摘要:

我们提出的X射线观测后发座星系团的多个仪器在一个广泛的能量带的结果。利用INTEGRAL、RXTE和ROSAT观测站的数据,我们发现0.5-107 keV能带的Coma谱可以用温度为8.2 keV的热等离子体发射模型很好地近似。INTEGRAL被用来成像硬能带的团簇发射。该星系团在44-107 keV的能量带中只能勉强检测到~ 1.6 sigma;然而,该波段的原始通量与Beppo-SAX和RXTE天文台先前的结果一致。我们可以排除具有高度意义的硬带通量报告Beppo-SAX和RXTE可以由一个单一的点源。在20-80 keV范围内,团簇谱中一个可能的非热分量的通量为(6.0 ± 8.8)× 10**-12尔格/cm ^2/s。除非磁场强度低至0.2 μ G,否则CMB光子的IC散射不太可能在这些水平上产生硬X射线通量。后一个值可以被认为是昏迷中场强的下限。我们还提出了一个温度图的中央部分的集群,其中显示了显着的变化,特别是,一个热的,~11.5千电子伏,区域的延伸向子集群从西南部下降。

英文摘要:

We present results of X-ray observations of the Coma cluster with multiple instruments over a broad energy band. Using the data from INTEGRAL, RXTE and ROSAT observatories, we find that the Coma spectrum in the 0.5-107 keV energy band can be well approximated by a thermal plasma emission model with a temperature of T=8.2 keV. INTEGRAL was used to image the cluster emission in the hard energy band. The cluster is only marginally detectable ~1.6sigma in the 44-107 keV energy band; however, the raw flux in this band is consistent with the previous results from Beppo-SAX and RXTE observatories. We can exclude with high significance that the hard-band flux reported by Beppo-SAX and RXTE could be produced by a single point source. The 20-80 keV flux of a possible non-thermal component in the cluster spectrum is (6.0+-8.8)*10**-12 ergs/cm^2/s. It is unlikely that the IC scattering of CMB photons is able to produce hard X-ray flux at these levels, unless the magnetic field strength is as low as 0.2muG. The latter value can be considered as a lower limit on the field strength in Coma. We also present a temperature map of the central part of the cluster, which shows significant variations and in particular, a hot, ~11.5 keV, region in the extension towards the subcluster infalling from the South-West.
