摘要:

我们提出了分析朱雀观测的蛇夫座星系团。我们确认了这个星系团有一个很冷的核心。当团内介质(ICM)的温度向中心降低时,金属丰度增加。除了核心(r<~50 kpc),星系团是热的(~9-10 keV),当r<~1 Mpc时几乎是等温的;后者与以前的研究相矛盾。我们没有探测到星系团中ICM红移的变化,速度差的上限为3000 km/s。X射线谱中的铁谱线比率表明ICM已达到电离平衡态。从这些结果中,我们得出结论,蛇夫座星系团不是一个主要的合并集群,但最热的集群之一,具有一个冷的核心。我们得到的上限的非热发射的集群,这是符合最近声称的检测与INTEGRAL和最近的上限与斯威夫特/BAT。如果星系团有明亮的非热辐射,正如INTEGRAL测量所建议的那样,它可能不是由于最近的一次主要的星系团合并。

英文摘要:

We present the analysis of a Suzaku observation of the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster. We confirmed that the cluster has a cool core. While the temperature of the intracluster medium (ICM) decreases toward the center, the metal abundance increases. Except for the core (r<~50 kpc), the cluster is hot (~9-10 keV) and is almost isothermal for r<~1 Mpc; the latter contradicts a previous study. We do not detect the variation of the redshift of the ICM in the cluster; the upper limit of the velocity difference is 3000 km s^-1. The iron line ratios in X-ray spectra indicate that the ICM has reached the ionization equilibrium state. From these results, we conclude that the Ophiuchus cluster is not a major merger cluster but one of the hottest clusters with a cool core. We obtain the upper limit of non-thermal emission from the cluster, which is consistent with both the recent claimed detection with INTEGRAL and the recent upper limits with the Swift/BAT. If the cluster has bright non-thermal emission as suggested by the INTEGRAL measurement, it is probably not due to a recent major cluster merger.
