X射线下星系团的自相似现象

On the Self-Similar Appearance of Galaxy Clusters in X-rays

Hans Boehringer, Klaus Dolag, Gayoung Chon

摘要:

利用星系团进行宇宙学研究的最大不确定性是由于我们对星系团结构的统计知识以及观测量与星系团质量之间的标度关系的知识有限。因此,进行了大量的努力,以汇编全球星系团的属性,特别是通过X射线观测获得的,并研究它们的标度关系。然而,在文献中使用的缩放方案不同。本文旨在澄清这种情况,提供一个彻底的审查标准模型内的大尺度结构增长的标度律,并讨论各种步骤的实际近似。在纯引力结构增长的情况下,我们导出了X射线观测量和星系团质量的标度律。使用N体模拟,我们测试了最近的形成近似使用在早期的分析方法,其中涉及红移依赖overdensity parameter.We发现这种近似不太精确比使用一个基准半径的基础上固定的overdensity相对于临界密度。受预测的尺度关系与观测结果的比较的启发,我们提出了一个一阶修改的尺度计划,包括所观察到的结构形成中的流体动力学的影响。这种修改涉及一个集群质量依赖的气体质量分数。我们还讨论了观测结果的最重要的标度关系的reshift演变,并发现也红移依赖的气体质量总质量的关系,必须调用我们的修改方案。我们发现,目前的观测数据是在其不确定性与建议的修改后的标度律一致。

英文摘要:

The largest uncertainty for cosmological studies using clusters of galaxies is introduced by our limited knowledge of the statistics of galaxy cluster structure, and of the scaling relations between observables and cluster mass. A large effort is therefore undertaken to compile global galaxy cluster properties in particular obtained through X-ray observations and to study their scaling relations. However, the scaling schemes used in the literature differ. The present paper aims to clarify this situation by providing a thorough review of the scaling laws within the standard model of large-scale structure growth and to discus various steps of practical approximations. We derive the scaling laws for X-ray observables and cluster mass within the pure gravitational structure growth scenario. Using N-body simulations we test the recent formation approximation used in earlier analytic approaches which involves a redshift dependent overdensity parameter.We find this approximation less precise than the use of a fiducial radius based on a fixed overdensity with respect to critical density. Inspired by the comparison of the predicted scaling relations with observations we propose a first order modification of the scaling scheme to include the observed effects of hydrodynamics in structure formation. This modification involves a cluster mass dependent gas mass fraction. We also discuss the observational results of the reshift evolution of the most important scaling relations and find that also a redshift dependence of the gas mass to total mass relation has to be invoked within our modification scheme. We find that the current observational data are within their uncertainties consistent with the proposed modified scaling laws.
