遗迹作为星系团合并的探测器

Relics as probes of galaxy cluster mergers

R. J. van Weeren, M. Bruggen, H. J. A. Rottgering, M. Hoeft

摘要:

星系团通过与其他星系团和星系群合并而成长。这些合并在群内介质(ICM)中产生冲击。有人提出,在冲击粒子可以加速到极端的能量。在磁场存在的情况下,这些粒子会形成发射同步辐射的大区域,形成所谓的射电遗迹。一个有遗迹的集群的例子是CIZA J2242.8+5301。在这里,我们提出了理想化的二进制集群碰撞的流体动力学模拟的目的是限制合并的情况下,这个集群。我们的结论是,通过使用的位置,大小和宽度的双射电遗迹,我们可以设置约束的质量比,碰撞参量,时间尺度,并查看几何的二进制集群合并事件。

英文摘要:

Galaxy clusters grow by mergers with other clusters and galaxy groups. These mergers create shocks within the intracluster medium (ICM). It is proposed that within the shocks particles can be accelerated to extreme energies. In the presence of a magnetic field these particles should then form large regions emitting synchrotron radiation, creating so-called radio relics. An example of a cluster with relics is CIZA J2242.8+5301. Here we present hydrodynamical simulations of idealized binary cluster collisions with the aim of constraining the merger scenario for this cluster. We conclude that by using the location, size and width of double radio relics we can set constraints on the mass ratios, impact parameters, timescales, and viewing geometries of binary cluster merger events.
