相对论喷流对团内介质的再加热

Intracluster Medium reheating by relativistic jets

Manel Perucho, Vicent Quilis, José María Martí

摘要:

星系喷流是重新加热星系团内部介质的强大能量源。它们在宇宙之谜中的关键作用是由观测激发的,已经通过大量的数值模拟建立起来,这些模拟忽略了这些喷流的相对论性质。我们提出了第一个相对论模拟非常长期的现实银河系喷流的演变。出乎意料的是,我们的结果显示没有浮力气泡,但大茧区与所观察到的X射线腔兼容。再加热比以前的方案更有效,更快,它是由喷流驱动的冲击波产生的,它存活了几百万年。因此,由强大的相对论喷流产生的星团中的X射线空洞将在极长的时间内被微弱的冲击所限制,其检测可能是一个观测挑战。

英文摘要:

Galactic jets are powerful energy sources reheating the intra-cluster medium in galaxy clusters. Their crucial role in the cosmic puzzle, motivated by observations, has been established by a great number of numerical simulations missing the relativistic nature of these jets. We present the first relativistic simulations of the very long term evolution of realistic galactic jets. Unexpectedly, our results show no buoyant bubbles, but large cocoon regions compatible with the observed X-ray cavities. The reheating is more efficient and faster than in previous scenarios, and it is produced by the shock wave driven by the jet, that survives for several hundreds of Myrs. Therefore, the X-ray cavities in clusters produced by powerful relativistic jets would remain confined by weak shocks for extremely long periods, whose detection could be an observational challenge.
