摘要:

本文对星系团A4038、A1664和A786的射电遗迹进行了多频研究。无线电图像,综合频谱,频谱指数图和拟合的绝热压缩模型的框架内的综合频谱。使用巨型米波射电望远镜在150、240和606 MHz拍摄的A4038遗迹图像显示出扩展的超陡光谱(α~ -1.8到-2.7),辐射范围为210 x 80 kpc ^[2]。由冲击波压缩的被动演变的射电波瓣模型最适合积分频谱。位于星系团A1664外围的圆形形态遗迹的综合光谱指数为-1.10+/-0.06,最适合潜伏约4x10^7年的射电瓣模型。A786附近的遗迹有一个弯曲的频谱,最适合用一个潜伏约3x10^7年的射电瓣模型来拟合。在4.7 GHz,一个紧凑的无线电源,可能是A786遗迹的祖先,在无线电遗迹的中心附近被检测到。因此,A786射电遗迹可能是一个潜伏的射电星系,而不是早期研究中认为的宇宙学冲击的地点。

英文摘要:

We present a multi-frequency study of radio relics associated with the galaxy clusters A4038, A1664 and A786. Radio images, integrated spectra, spectral index maps and fits to the integrated spectra in the framework of the adiabatic compression model are presented. Images of the relic in A4038 at 150, 240 and 606 MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope have revealed extended ultra-steep spectrum (α~ -1.8 to -2.7) emission of an extent 210 x 80 kpc^2. The model of passively evolving radio lobes compressed by a shock best fits the integrated spectrum. The relic with a circular morphology at the outskirts of the cluster A1664 has an integrated spectral index of -1.10+/-0.06 and is best fit by the model of radio lobes lurking for ~ 4x10^7 yr. The relic near A786 has a curved spectrum and is best fit by a model of radio lobes lurking for ~ 3x10^7 yr. At 4.7 GHz, a compact radio source, possibly the progenitor of the A786 relic, is detected near the center of the radio relic. The A786 radio relic is thus likely a lurking radio galaxy rather than a site of cosmological shock as has been considered in earlier studies.
