Determining all gas properties in galaxy clusters from the dark matter distribution alone

摘要:

我们证明了星系团中热X射线发射气体的所有性质完全由底层的暗物质(DM)结构决定。除了标准条件的球对称性和流体静力平衡的气体,我们的证明是基于金斯方程的DM和两个简单的关系,最近出现了从数值模拟:平等的气体和DM温度,和DM速度各向异性的轮廓和它的密度斜率之间的几乎线性关系。对于DM分布所描述的NFW或Sersic的配置文件,由此产生的气体密度分布,气体总质量比的配置文件,和熵的配置文件都是在良好的协议与X射线观测。所有这些轮廓都是使用零自由参数导出的。我们的研究结果使我们能够预测的X射线光度分布的集群在其DM内容单独。因此,一个新的策略成为可用的限制DM形态的星系团的X射线观测。我们的结果也可以作为一个实用的工具,用于创建初始条件的现实宇宙学结构中使用的数值模拟。

英文摘要:

We demonstrate that all properties of the hot X-ray emitting gas in galaxy clusters are completely determined by the underlying dark matter (DM) structure. Apart from the standard conditions of spherical symmetry and hydrostatic equilibrium for the gas, our proof is based on the Jeans equation for the DM and two simple relations which have recently emerged from numerical simulations: the equality of the gas and DM temperatures, and the almost linear relation between the DM velocity anisotropy profile and its density slope. For DM distributions described by the NFW or the Sersic profiles, the resulting gas density profile, the gas-to-total-mass ratio profile, and the entropy profile are all in good agreement with X-ray observations. All these profiles are derived using zero free parameters. Our result allows us to predict the X-ray luminosity profile of a cluster in terms of its DM content alone. As a consequence, a new strategy becomes available to constrain the DM morphology in galaxy clusters from X-ray observations. Our results can also be used as a practical tool for creating initial conditions for realistic cosmological structures to be used in numerical simulations.
