合并星系团的流体动力学模拟:非平衡电离态和双温结构

Hydrodynamic Simulations of Merging Galaxy Clusters: Non-Equilibrium Ionization State and Two-Temperature Structure

Takuya Akahori, Kohji Yoshikawa

摘要:

利用一系列N体和流体动力学模拟研究了合并星系团中团内介质的非平衡电离态和电子-离子双温结构。系统地研究了不同质量比和碰撞参量的并合,发现在大多数情况下,在团簇外围马赫数为~1.5-2.0的激波层和ICM核心前马赫数为~2-4的激波层处,ICM明显偏离电离平衡态。因此,Fe xxv和Fe xxvi K α线发射之间的强度比从电离平衡态中的强度比显著改变。如果考虑ICM双温结构的影响,在ICM外围和ICM核心前的激波层,电子温度分别比ICM平均温度低10- 20%和30- 50%,偏离电离平衡态的程度变大。我们还解决的强度比的依赖性的视角相对于合并平面。

英文摘要:

We investigate a non-equilibrium ionization state and an electron-ion two-temperature structure of the intracluster medium (ICM) in merging galaxy clusters using a series of N-body and hydrodynamic simulations. Mergers with various sets of mass ratios and impact parameters are systematically investigated, and it is found that, in most cases, ICM significantly departs from the ionization equilibrium state at the shock layers with a Mach number of ~1.5-2.0 in the outskirts of the clusters, and the shock layers with a Mach number of ~2-4 in front of the ICM cores. Accordingly, the intensity ratio between Fe xxv and Fe xxvi K alpha line emissions is significantly altered from that in the ionization equilibrium state. If the effect of the two-temperature structure of ICM is incorporated, the electron temperature is ~10-20 % and ~30-50 % lower than the mean temperature of ICM at the shock layers in the outskirts and in front of the ICM cores, respectively, and the deviation from the ionization equilibrium state becomes larger. We also address the dependence of the intensity ratio on the viewing angle with respect to the merging plane.
