星系团中的活动星系核反馈

Active galactic nucleus feedback in clusters of galaxies

Elizabeth L. Blanton, T. E. Clarke, Craig L. Sarazin, Scott W. Randall, Brian R. McNamara

摘要:

钱德拉X射线天文台在过去十年中的观测,使人们对星系团中心的冷却气体和活动星系核(AGN)加热的作用有了更多的了解。在星系团中心的热的团内介质的冷却可以为在主导星系团星系核中发现的超大质量黑洞提供能量,导致AGN爆发,这可以重新加热气体,抑制冷却和大量的恒星形成。活动星系核的加热可以以冲击波的形式出现,由射电瓣膨胀的剧烈上升的气泡,以及声波的消散。

英文摘要:

Observations made during the last ten years with the Chandra X-ray Observatory have shed much light on the cooling gas in the centers of clusters of galaxies and the role of active galactic nucleus (AGN) heating. Cooling of the hot intracluster medium in cluster centers can feed the supermassive black holes found in the nuclei of the dominant cluster galaxies leading to AGN outbursts which can reheat the gas, suppressing cooling and large amounts of star formation. AGN heating can come in the form of shocks, buoyantly rising bubbles that have been inflated by radio lobes, and the dissipation of sound waves.
