摘要:

利用钱德拉成像光谱学和甚大阵(VLA)L波段射电图,我们在12个高红移(0.4<z<1.2)星系团中的L>L* 星系中识别出P_{1.4GHz} ≥ 5 × 10 ^{23} W Hz^{-1}的射电源和L_{0.3-8keV} ≥ 5 × 10 ^{42} erg s^{-1}的X射线点源(XPS)。这个星系团样本中的射电星系和XPS,选择与后发座星系团的祖先在这些红移一致,与哈特等人(2009)分析的低z发现的进行比较。在星系团核心的投影半径为1 Mpc的范围内,我们发现了17个星系团射电星系(11个具有安全的红移,包括一个z=0.826的明亮FR II射电源,还有6个具有类似于星系团椭圆星系的宿主星系颜色)。射电光度函数(RLF)的集群无线电星系作为一个小部分的集群红色序列(CRS)星系揭示了显着的演变,这个人口从高Z到低Z,与较高的功率无线电星系位于较低温度的集群在较早的时代。此外,有一些证据表明,随着宇宙时间的推移,射电星系团比CRS星系更加集中。在这个相同的投影半径内,我们识别出7个光谱确认的星团XPS,它们都具有CRS宿主星系的颜色。与Martini等人(2009)的结果一致,我们估计高z星系团中CRS星系的最小X射线活性分数为1.4+/-0.8%,相当于低z星系团中CRS星系的活性分数从0.15+/-0.15%增加了约10倍。虽然在z>0.4的星系团场中,还缺乏几个XPS的完整红移信息,但CRS射电星系和XPS的数量和光度的增加表明,活动星系核注入高红移星系团的热量比现在增加了9-10倍。

英文摘要:

Using Chandra imaging spectroscopy and Very Large Array (VLA) L-band radio maps, we have identified radio sources at P_{1.4GHz} >=5x10^{23} W Hz^{-1} and X-ray point sources (XPSs) at L_{0.3-8keV}>=5x10^{42} erg s^{-1} in L>L* galaxies in 12 high-redshift (0.4<z<1.2) clusters of galaxies. The radio galaxies and XPSs in this cluster sample, chosen to be consistent with Coma Cluster progenitors at these redshifts, are compared to those found at low-z analyzed in Hart et al. (2009). Within a projected radius of 1 Mpc of the cluster cores, we find 17 cluster radio galaxies (11 with secure redshifts, including one luminous FR II radio source at z=0.826, and 6 more with host galaxy colors similar to cluster ellipticals). The radio luminosity function (RLF) of the cluster radio galaxies as a fraction of the cluster red sequence (CRS) galaxies reveals significant evolution of this population from high-z to low-z, with higher power radio galaxies situated in lower temperature clusters at earlier epochs. Additionally, there is some evidence that cluster radio galaxies become more centrally concentrated than CRS galaxies with cosmic time. Within this same projected radius, we identify 7 spectroscopically-confirmed cluster XPSs, all with CRS host galaxy colors. Consistent with the results from Martini et al. (2009), we estimate a minimum X-ray active fraction of 1.4+/-0.8% for CRS galaxies in high-z clusters, corresponding to an approximate 10-fold increase from 0.15+/-0.15% at low-z. Although complete redshift information is lacking for several XPSs in z>0.4 cluster fields, the increased numbers and luminosities of the CRS radio galaxies and XPSs suggest a substantial (9-10 fold) increase in the heat injected into high redshift clusters by AGN compared to the present epoch.
