用一个简单而精确的模型探讨团内气体的能量学

Exploring the Energetics of Intracluster Gas with a Simple and Accurate Model

Paul Bode, Jeremiah P. Ostriker, Alexey Vikhlinin

摘要:

星系团中的热气体的状态进行了研究与一组模型集群,通过假设多方状态方程(伽玛=1.2)和流体静力平衡内引力势阱绘制的暗物质模拟。恒星形成,能量输入,和非热压力的支持。为了与在非辐射流体动力学模拟中看到的气体分数相匹配,在团簇形成过程中,暗物质大约5%的结合能必须转移到气体中;非热压力支持的存在增加了这个值。为了与X射线观测相匹配,必须打破无标度行为。这可能是由于恒星形成效率随星系团质量M_500的变化,或者是由于与形成的恒星质量M_F成正比的额外能量的输入。这两个过程对X射线定标有相似的影响。如果9%的气体转化为恒星,与星团质量无关,那么需要1.2 e-5* M_Fc ^2(或每个粒子约1.0 keV)的反馈能量输入才能与观测到的星团相匹配。或者,如果恒星质量分数变化为M_500^-0.26,则需要较低的反馈,即4 e-6* M_Fc ^2;如果恒星质量分数变化为M_500^-0.49,则不需要额外的反馈。模型集群再现气体温度和气体质量分数与集群质量的观察到的趋势,以及观察到的熵和压力分布,因此,他们提供了一个校准的基础,解释即将到来的SZ调查。气体能量增加的一个结果是,即使对于质量最大的星系团,维里半径内的重子分数也不到宇宙平均值的90%。

英文摘要:

The state of the hot gas in clusters of galaxies is investigated with a set of model clusters, created by assuming a polytropic equation of state (Gamma=1.2) and hydrostatic equilibrium inside gravitational potential wells drawn from a dark matter simulation. Star formation, energy input, and nonthermal pressure support are included. To match the gas fractions seen in non-radiative hydrodynamical simulations, roughly 5% of the binding energy of the dark matter must be transferred to the gas during cluster formation; the presence of nonthermal pressure support increases this value. In order to match X-ray observations, scale-free behavior must be broken. This can be due to either variation of the efficiency of star formation with cluster mass M_500, or the input of additional energy proportional to the formed stellar mass M_F. These two processes have similar effects on X-ray scalings. If 9% of the gas is converted into stars, independent of cluster mass, then feedback energy input of 1.2e-5*M_Fc^2 (or ~1.0 keV per particle) is required to match observed clusters. Alternatively, if the stellar mass fraction varies as M_500^-0.26 then a lower feedback of 4e-6*M_Fc^2 is needed, and if the stellar fraction varies as steeply as M_500^-0.49 then no additional feedback is necessary. The model clusters reproduce the observed trends of gas temperature and gas mass fraction with cluster mass, as well as observed entropy and pressure profiles; thus they provide a calibrated basis with which to interpret upcoming SZ surveys. One consequence of the increased gas energy is that the baryon fraction inside the virial radius is less than roughly 90% of the cosmic mean, even for the most massive clusters.
