摘要:

英仙座星系团在X射线中呈现出多对错位的空洞,在射电波长上也有千秒差距尺度的扭曲喷流;这两种形态都表明活动星系核喷流是受岁差影响的。在这项工作中,我们进行了3D流体动力学模拟的进动AGN喷流和温暖的团内介质等离子体之间的相互作用,动力学耦合到NFW暗物质引力势。活动星系核的喷流使空洞膨胀,空洞变得非常不稳定,并从星系团核心升起。我们发现,在某些情况下,岁差可以产生多对泡沫。对于英仙座星系团的物理条件,在喷流进动张开角> 40度的情况下,获得了多对气泡,至少作用了三个进动周期,很好地再现了射电和X射线图。在此基础上,假设Bardeen-Peterson效应占主导地位,我们研究了该系统的进动张开角的演化。我们能够限制吸积盘和黑洞角动量之间的比值为0.7 - 1.4。我们还能够将目前的岁差角限制在30 - 40度,以及膨胀气泡的近似年龄为1亿至1亿5千万年。

英文摘要:

The Perseus galaxy cluster is known to present multiple and misaligned pairs of cavities seen in X-rays, as well as twisted kiloparsec-scale jets at radio wavelengths; both morphologies suggest that the AGN jet is subject to precession. In this work we performed 3D hydrodynamical simulations of the interaction between a precessing AGN jet and the warm intracluster medium plasma, which dynamics is coupled to a NFW dark matter gravitational potential. The AGN jet inflates cavities that become buoyantly unstable and rise up out of the cluster core. We found that under certain circumstances precession can originate multiple pairs of bubbles. For the physical conditions in the Perseus cluster, multiple pairs of bubbles are obtained for a jet precession opening angle > 40 degrees acting for at least three precession periods, reproducing well both radio and X-ray maps. Based on such conditions, assuming that the Bardeen-Peterson effect is dominant, we studied the evolution of the precession opening angle of this system. We were able to constrain the ratio between the accretion disc and black hole angular momenta as 0.7 - 1.4. We were also able to constrain the present precession angle to 30 - 40 degrees, as well as the approximate age of the inflated bubbles to 100 - 150 Myrs.
