摘要:

使用325兆赫的巨型米波射电望远镜对星系团Abell 781进行了深层射电观测,并与以前的610兆赫观测和VLA 1.4 GHz档案数据进行了比较。来自星团的射电辐射主要由位于X射线辐射外围的扩散源控制,我们暂时将其归类为射电遗迹。我们在团簇中心检测到S(325 MHz)~15-20 mJy水平的残余漫发射。我们的分析不同意Govoni等人(2011)的观点,基于简单的光谱考虑,我们不支持他们关于在1.4 GHz处通量密度为20-30 mJy的射电晕的说法。Abell 781,一个巨大的合并星团,是一个有趣的例子。假设残留的辐射表明存在一个在我们的灵敏度水平上几乎无法检测到的射电晕,那么它可能是一个非常陡峭的频谱源。

英文摘要:

Deep radio observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 781 have been carried out using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope at 325 MHz and have been compared to previous 610 MHz observations and to archival VLA 1.4 GHz data. The radio emission from the cluster is dominated by a diffuse source located at the outskirts of the X-ray emission, which we tentatively classify as a radio relic. We detected residual diffuse emission at the cluster centre at the level of S(325 MHz)~15-20 mJy. Our analysis disagrees with Govoni et al. (2011), and on the basis of simple spectral considerations we do not support their claim of a radio halo with flux density of 20-30 mJy at 1.4 GHz. Abell 781, a massive and merging cluster, is an intriguing case. Assuming that the residual emission is indicative of the presence of a radio halo barely detectable at our sensitivity level, it could be a very steep spectrum source.
