摘要:

我们的目标是获得对Abell 1240星团内部动力学的新认识,发现存在两个大致对称的射电遗迹,它们之间的距离约为2 h_70^-1 Mpc。我们的分析主要是基于145个星系的红移数据和新的光度数据。我们还使用来自Chandra存档的X射线数据和来自SDSS(DR 7)的光度数据。我们结合星系的速度和位置,选择89个星系团和分析的Abell 1237 + Abell 1240集群复合体的内部动力学。我们估计类似的红移阿贝尔1237和阿贝尔1240,<z>=0.1935和<z>=0.1948,分别。对于Abell 1237,我们估计速度色散σ_v约为740 km/s,质量M约为6 10^14 h_70^-1 M_sun。考虑到Abell 1240的复杂动力学,我们估计它的LOS sigma_v约为870 km/s,质量范围M约为0.9-1.9 10^15 h_70^-1 M_sun。阿贝尔1240被显示为具有双峰结构,两个星系团大致定义了南北方向,同一个星系团由其X射线表面亮度的延长和遗迹的对称轴定义。两体模型同意这样的假设,即我们看到的星系团合并主要发生在天空的平面上,两个星系团在交叉核心后0.3 Gyrs的时间间隔内以静止帧速度差V_rf~2000 km/s分离,而Abell 1237仍在落入Abell 1240。Chandra档案数据证实了Abell 1240的复杂结构,并使我们能够估计全球X射线温度T_X=6.0 ± 0.5 keV。与射电数据的研究结果一致,我们对Abell 1240的研究结果强烈支持“外向合并冲击”模型来解释遗迹的存在。

英文摘要:

We aim to obtain new insights into the internal dynamics of the cluster Abell 1240, showing the presence of two roughly symmetric radio relics, separated by ~2 h_70^-1 Mpc. Our analysis is mainly based on redshift data for 145 galaxies and on new photometric data. We also use X-ray data from the Chandra archive and photometric data from the SDSS (DR7). We combine galaxy velocities and positions to select 89 cluster galaxies and analyze the internal dynamics of the Abell 1237 + Abell 1240 cluster complex. We estimate similar redshifts for Abell 1237 and Abell 1240, <z>=0.1935 and <z>=0.1948, respectively. For Abell 1237 we estimate velocity dispersion sigma_v~740 km/s and a mass M~6 10^14 h_70^-1 M_sun. For Abell 1240 we estimate a LOS sigma_v~870 km/s and a mass range M~0.9-1.9 10^15 h_70^-1 M_sun, which takes into account its complex dynamics. Abell 1240 is shown to have a bimodal structure with two galaxy clumps roughly defining the N-S direction, the same one defined by the elongation of its X-ray surface brightness and by the axis of symmetry of the relics. The two--body model agrees with the hypothesis that we are looking at a cluster merger occurred largely in the plane of the sky, with the two galaxy clumps separated by a rest-frame velocity difference V_rf~2000 km/s at a time of 0.3 Gyrs after the crossing core, while Abell 1237 is still infalling onto Abell 1240. Chandra archive data confirm the complex structure of Abell 1240 and allow us to estimate a global X-ray temperature T_X=6.0+-0.5 keV. In agreement with the findings from radio data, our results for Abell 1240 strongly support the "outgoing merger shocks" model to explain the presence of the relics.
