后发座星系团核心和外围的深层VLA射电连续谱研究

A Deep VLA Radio Continuum Study of the Core and Outskirts of the Coma Cluster

Neal A. Miller, Ann E. Hornschemeier, Bahram Mobasher

摘要:

本文报道了后发座星系团1.4GHz甚大阵射电连续谱观测结果。这两个领域,“后发座1”和“后发座3”,对应于集群核心和西南部的降雨区,并选择了丰富的预先存在的多波长数据。在它们最敏感的区域,射电数据达到每4.4”波束22 μ Jy rms,足以探测到log(L)= 20.11 W/Hz的后发座成员星系。无线电探测的完整目录在这里呈现,包括1030个在>=5 sigma下探测到的源,其中628个在Coma 1和Coma 3区域内。我们还提供光学识别的无线电源使用的数据从斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)。射电观测的深度使我们能够在Mr < -20.5(AB星等)的椭圆星系团中探测到活动星系核,包括Mr <-21.8的所有椭圆星系团的射电探测。在较暗的光学星等(-20.5 < Mr <~ -19),射电源与恒星形成率低至0.1太阳质量/年的恒星形成星系有关。

英文摘要:

We present deep 1.4GHz Very Large Array (VLA) radio continuum observations of two ~half square degree fields in the Coma cluster of galaxies. The two fields, "Coma 1" and "Coma 3," correspond to the cluster core and southwest infall region and were selected on account of abundant pre-existing multiwavelength data. In their most sensitive regions the radio data reach 22 uJy rms per 4.4" beam, sufficient to detect (at 5-sigma) Coma member galaxies with log(L) = 20.11 W/Hz. The full catalog of radio detections is presented herein and consists of 1030 sources detected at >=5 sigma, 628 of which are within the combined Coma 1 and Coma 3 area. We also provide optical identifications of the radio sources using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The depth of the radio observations allows us to detect AGN in cluster elliptical galaxies with Mr < -20.5 (AB magnitudes), including radio detections for all cluster ellipticals with Mr < -21.8. At fainter optical magnitudes (-20.5 < Mr <~ -19) the radio sources are associated with star-forming galaxies with star formation rates as low as 0.1 solar masses per year.
