摘要:

像星系团这样的大质量结构,嵌入宇宙细丝中,通过它们的相互作用释放出巨大的能量。这些事件的产生与Mpc尺度的冲击和注入相当数量的湍流,影响非热能预算的ICM。为了彻底研究这一点,我们使用流体动力学代码恩佐进行了一系列宇宙学模拟。我们研究了发生大合并的团簇的形成、合并冲击的传播以及它们与邻近宇宙网的相互作用。这种相互作用产生的外围结构非常类似于巨型射电遗迹,例如,在阿贝尔3376和阿贝尔3667。我们发现一个相对较长的时间尺度(约4 Gyr)的湍流衰减的主要合并集群的中心。这个时间尺度比通常假设的湍流再加速模型要长得多,用来解释观测到的射电晕的统计数据。

英文摘要:

Massive structures like cluster of galaxies, embedded in cosmic filaments, release enormous amount of energy through their interactions. These events are associated with production of Mpc-scale shocks and injection of considerable amount of turbulence, affecting the non-thermal energy budget of the ICM. In order to study this thoroughly, we performed a set of cosmological simulations using the hydrodynamical code Enzo. We studied the formation of clusters undergoing major mergers, the propagation of merger shocks and their interaction with the filamentary cosmic web. This interaction is shown to produce peripheral structures remarkably similar to giant radio relics observed, for example, in Abell 3376 and Abell 3667. We find a relatively long timescale (about 4 Gyr) for turbulence decay in the centre of major merging clusters. This timescale is substantially longer than typically assumed in the turbulent re-acceleration models, invoked for explaining the statistics of observed radio halos.
