FR II射电源对团内介质的动力学和化学效应

Dynamical and chemical effects of FR II radio sources on the intra-cluster medium

Martin Huarte-Espinosa, Martin Krause, Paul Alexander, Christian R. Kaiser

摘要:

研究了冷核星系团核心大质量星系活动星系核间歇性强喷流对团内介质动力学和金属分布的影响。我们使用一个简单的模型,其中包括通过恒星形成的金属注入的主星系内的金属分布。我们对这些系统进行了二维轴对称流体动力学模拟。在已经建立冷却流之后,两个光射流在相反的方向上以一系列(间歇的)活动阶段注入。我们遵循的时间演化的系统,从喷流的活跃阶段到3 Gyr。我们所有模拟的一般金属丰度演化在大尺度上非常相似。由喷流驱动的对流将气体和金属从中央星系平流到星团内超过1.5 Mpc的距离。间歇射流能够将金属分布到更大的半径。金属注入对ICM中存在的一般金属丰度有影响,金属补充时间越快,金属丰度越高。虽然在冷核心集群的中心区域的金属丰度梯度很可能是由能量较低的现象形成的,但我们在模拟中发现了类似于在~400 kpc半径范围内观察到的金属丰度梯度的证据。中心星系的金属分布细节对ICM金属的动力学演化没有影响。

英文摘要:

We investigate the effects of intermittent strong jets from an Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) of a massive galaxy in the core of a cool core galaxy cluster, on the dynamics and metal distribution of the intra-cluster medium (ICM). We use a simple model for the metal distribution within the host galaxy which includes metal injection via star formation. We carry out 2D axisymmetric hydrodynamic simulations of these systems. After having established a cooling flow, two light jets are injected in opposite directions with a range of (intermittent) active phases. We follow the time evolution of the system from the jets' active phases up to 3 Gyr. The general metallicity evolution for all our simulations is very similar on large-scales. The convective flows driven by the jets advect gas and metals from the central galaxy to distances beyond 1.5 Mpc within the cluster. Intermittent jets are able to distribute metals to grater radii. The metal injection has effects on the general metal abundances present in the ICM, the faster the metal replenishment time the higher the metal abundance. Although metallicity gradients in the very central regions of cool core clusters are likely to be shaped by less-energetic phenomena, we find evidence in our simulations for metallicity gradients similar to those observed out to ~400 kpc radius. The metal distribution details of the central galaxy have no effects on the dynamical evolution of the ICM metals.
