来自模拟和强子模型的射电晕I:后发座星系团

Radio Halos From Simulations And Hadronic Models I: The Coma cluster

J. Donnert, K. Dolag, G. Brunetti, R. Cassano, A. Bonafede

摘要:

我们使用的结果从一个约束,宇宙学MHD模拟的本地宇宙来预测的射电晕和伽玛射线通量的后发座星系团,并将其与目前的观测结果进行比较。后发座星系团内的模拟磁场是星系团形成过程中磁场湍流放大的结果。磁种子场起源于恒星爆发驱动的星系外流。采用强子模型计算了同步辐射。我们遵循四种方法与不同的分布的宇宙射线质子(CRp)人口的星系团。射电晕的径向轮廓只能在宇宙射线质子群中的能量分数径向增加的情况下再现,在$>$ 1 Mpc处达到100%的热能含量,例如射电发射区的边缘。此外,即使考虑到高频热SZ效应的负通量,后发座中观测到的射电晕的光谱变陡也无法再现。因此,强子模型是不赞成从目前的分析。从我们模拟的彗发中预期的$γ$射线的发射仍然低于目前的观测极限(系数为$\sim$ 6),但在不久的将来可以检测到。

英文摘要:

We use the results from a constrained, cosmological MHD simulation of the Local Universe to predict the radio halo and the gamma-ray flux from the Coma cluster and compare it to current observations. The simulated magnetic field within the Coma cluster is the result of turbulent amplification of the magnetic field during build-up of the cluster. The magnetic seed field originates from star-burst driven, galactic outflows. The synchrotron emission is calculated assuming a hadronic model. We follow four approaches with different distributions for the cosmic-ray proton (CRp) population within galaxy clusters. The radial profile the radio halo can only be reproduced with a radially increasing energy fraction within the cosmic ray proton population, reaching $>$100% of the thermal energy content at $\approx$ 1Mpc, e.g. the edge of the radio emitting region. Additionally the spectral steepening of the observed radio halo in Coma cannot be reproduced, even when accounting for the negative flux from the thermal SZ effect at high frequencies. Therefore the hadronic models are disfavored from present analysis. The emission of $γ$-rays expected from our simulated coma is still below the current observational limits (by a factor of $\sim$6) but would be detectable in the near future.
