摘要:

直到最近,只有大约10%的星团内气体体积得到了高精度的研究,留下了一个巨大的区域基本上未被探索。这种情况现在正在改变,在星系团的外围有一个广阔的热气物理和化学领域等待着人们的发现。此外,可靠的大比例尺总质量剖面图和地图也是触手可及的。近年来,这一新兴领域的第一个观测和理论结果已经取得,有时会有令人惊讶的发现。在这里,我们总结和说明相关的基本物理和化学过程,并回顾最近在X射线,Sunyaev-Zel'dovich和集群外围的弱引力透镜观测的进展,包括技术挑战和可能的未来改进的简要讨论。

英文摘要:

Until recently, only about 10% of the total intracluster gas volume had been studied with high accuracy, leaving a vast region essentially unexplored. This is now changing and a wide area of hot gas physics and chemistry awaits discovery in galaxy cluster outskirts. Also, robust large-scale total mass profiles and maps are within reach. First observational and theoretical results in this emerging field have been achieved in recent years with sometimes surprising findings. Here, we summarize and illustrate the relevant underlying physical and chemical processes and review the recent progress in X-ray, Sunyaev--Zel'dovich, and weak gravitational lensing observations of cluster outskirts, including also brief discussions of technical challenges and possible future improvements.
