摘要:

我们使用深钱德拉X射线观测和无线电连续成像相结合,调查的起源和目前的状态,在螺旋丰富的紧凑组HCG 16的组内介质。我们确认存在一个微弱的($L_{X,{\rm bolo}}$ =1.87 $^{+1.03}_{-0.66}$ $\times$ 10 $^{41}$ erg/s),低温(0.30 $^{+0.07}_{-0.05}$ keV)的群内介质(IGM),它贯穿ACIS-S3的视场,并有一个脊连接着四个原始的群成员并向东南方向延伸,正如以前的Rosat和XMM-牛顿观测所表明的那样。这个脊包含6.6 $^{+3.9}_{-3.3}$ $\times$ 10 $^9$太阳质量的热气体,并且至少部分地与大尺度HI潮汐暗条重合,表明群内部的IGM是高度多相的。我们提出的证据表明,该集团尚未维里化,并表明,气体可能已从NGC 838和NGC 839的星暴风到周围的IGM。考虑到IGM的可能起源,我们认为星系风喷出的物质可能发挥了重要作用,贡献了系统中观测到的热气体的20-40%。

英文摘要:

We use a combination of deep Chandra X-ray observations and radio continuum imaging to investigate the origin and current state of the intra-group medium in the spiral-rich compact group HCG 16. We confirm the presence of a faint ($L_{X,{\rm bolo}}$=1.87$^{+1.03}_{-0.66}$$\times$10$^{41}$ erg/s), low temperature (0.30$^{+0.07}_{-0.05}$ keV) intra-group medium (IGM) extending throughout the ACIS-S3 field of view, with a ridge linking the four original group members and extending to the southeast, as suggested by previous Rosat and XMM-Newton observations. This ridge contains 6.6$^{+3.9}_{-3.3}$$\times$10$^9$ solar masses of hot gas and is at least partly coincident with a large-scale HI tidal filament, indicating that the IGM in the inner part of the group is highly multi-phase. We present evidence that the group is not yet virialised, and show that gas has probably been transported from the starburst winds of NGC 838 and NGC 839 into the surrounding IGM. Considering the possible origin of the IGM, we argue that material ejected by galactic winds may have played a significant role, contributing 20-40% of the observed hot gas in the system.
