摘要:

我们提出了新的限制合并历史的最X射线发光星系团,RXJ1347.5-1145,基于其独特的多波长形态。我们的X射线分析证实,核心气体正在经历“晃动”,这是由先前的大规模引力扰动造成的。结合广泛的多波长观测,晃动的气体指出,初级和次级星系团至少有两个先前的强引力相互作用。证据支持这样一个模型:质量M=4.8 $\pm2.4 \times$ 10 $^{14}$ M $_{\odot}$之前($\gtrsim$ 0.6 Gyr前)经过主星系团,现在返回进行后续的穿越,其中子星系团的气体已完全从其暗物质晕中剥离。RXJ 1347是一个很好的例子,说明了如何通过多波长分析来利用核心气体晃动来限制星系团的合并历史。

英文摘要:

We present new constraints on the merger history of the most X-ray luminous cluster of galaxies, RXJ1347.5-1145, based its unique multiwavelength morphology. Our X-ray analysis confirms the core gas is undergoing "sloshing" resulting from a prior, large scale, gravitational perturbation. In combination with extensive multiwavelength observations, the sloshing gas points to the primary and secondary clusters having had at least two prior strong gravitational interactions. The evidence supports a model in which the secondary subcluster with mass M=4.8$\pm2.4 \times$ 10$^{14}$ M$_{\odot}$ has previously ($\gtrsim$0.6 Gyr ago) passed by the primary cluster, and has now returned for a subsequent crossing where the subcluster's gas has been completely stripped from its dark matter halo. RXJ1347 is a prime example of how core gas sloshing may be used to constrain the merger histories of galaxy clusters through multiwavelength analyses.
