摘要:

本文讨论了Subaru-XMM深场(SXDF)中四个星系团在z ~ 1处的光学性质、X射线探测和活动星系核(AGN)布居。速度分布和合理的扩展X射线探测检查,以及与集群相关的X射线点源和射电源的数量。我们发现,出现维里化,并有一个扩展的X射线探测的两个集群包含很少,如果有的话,活动星系核,而两个预维里化集群有一个大的活动星系核人口。这证明了活动星系核在星系团中的比例与星系团的演化阶段有关。在预维里化的星系团中,X射线活动星系核的数量与密度约为200倍的超密度是一致的;射电活动星系核似乎以高出3到6倍的密度聚集在一起。X射线源和射电源的K波段亮度中值分别为L_K = 1.7 +/-0.7 L* 和L_K = 2.3 +/-0.1 L*,这支持了活动星系核是由低内部速度分布的星系群相互作用和合并事件触发的理论,这些星系群构成了星系团在维里化前演化阶段的环境。

英文摘要:

We discuss the optical properties, X-ray detections, and Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) populations of four clusters at z ~ 1 in the Subaru-XMM Deep Field (SXDF). The velocity distribution and plausible extended X-ray detections are examined, as well as the number of X-ray point sources and radio sources associated with the clusters. We find that the two clusters that appear virialised and have an extended X-ray detection contain few, if any, AGN, whereas the two pre-virialised clusters have a large AGN population. This constitutes evidence that the AGN fraction in clusters is linked to the clusters' evolutionary stage. The number of X-ray AGN in the pre-virialised clusters is consistent with an overdensity of factor ~ 200; the radio AGN appear to be clustered with a factor of three to six higher. The median K-band luminosities of L_K = 1.7 +/- 0.7 L* for the X-ray sources and L_K = 2.3 +/- 0.1 L* for the radio sources support the theory that these AGN are triggered by galaxy interaction and merging events in sub-groups with low internal velocity distributions, which make up the cluster environment in a pre-virialisation evolutionary stage.
