摘要:

对星系团中弥散X射线发射气体的研究为等离子体天体物理学提供了强有力的宇宙学参数约束。然而,直到最近才有可能测量微弱的星团外围。利用朱雀X射线望远镜的数据,我们对英仙座星系团边缘的气体、金属和暗物质进行了精确的、空间分辨的普查。与以前的结果相反,我们对团簇重子分数的测量与维里半径一半处的普遍值是一致的。表观重子分数在较大半径处超过宇宙平均值,表明气体的团簇分布,这对于理解周围宇宙网中团簇的持续增长非常重要。

英文摘要:

Studies of the diffuse X-ray emitting gas in galaxy clusters have provided powerful constraints on cosmological parameters and insights into plasma astrophysics. However, measurements of the faint cluster outskirts have become possible only recently. Using data from the Suzaku X-ray telescope, we determined an accurate, spatially resolved census of the gas, metals, and dark matter out to the edge of the Perseus Cluster. Contrary to previous results, our measurements of the cluster baryon fraction are consistent with the expected universal value at half of the virial radius. The apparent baryon fraction exceeds the cosmic mean at larger radii, suggesting a clumpy distribution of the gas, which is important for understanding the ongoing growth of clusters from the surrounding cosmic web.
