摘要:

对星系团的低频射电观测是探测与之相关的弥散扩展辐射的关键。这种射电源在星系团中的存在和性质揭示了大规模磁场的存在,并允许测试有关ICM中相对论粒子的起源及其传播的理论。利用WSRT对A2255星系团进行了85厘米深射电观测。通过这些观测获得的良好的紫外线覆盖范围和灵敏度使我们能够对低亮度、扩展的星团源(射电晕和遗迹)的复杂结构进行成像。这些来源显示了更大的范围比什么已经成像到目前为止,在这个频率,有两个新的结构位于西南和西北的集群中心,并在投影距离2百万秒差距。新检测到的结构的物理性质,连同集群的活跃的动力学状态,支持连接与大尺度结构(LSS)形成冲击。

英文摘要:

Low-frequency radio observations of galaxy clusters are the key to detecting the diffuse extended emission associated with them. The presence and properties of such radio sources in galaxy clusters reveal the existence of magnetic fields on a large scale and allow theories to be tested concerning both the origin of relativistic particles in the ICM and their propagation. A deep radio bservation of the A2255 galaxy cluster was carried out at 85 cm with the WSRT. The good UV-coverage and sensitivity achieved by these observations allowed us to image the complex structure of the low-brightness, extended cluster sources (radio halo and relic). These sources show a larger extent than what has been imaged so far at this frequency, with two new structures located SW and NW of the cluster center and at projected distances of 2 Mpc from it. The physical properties of the newly detected structures, together with the active dynamical state of the cluster, support a connection with large-scale structure (LSS) formation shocks.
