摘要:

本文报道了对星系团Abell 1795的朱雀观测结果,该星系团的半径范围为r_200 ~ 2 Mpc,在此半径范围内星系团的平均质量密度是宇宙临界密度的200倍。这些观测是第一次探测该天体在r > 1.3 Mpc时的团内介质状态。我们在星团外围(1.3 < r < 1.9 Mpc)的两个不相交的扇区中取样,只在其中一个扇区中探测到极限(3-sigma)软X射线表面亮度B(0.5-2 keV)= 1.8 x 10^-12 erg s^-1 cm^-2 deg^-2的X射线发射,该亮度水平小于宇宙X射线背景亮度的20%。我们追踪了r > 0.4Mpc时温度随半径的变化,发现它下降得比较快(T ~ r^-0.9),在最大半径处约为峰值的三分之一。假设团内介质处于流体静力平衡,且是多变的,我们发现多变指数为1.3 + 0.3 - 0.2,我们估计在1.3 Mpc范围内的太阳质量为4.1 + 0.5 - 0.3 x 10^14 M,比以前观测者报告的要低一些(2.7-sigma)。然而,我们的观测提供了证据,偏离流体静力平衡的半径小到r ~ 1.3 Mpc ~ r_500在这个明显规则和对称的集群。

英文摘要:

We report Suzaku observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 1795 that extend to r_200 ~ 2 Mpc, the radius within which the mean cluster mass density is 200 times the cosmic critical density. These observations are the first to probe the state of the intracluster medium in this object at r > 1.3 Mpc. We sample two disjoint sectors in the cluster outskirts (1.3 < r < 1.9 Mpc) and detect X-ray emission in only one of them to a limiting (3-sigma) soft X-ray surface brightness of B(0.5-2 keV) = 1.8 x 10^-12 erg s^-1 cm^-2 deg^-2, a level less than 20% of the cosmic X-ray background brightness. We trace the run of temperature with radius at r > 0.4 Mpc and find that it falls relatively rapidly (T ~ r^-0.9), reaching a value about one third of its peak at the largest radius we can measure it. Assuming the intracluster medium is in hydrostatic equilibrium and is polytropic, we find a polytropic index of 1.3 +0.3-0.2 and we estimate a mass of 4.1 +0.5-0.3 x 10^14 M_solar within 1.3 Mpc, somewhat (2.7-sigma) lower than that reported by previous observers. However, our observations provide evidence for departure from hydrostatic equilibrium at radii as small as r ~ 1.3 Mpc ~ r_500 in this apparently regular and symmetrical cluster.
