摘要:

对星系团的X射线观测表明,星系团内部气体的铁丰度约为太阳值的三分之一。这些观测结果也表明,部分(如果不是全部)的星系团内气体金属是在成员星系内产生的。本文对20个星系团进行了系统的分析,探讨了铁质量与早型星系、晚型星系和最亮星系团总光度之间的关系。从我们的研究结果,内集群介质(ICM)铁的质量似乎更好地与亮度的BCGs比与红色和蓝色星系的人口。由于BCG不能单独产生所观察到的铁量,我们建议,冲压压力加上潮汐剥离共同作用,以提高,在同一时间,BCG的亮度和ICM中的铁质量。通过对铁产率的分析,我们还估计Ia超新星占ICM中总铁的50%以上。这一结果证实了这样一个事实,即冲压压力有助于气体从星系到团内介质的迁移,对于温度范围为2 < kT(keV)< 10

英文摘要:

X-ray observations of galaxy clusters have shown that the intra-cluster gas has iron abundances of about one third of the solar value. These observations also show that part (if not all) of the intra-cluster gas metals were produced within the member galaxies. We present a systematic analysis of 20 galaxy clusters to explore the connection between the iron mass and the total luminosity of early-type and late-type galaxies, and of the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). From our results, the intra-cluster medium (ICM) iron mass seems to correlate better with the luminosity of the BCGs than with that of the red and blue galaxy populations. As the BCGs cannot produce alone the observed amount of iron, we suggest that ram-pressure plus tidal stripping act together to enhance, at the same time, the BCG luminosities and the iron mass in the ICM. Through the analysis of the iron yield, we have also estimated that SN Ia are responsible for more than 50% of the total iron in the ICM. This result corroborates the fact that ram-pressure contributes to the gas removal from galaxies to the inta-cluster medium, being very efficient for clusters in the temperature range 2 < kT (keV)< 10
