0.03<z<0.3亮X射线团兆帕斯卡尺度射电辐射的客观观测

An Objective Survey of Mpc-Scale Radio Emission in 0.03<z<0.3 Bright X-ray Clusters

Lawrence Rudnick, Jeffrey Lemmerman

摘要:

我们已经进行了第一次普查的百万pc规模的无线电发射,包括控制领域和量化的上限,明亮的X射线集群在0.03<z<0.3。通过对WENSS调查的无线电图像进行再处理,我们检测到大约30%的样品的漫发射。我们发现一个相关性类似的无线电晕和主机集群的X射线光度之间的关系研究,但也发现,大规模的无线电星系探测遵循类似的趋势,无线电晕。通过这种定量研究,我们确认了X射线选择星系团的射电光度的上包络,以及在X射线光度高于约10**45 erg/s时,漫射射电发射(包括晕、遗迹和射电星系)的较高探测率。我们既不能证实也不能反驳这些射电晕和X射线光度之间紧密相关的说法,即X射线团的晕光度函数是否是双峰的(具有高/开和低/关状态),或者射电光度是否可以在每个团的X射线光度处呈现一个大范围的值,直到最大值。这个问题的解决可能会提供一个独特的诊断的时间尺度上,相对论粒子可以加速集群合并。我们讨论了几个重要的选择效应的无线电与X射线光度的相关性,包括表面亮度阈值和非X射线选择的漫射射电源。我们还报告了几个新的探测到的扩散发射,包括在RXJ 1053.7 +5450的Mpc级遗迹,在Abell 2061的可能的光环/遗迹组合,一个偶然的扩散X射线源与贫困的集群在Abell 781领域,并确认非常弱的扩散发射补丁以外的Abell~2255。

英文摘要:

We have performed the the first census of Mpc-scale radio emission to include control fields and quantifiable upper limits for bright X-ray clusters in the range 0.03<z<0.3 . Through reprocessing radio images from the WENSS survey, we detect diffuse emission from approximately 30% of the sample. We find a correlation similar to the well-studied relationship between radio halo and X-ray luminosities of the host cluster, but also find that large scale radio galaxy detections follow a similar trend to that for radio halos. With this quantitative study, we thus confirm the upper envelope to the radio luminosities for X-ray selected clusters, and the higher detection rates for diffuse radio emission (including halos, relics and radio galaxies) at X-ray luminosities above approximately 10**45 erg/s. We can neither confirm nor refute the claims for a tight correlation between these radio halo and X-ray luminosities, i.e. whether the halo luminosity function of X-ray clusters is bimodal (having high/on and low/off states), or whether the radio luminosity can take on a wide range of values up to a maximum at each cluster X-ray luminosity. The resolution of this issue may provide a unique diagnostic for the timescales over which relativistic particles can be accelerated following cluster mergers. We discuss several important selection effects on radio vs. X-ray luminosity correlations, including surface brightness thresholds and non-X-ray-selected diffuse radio sources. We also report several new detections of diffuse emission, including a Mpc-scale relic in RXJ1053.7+5450, a possible halo/relic combination in Abell 2061, a serendipitous diffuse X-ray source associated with poor clusters in the Abell 781 field, and confirmation of very weak diffuse emission patches outside of Abell~2255.
