星系团中的重子分数:反对熵产生预热模型的证据

Baryon fractions in clusters of galaxies: evidence against a preheating model for entropy generation

摘要:

千年气体项目旨在对千年模拟进行平滑粒子流体动力学再模拟,提供数百个大质量星系团,以与X射线巡天进行比较(170个kTsl > 3 keV的星系团)。本文着眼于在不同的物理加热机制的模拟中的热气体和恒星部分的集群。这些未能再现冷核心系统,但成功地匹配非冷核心集群的热气剖面。尽管观测数据中存在巨大的分散性,但模拟的星团与r500内的积分气体分数大致匹配。然而,与以前的工作一致,它们与恒星分数相比表现得不那么好,对星团质量的依赖性比观察到的要弱得多。与红移的热气体馏分的演变是更大的模拟与早期预热比在一个持续的反馈,观测有利于后者的模型。热气体分数对团簇物理的强烈依赖限制了它作为宇宙学参数探测器的用途。

英文摘要:

The Millennium Gas project aims to undertake smoothed-particle hydrodynamic resimulations of the Millennium Simulation, providing many hundred massive galaxy clusters for comparison with X-ray surveys (170 clusters with kTsl > 3 keV). This paper looks at the hot gas and stellar fractions of clusters in simulations with different physical heating mechanisms. These fail to reproduce cool-core systems but are successful in matching the hot gas profiles of non-cool-core clusters. Although there is immense scatter in the observational data, the simulated clusters broadly match the integrated gas fractions within r500 . In line with previous work, however, they fare much less well when compared to the stellar fractions, having a dependence on cluster mass that is much weaker than is observed. The evolution with redshift of the hot gas fraction is much larger in the simulation with early preheating than in one with continual feedback; observations favour the latter model. The strong dependence of hot gas fraction on cluster physics limits its use as a probe of cosmological parameters.
