Residual Gas Motions in the Intracluster Medium and Bias in Hydrostatic Measurements of Mass Profiles of Clusters

Erwin T. Lau, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Daisuke Nagai

摘要:

我们对16个模拟星系团进行了高分辨率的欧拉宇宙学模拟,分析了星系团内介质中气体的整体运动和随机运动,其中包括非常松弛和非松弛的系统,维里质量范围为5*10^13 - 2*10^15 Msun/h。我们研究了残余亚音速气体运动对星系团质量分布和浓度的流体静力学估算的影响。与以前的研究一致,我们发现,气体运动的贡献高达~ 5%-15%的总压力支持在松弛集团的贡献与集团中心半径增加。在非松弛系统中,分压支持更高。在总质量剖面的流体静力学估算中,这种贡献不会被考虑在内,并会导致系统性地低估质量。我们表明,总质量可以准确地恢复,如果压力,由于在模拟中测量的气体运动是明确考虑到流体静力平衡方程。考虑到在较大半径处对质量的低估在增加,其中气体较不松弛且气体运动对压力的贡献较大,从流体静力学分析得出的总密度分布比真实分布更集中。这可能至少部分解释了一些高值的集群的浓度估计从流体静力学分析的X射线数据。

英文摘要:

We present analysis of bulk and random gas motions in the intracluster medium using high-resolution Eulerian cosmological simulations of sixteen simulated clusters, including both very relaxed and unrelaxed systems and spanning a virial mass range of 5*10^13 - 2*10^15 Msun/h. We investigate effects of the residual subsonic gas motions on the hydrostatic estimates of mass profiles and concentrations of galaxy clusters. In agreement with previous studies we find that the gas motions contribute up to ~ 5%-15% of the total pressure support in relaxed clusters with contribution increasing with cluster-centric radius. The fractional pressure support is higher in unrelaxed systems. This contribution would not be accounted for in hydrostatic estimates of the total mass profile and would lead to systematic underestimate of mass. We demonstrate that total mass can be recovered accurately if pressure due to gas motions measured in simulations is explicitly taken into account in the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium. Given that the underestimate of mass is increasing at larger radii, where gas is less relaxed and contribution of gas motions to pressure is larger, the total density profile derived from hydrostatic analysis is more concentrated than the true profile. This may at least partially explain some high values of concentrations of clusters estimated from hydrostatic analysis of X-ray data.
