that are beyond usual static models for clusters of galaxies. Here, we explore self-similar two-fluid flow solutions with shocks for a hot polytropic gas flow in a cluster of galaxies in the presence of a massive dark matter (DM) flow after the initiation of a gravitational core collapse or a central AGN activity or a large-scale merging process. In particular, the possibility of DM shocks or sharp jumps of mass density and of velocity dispersion in dark matter halo is discussed and such DM shocks might be detectable through gravitational lensing effects. To examine various plausible scenarios for clusters of galaxies, we describe three possible classes of shock flows within our model framework for different types of temperature, density and flow speed profiles. Depending upon sensible model parameters and shock locations, the hot ICM and DM halo may have various combinations of asymptotic behaviours of outflow, breeze, inflow, contraction or static envelopes at large radii at a given time. We refer to asymptotic outflows of hot ICM at large radii as the galaxy cluster wind. As a result of such galaxy cluster winds and simultaneous contractions of DM halo during the course of galaxy cluster evolution, there would be less hot ICM within clusters of galaxies as compared to the average baryon fraction in the Universe.
