星系团中浮力气泡的质量输运

Mass transport by buoyant bubbles in galaxy clusters

摘要:

我们调查的三个重要过程的影响,其中活动星系核吹气泡运输材料:漂移,尾流运输和夹带。第一种是漂移,它的发生是因为有浮力的气泡推开了邻近的物质,引起气泡后面的流体净向上位移。对于一个球形的气泡,向上移动的物质的质量大约等于气泡移动的质量的一半,根据当地的ICM和气泡参数,应该是~ 10^{7-9}太阳质量。我们发现,在经典的冷核心集群,向上位移漂移可能是一个关键的过程,在解释存在的细丝背后的气泡。气泡还在其后部的一个区域携带一团物质,称为尾流。尾流的质量与漂移质量相当,并增加了气泡的平均密度,使其更靠近星团中心,并减少了其在上升过程中所能产生的热量。此外,从尾流中脱落的材料也将有助于拖尾细丝。即使活动星系核的加热不能平衡ICM的冷却,气泡尾流的质量传输也能有效地防止中央星系中冷物质的积累。最后,我们考虑夹带,周围的材料被纳入气泡的过程。删节

英文摘要:

We investigate the effect of three important processes by which AGN-blown bubbles transport material: drift, wake transport and entrainment. The first of these, drift, occurs because a buoyant bubble pushes aside the adjacent material, giving rise to a net upward displacement of the fluid behind the bubble. For a spherical bubble, the mass of upwardly displaced material is roughly equal to half the mass displaced by the bubble, and should be ~ 10^{7-9} solar masses depending on the local ICM and bubble parameters. We show that in classical cool core clusters, the upward displacement by drift may be a key process in explaining the presence of filaments behind bubbles. A bubble also carries a parcel of material in a region at its rear, known as the wake. The mass of the wake is comparable to the drift mass and increases the average density of the bubble, trapping it closer to the cluster centre and reducing the amount of heating it can do during its ascent. Moreover, material dropping out of the wake will also contribute to the trailing filaments. Mass transport by the bubble wake can effectively prevent the build-up of cool material in the central galaxy, even if AGN heating does not balance ICM cooling. Finally, we consider entrainment, the process by which ambient material is incorporated into the bubble. Abridged
