星系团周围壳层中的失踪重子

Missing baryons in shells around galaxy clusters

Dmitry Prokhorov

摘要:

根据团内介质(ICM)的CMB散射轻子分量估计了团簇重子分数;然而,观测到的团簇重子分数小于宇宙重子分数。理解这种差异的起源对于正确描述ICM的结构是必要的。我们估计了星系团外围的重子质量,这些区域由于电子温度和密度低而难以观测。电子和质子在外围达到均分的时间尺度比团簇年龄长。由于没有达到热平衡,ICM重子的很大一部分可能隐藏在星系团周围的壳层中。我们得出的必要条件,在外部重子壳失踪的重子隐藏的集群质量,并表明,这个条件是满足的,因为集群质量是可比的估计特征质量$M=e^4/(m^3_{p} G^2)=1.3x10^{15}$太阳质量。预言了星系团周围极紫外辐射晕的存在。

英文摘要:

The cluster baryon fraction is estimated from the CMB-scattering leptonic component of the intracluster medium (ICM); however, the observed cluster baryon fraction is less than the cosmic one. Understanding the origin of this discrepancy is necessary for correctly describing the structure of the ICM. We estimate the baryonic mass in the outskirts of galaxy clusters which is difficult to observe because of low electron temperature and density in these regions. The time scale for the electrons and protons to reach equipartition in the outskirts is longer than the cluster age. Since thermal equilibrium is not achieved, a significant fraction of the ICM baryons may be hidden in shells around galaxy clusters. We derive the necessary condition on the cluster mass for the concealment of missing baryons in an outer baryon shell and show that this condition is fulfilled because cluster masses are comparable to the estimated characteristic mass $M=e^4/(m^3_{p} G^2)=1.3x10^{15}$ solar masses. The existence of extreme-ultraviolet emission haloes around galaxy clusters is predicted.
