活动星系团中心星系的详细性质

The detailed nature of active central cluster galaxies

S. I. Loubser, I. K. Soechting

摘要:

我们提出了详细的积分场单位(IFU)的中央几千秒差距的电离星云周围的四个活跃的中央星系团星系(CCG)在冷却流星系团(阿贝尔0496,0780,1644和2052)的观测。我们的样品由具有Hα细丝的CCG组成,并且具有来自X射线区域的现有数据。在这里,我们提出了详细的光学发射线(和同时吸收线)的数据在一个宽的波长范围内探测占主导地位的电离过程,激发源,形态和运动学的热气体(以及恒星的形态和运动学)。这与其他多波长数据相结合,将形成一个完整的视图,不同的阶段(热和冷气体和恒星),以及它们如何在恒星形成过程中相互作用,在冷却流星系团的中央星系中检测到反馈,以及宿主星系团的影响。我们导出了这四个星云的光学尘埃消光图。我们还推导出一系列不同的运动学特性,给定的小样本量。对于Abell 0496和0780,我们发现恒星和气体在运动学上是解耦的,而在Abell 1644的情况下,我们发现这些分量是对齐的。对于Abell 2052,我们发现气体成分显示旋转,即使没有旋转是明显的恒星成分。从我们的空间分辨率所揭示的程度来看,似乎所有的光学禁断线和氢复合线都起源于所有星系的同一种气体。根据光学诊断比([OIII]λ5007/Hβ对[NII]λ6584/Hα,[SII]λ 6717,6731/Hα,和[OI]λ6300/Hα),所有星系都显示出扩展的LINER发射,但至少有一个星系有明显的Seyfert发射区,至少还有一个星系在许多像素上有明显的HII样发射线比。简短。

英文摘要:

We present detailed integral field unit (IFU) observations of the central few kiloparsecs of the ionised nebulae surrounding four active central cluster galaxies (CCGs) in cooling flow clusters (Abell 0496, 0780, 1644 and 2052). Our sample consists of CCGs with Hα filaments, and have existing data from the X-ray regime available. Here, we present the detailed optical emission-line (and simultaneous absorption line) data over a broad wavelength range to probe the dominant ionisation processes, excitation sources, morphology and kinematics of the hot gas (as well as the morphology and kinematics of the stars). This, combined with the other multiwavelength data, will form a complete view of the different phases (hot and cold gas and stars) and how they interact in the processes of star formation and feedback detected in central galaxies in cooling flow clusters, as well as the influence of the host cluster. We derive the optical dust extinction maps of the four nebulae. We also derive a range of different kinematic properties, given the small sample size. For Abell 0496 and 0780, we find that the stars and gas are kinematically decoupled, and in the case of Abell 1644 we find that these components are aligned. For Abell 2052, we find that the gaseous components show rotation even though no rotation is apparent in the stellar components. To the degree that our spatial resolution reveals, it appears that all the optical forbidden and hydrogen recombination lines originate in the same gas for all the galaxies. Based on optical diagnostic ratios ([OIII]λ5007/Hβ against [NII]λ6584/Hα, [SII]λλ6717,6731/Hα, and [OI]λ6300/Hα), all galaxies show extended LINER emission, but that at least one has significant Seyfert emission areas, and at least one other has significant HII like emission line ratios for many pixels. ABRIDGED.
