摘要:

我们提出了朱雀观测半人马座集群到0.95r200,采取沿带西北。我们还使用了钱德拉观测的郊区,以解决点源下降到一个阈值通量约7倍,低于仅朱雀数据,大大减少了系统的不确定性宇宙X射线背景发射在郊区。我们发现,温度下降的一个因素2,从峰值温度到郊区。的熵配置文件演示了一个中央过剩(0.5r200内)的基线熵配置文件预测的模拟纯粹的引力层次结构的形成。在郊区,熵分布与Voit等人的基线熵分布合理一致,我们发现,压力分布与Arnaud等人的普遍压力分布一致,但在外围略高于它。郊区的超压和熵的减少似乎是测量的气体密度过大的结果,可能是由于气体聚集使密度测量偏高。气体质量分数上升,并达到平均宇宙重子分数在最大半径的研究。团簇校正的气体质量分数与预期的热气体分数和Young等人的模拟一致。我们进一步分析了Walker等人的分析,该分析研究了迄今为止在朱雀外围探索的星团熵分布的形状。当按自相似熵缩放时,朱雀熵曲线显示出超过基线熵曲线的中心过剩,并且在r500左右与之一致。然而,在r500之外,熵分布倾向于低于基线熵分布。

英文摘要:

We present Suzaku observations of the Centaurus cluster out to 0.95r200, taken along a strip to the north west. We have also used congruent Chandra observations of the outskirts to resolve point sources down to a threshold flux around 7 times lower than that achievable with just Suzaku data, considerably reducing the systematic uncertainties in the cosmic X-ray background emission in the outskirts. We find that the temperature decreases by a factor of 2 from the peak temperature to the outskirts. The entropy profile demonstrates a central excess (within 0.5r200) over the baseline entropy profile predicted by simulations of purely gravitational hierarchical structure formation. In the outskirts the entropy profile is in reasonable agreement with the baseline entropy profile from Voit et al., but lies slightly below it. We find that the pressure profile agrees with the universal pressure profile of Arnaud et al. but lies slightly above it in the outskirts. The excess pressure and decrement in entropy in the outskirts appear to be the result of an excess in the measured gas density, possible due to gas clumping biasing the density measurements high. The gas mass fraction rises and reaches the mean cosmic baryon fraction at the largest radius studied. The clumping corrected gas mass fraction agrees with the expected hot gas fraction and with the simulations of Young et al. We further the analysis of Walker et al. which studied the shapes of the entropy profiles of the clusters so far explored in the outskirts with Suzaku. When scaled by the self similar entropy the Suzaku entropy profiles demonstrate a central excess over the baseline entropy profile, and are consistent with it at around r500 . However outside r500 the entropy profiles tend to lie below the baseline entropy profile.
