摘要:

我们执行一个统一的,系统的分析样本的38个X射线星系团与三个不同的钱德拉校准。温度在校准之间系统地变化。在校准之间,最小的变化平均约为6%,更极端的变化约为13%。本文探讨了星系团光谱性质的变化对Sunyaev-Zel'dovich效应(SZE)和X射线测量哈勃常数的影响。哈勃参数在当前的校准和前两次钱德拉校准之间分别变化了+10%和-13%,这表明星团温度的变化基本上解释了H_0的全部变化。虽然这项工作的重点是光谱特性和由此产生的哈勃参数之间的校准的差异,有趣的是,注意到,新的校准有利于较低的值的哈勃常数,H_0 ~ 60 km s-1 Mpc-1,典型的结果从SZE/X射线距离。星系团本身和仪器的细节都必须精确地知道,以便能够用星系团进行可靠的精确宇宙学研究,这将是可行的,需要通过正在进行的观测和计划中的飞行任务以及覆盖广泛波长的观测站的共同努力。

英文摘要:

We perform a uniform, systematic analysis of a sample of 38 X-ray galaxy clusters with three different Chandra calibrations. The temperatures change systematically between calibrations. Cluster temperatures change on average by roughly ~6% for the smallest changes and roughly ~13% for the more extreme changes between calibrations. We explore the effects of the changing cluster spectral properties on Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) and X-ray determinations of the Hubble constant. The Hubble parameter changes by +10% and -13% between the current calibration and two previous Chandra calibrations, indicating that changes in the cluster temperature basically explain the entire change in H_0. Although this work focuses on the difference in spectral properties and resultant Hubble parameters between the calibrations, it is intriguing to note that the newer calibrations favor a lower value of the Hubble constant, H_0 ~ 60 km s-1 Mpc-1, typical of results from SZE/X-ray distances. Both galaxy clusters themselves and the details of the instruments must be known precisely to enable reliable precision cosmology with clusters, which will be feasible with combined efforts from ongoing observations and planned missions and observatories covering a wide range of wavelengths.
