利用深钱德拉观测探索Abell 1795中一个大空洞的起源

Exploring the origin of a large cavity in Abell 1795 using deep Chandra observations

S. A. Walker, A. C. Fabian, P. Kosec

摘要:

我们检查深堆叠钱德拉观测的星系团阿贝尔1795(超过700千秒差距),深入研究一个大的(34千秒差距半径)腔的X射线发射。奇怪的是,尽管形成这个空洞需要很大的能量(4PV= 4 × 10^60 erg),但在星团的另一侧并没有明显的空洞对应物,如果它是由于中心活动星系核的喷流膨胀气泡而形成的话,这是可以预期的。也没有与空洞相关的无线电发射,并且在它和BCG之间没有金属增强或细丝,这通常是在从核心升起的活动星系核膨胀的气泡中发现的。一种可能性是,这是一个古老的鬼腔,气体晃动控制了核心周围的金属分布。投影效应,特别是东南方向的长X射线亮丝,可能会阻止我们看到星系团核心对面的伴气泡。我们计算出,这样一个伴气泡很容易就能将南部暗条中的气体从核心中提升出来。有趣的是,最近人们发现,在这个空腔内有一个高度可变的X射线点源,与一个小矮星系重合。考虑到这个点源和X射线腔的显着空间相关性,我们探讨了过去这个矮星系爆发可能导致腔形成的可能性,但发现这是一个不太可能的情况。

英文摘要:

We examine deep stacked Chandra observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 1795 (over 700ks) to study in depth a large (34 kpc radius) cavity in the X-ray emission. Curiously, despite the large energy required to form this cavity (4PV=4x10^60 erg), there is no obvious counterpart to the cavity on the opposite side of the cluster, which would be expected if it has formed due to jets from the central AGN inflating bubbles. There is also no radio emission associated with the cavity, and no metal enhancement or filaments between it and the BCG, which are normally found for bubbles inflated by AGN which have risen from the core. One possibility is that this is an old ghost cavity, and that gas sloshing has dominated the distribution of metals around the core. Projection effects, particularly the long X-ray bright filament to the south east, may prevent us from seeing the companion bubble on the opposite side of the cluster core. We calculate that such a companion bubble would easily have been able to uplift the gas in the southern filament from the core. Interestingly, it has recently been found that inside the cavity is a highly variable X-ray point source coincident with a small dwarf galaxy. Given the remarkable spatial correlation of this point source and the X-ray cavity, we explore the possibility that an outburst from this dwarf galaxy in the past could have led to the formation of the cavity, but find this to be an unlikely scenario.
