摘要:

我们提出了一个新的质量估计的一个良好的研究引力透镜集群,阿贝尔1689,从深钱德拉观测与总曝光量为200 ks。在r=200 h-1 kpc范围内,X射线质量估计系统地比透镜效应低30- 50%。在r>200 h ~(-1)kpc时,X射线和弱透镜方法的质量密度分布给出了一致的结果。最新的弱透镜工作表明,比X射线分析发现的更陡峭的轮廓,同时仍然与大半径处的质量一致。以前的研究表明,较冷的小尺度结构可能会使X射线温度测量产生偏差,或者星团的北部受到干扰。我们发现这些方案不太可能解决中央质量的差异,因为前者需要70-90%的空间被这些冷结构所占据,排除北部的子结构不会显着影响总质量的配置文件。一个更合理的解释是投射效应。我们还发现,以前报道的高硬带宽带的温度比在A1689,和许多其他与钱德拉观察到的集群,可能是由于仪器吸收,减少10-15%的有效面积在~1.75 keV。

英文摘要:

We present a new mass estimate of a well-studied gravitational lensing cluster, Abell 1689, from deep Chandra observations with a total exposure of 200 ks. Within r=200 h-1 kpc, the X-ray mass estimate is systematically lower than that of lensing by 30-50%. At r>200 h-1 kpc, the mass density profiles from X-ray and weak lensing methods give consistent results. The most recent weak lensing work suggest a steeper profile than what is found from the X-ray analysis, while still in agreement with the mass at large radii. Previous studies have suggested that cooler small-scale structures can bias X-ray temperature measurements or that the northern part of the cluster is disturbed. We find these scenarios unlikely to resolve the central mass discrepancy since the former requires 70-90% of the space to be occupied by these cool structures and excluding the northern substructure does not significantly affect the total mass profiles. A more plausible explanation is a projection effect. We also find that the previously reported high hard-band to broad-band temperature ratio in A1689, and many other clusters observed with Chandra, may be resulting from the instrumental absorption that decreases 10-15% of the effective area at ~1.75 keV.
