用XMM-Newton观测七个邻近明亮星系团星系际介质的温度结构

Temperature structure of the intergalactic medium within seven nearby and bright clusters of galaxies observed with XMM-Newton

H. Bourdin, P. Mazzotta

摘要:

目标。我们绘制了红移z=[0.045,0.096]的一个几乎完整的X射线通量限制的星系团样本内的团内介质(ICM)的温度结构。我们的样本包含7个明亮的星系团,它们是Abell 399,Abell 401,Abell 478,Abell 1795,Abell 2029,Abell 2065,Abell 2256。方法.我们使用一个多尺度光谱映射算法,专门设计用于映射ICM的X射线扩展发射的光谱观测值。从以前的算法使用Haar小波,我们的算法现在实现B样条小波,以执行更经常的信号分析。结果对于我们样本中的四个主要合并的集群,我们发现了一个复杂的热结构,其强烈的热变化与它们的动力学一致。对于其中的两个,A2065和A2256,我们进行了3-D分析的冷锋特征证明从气体温度和亮度图。此外,我们检测到一个显着的非径向热结构以外的冷核心区域的其他3个更“规则”的集群,相对振幅约为10%。我们调查可能的影响,这种结构上的质量估计的“定期”集群A1795和A2029,通过提取表面亮度和温度分布图中最热和最冷的地区相对应的部门。虽然用表面亮度补偿A2029,导致一致的质量分布,但温度结构导致A1795最内部区域的显着质量差异。

英文摘要:

Aims. We map the temperature structure of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) within a nearly complete X-ray flux limited sample of galaxy clusters in the redshift range z=[0.045,0.096]. Our sample contains seven bright clusters of galaxies observed with XMM-Newton: Abell 399, Abell 401, Abell 478, Abell 1795, Abell 2029, Abell 2065, Abell 2256. Methods. We use a multi-scale spectral mapping algorithm especially designed to map spectroscopic observables from X-ray extended emission of the ICM. Derived from a former algorithm using Haar wavelets, our algorithm is now implemented with B-spline wavelets in order to perform a more regular analysis of the signal. Results. For the four clusters in our sample that are major mergers, we find a complex thermal structure with strong thermal variations consistent with their dynamics. For two of them, A2065 and A2256, we perform a 3-d analysis of cold front features evidenced from the gas temperature and brightness maps. Furthermore, we detect a significant non-radial thermal structure outside the cool core region of the other 3 more "regular" clusters, with relative amplitudes of about about 10%. We investigate possible implications of this structure on the mass estimates of the "regular" clusters A1795 and A2029, by extracting surface brightness and temperature profiles from sectors correspondings to the hottest and coldest regions in the maps. While compensating with surface brightness for A2029, leading to consistent mass profiles, the temperature structure leads to significant mass discrepancies in the innermost region of A1795.
