用Suzaku观测ABELL 262团簇内介质的温度和金属丰度

Temperature and Metallicity in the Intra-cluster Medium of ABELL 262 observed with Suzaku

Kosuke Sato, Kyoko Matsushita, Fabio Gastaldello

摘要:

利用朱雀卫星对Abell 262星系团进行了观测,研究了团内介质的温度和丰度分布。Abell 262是一个明亮的,附近的贫穷星系团,ICM温度约为2 keV,因此提供了有关星系团和星系团之间ICM性质联系的有用信息。中心区域的观测光谱可用两个温度模型来描述,而外围区域的观测光谱则用单一温度模型来描述。用XIS仪器不仅直接测量了Si、S和Fe线,而且还测量了O和Mg线,并首次获得了~0.43 r_180的外部区域的丰度。我们发现陡峭的梯度Mg,Si,S和Fe的丰度,而O显示几乎平坦的丰度分布。发现α-元素与Fe的绝对比值与其他簇和组的相似。我们计算出ICM富集的II型与Ia型超新星的数量比为3.0 ± 0.6,在0.1 r_180范围内,该值与其他星团和群的值一致。利用Abell 262成员星系的B波段和K波段光度计算了Fe、O和Mg的金属质光比(IMLR、OMLR、MMLR)。导出的MLRs与kT = 3-4 keV的其他簇的MLRs相当。

英文摘要:

We studied the temperature and abundance distributions of intra-cluster medium (ICM) in the Abell 262 cluster of galaxies observed with Suzaku. Abell 262 is a bright, nearby poor cluster with ICM temperature of ~2 keV, thus providing useful information about the connection of ICM properties between groups and clusters of galaxies. The observed spectrum of the central region was well-represented by two temperature models, and the spectra for the outer regions were described by single temperature model. With the XIS instrument, we directly measured not only Si, S, and Fe lines but also O and Mg lines and obtained those abundances to an outer region of ~0.43 r_180 for the first time. We found steep gradients for Mg, Si, S, and Fe abundances, while O showed almost flat abundance distribution. Abundance ratios of alpha-elements to Fe were found to be similar to those of the other clusters and groups. We calculated the number ratio of type II to type Ia supernovae for the ICM enrichment to be 3.0 +- 0.6 within 0.1 r_180, and the value was consistent with those for other clusters and groups. We also calculated metal mass-to-light ratios (MLRs) for Fe, O and Mg (IMLR, OMLR, MMLR) with B-band and K-band luminosities of the member galaxies of Abell 262. The derived MLRs were comparable to those for other clusters with kT = 3-4 keV.
