星系团内部介质中的冷气体:对流动动力学和动力光学星云的影响

Cold gas in the Intra Cluster Medium: implications for flow dynamics and powering optical nebulae

Edward Pope, Thomas Hartquist, Julian Pittard

摘要:

我们表明,机械能注入率所产生的集群内介质(ICM)周围的冷云流动可能足以供电的光学和近红外线发射的星云中观察到的样本的7个星系团的中心区域。能量注入率对ICM和冷云之间的速度差异非常敏感,这可能有助于解释为什么光学和红外光度通常比包含AGN的系统中预期的要大。我们还发现,大规模回收可能是重要的ICM的动态。这种效应在团簇的中心区域最强,那里有足够的冷气体蒸发,从而显著地增加热相的密度。

英文摘要:

We show that the mechanical energy injection rate generated as the intra-cluster medium (ICM) flows around cold clouds may be sufficient to power the optical and near infra-red emission of nebulae observed in the central regions of a sample of seven galaxy clusters. The energy injection rate is extremely sensitive to the velocity difference between the ICM and cold clouds, which may help to explain why optical and infra-red luminosity is often larger than expected in systems containing AGNs. We also find that mass recycling is likely to be important for the dynamics of the ICM. This effect will be strongest in the central regions of clusters where there is more than enough cold gas for its evaporation to contribute significantly to the density of the hot phase.
