普朗克早期结果XXVI:用普朗克探测并用XMM-牛顿法确认z~1处异常X射线发光的大质量星系团PLCK G266 .6-27.3
Planck Early Results XXVI: Detection with Planck and confirmation by XMM-Newton of PLCK G266.6-27.3, an exceptionally X-ray luminous and massive galaxy cluster at z~1
摘要:
我们目前的第一个结果PLCK G266.6-27.3,一个星系团候选人在信噪比为5的普朗克全天巡天检测。XMM-牛顿验证观测使我们能够确认候选者是真正的星系团。利用这些X射线数据,我们测量了一个精确的红移,z = 0.94 +/- 0.02,并估计星系团的质量为M_500 =(7.8 +/- 0.8)e+14太阳质量。PLCK G266.6-27.3是一个特殊的星系,它的光度为LX(0.5-2.0 keV)=(1.4 +/- 0.05)e+45 erg/s,相当于z > 0.5宇宙中已知的两个最亮的星系团,是z~1时质量最大的星系团之一。此外,与大多数高红移星团不同,PLCK G266.6-27.3似乎是高度松弛的。这一观测结果证实了普朗克探测高红移、高质量星系团的能力,并为系统研究质量函数指数尾部的种群演化开辟了道路。
英文摘要:
We present first results on PLCK G266.6-27.3, a galaxy cluster candidate detected at a signal-to-noise ratio of 5 in the Planck All Sky survey. An XMM-Newton validation observation has allowed us to confirm that the candidate is a bona fide galaxy cluster. With these X-ray data we measure an accurate redshift, z = 0.94 +/- 0.02, and estimate the cluster mass to be M_500 = (7.8 +/- 0.8)e+14 solar masses. PLCK G266.6-27.3 is an exceptional system: its luminosity of L_X(0.5-2.0 keV)=(1.4 +/- 0.05)e+45 erg/s, equals that of the two most luminous known clusters in the z > 0.5 universe, and it is one of the most massive clusters at z~1. Moreover, unlike the majority of high-redshift clusters, PLCK G266.6-27.3 appears to be highly relaxed. This observation confirms Planck's capability of detecting high-redshift, high-mass clusters, and opens the way to the systematic study of population evolution in the exponential tail of the mass function.
