摘要：

先前对化石群/星系团RXJ 1159 +5531的分析表明，与其他冷核星系团相比，在维里半径（$R_{\rm vir}$）处的径向星系团内介质（ICM）熵分布与纯重力宇宙学模拟的预测一致。为了研究这些结果的一般性，我们提出了三个新的朱雀观测，结合北指向，提供完整的方位角覆盖到$R_{\rm vir}$。两个新的钱德拉ACIS-I观测重叠北朱雀指向，我们已经解决了$\gtrsim$ 50%的宇宙X射线背景。我们提出的ICM的密度，温度，熵，和压力的径向轮廓获得的四个方向。我们在$R_{\rm 200}$测量到的ICM特性在朱雀点之间只有适度的方位角散射：温度为7.6%，密度为8.6%，而系统误差可能很大。特别是，对于朱雀观测到的少数其他星系团，温度散射低于在$R_{\rm 200}$研究的温度散射。这些方位角测量证实了RXJ 1159 +5531是一个规则的高度弛豫系统。我们对RXJ 1159 +5531测量的表现良好的熵分布不赞成吸积激波的减弱作为其他冷核星系团中熵平坦化的解释，但与其他解释一致，如气体聚集，电子-离子非平衡，非热压力支持和宇宙射线加速。最后，我们提到RXJ 1159 +5531的大尺度星系密度分布似乎对其在$R_{\rm vir}$附近的气体性质影响不大。

英文摘要：

Previous analysis of the fossil-group/cluster RXJ1159+5531 with X-ray observations from a central Chandra pointing and an offset-North Suzaku pointing indicate a radial intracluster medium (ICM) entropy profile at the virial radius ($R_{\rm vir}$) consistent with predictions from gravity-only cosmological simulations, in contrast to other cool-core clusters. To examine the generality of these results, we present three new Suzaku observations that, in conjunction with the North pointing, provide complete azimuthal coverage out to $R_{\rm vir}$. With two new Chandra ACIS-I observations overlapping the North Suzaku pointing, we have resolved $\gtrsim$50\% of the cosmic X-ray background there. We present radial profiles of the ICM density, temperature, entropy, and pressure obtained for each of the four directions. We measure only modest azimuthal scatter in the ICM properties at $R_{\rm 200}$ between the Suzaku pointings: 7.6\% in temperature and 8.6\% in density, while the systematic errors can be significant. The temperature scatter, in particular, is lower than that studied at $R_{\rm 200}$ for a small number of other clusters observed with Suzaku. These azimuthal measurements verify that RXJ1159+5531 is a regular, highly relaxed system. The well-behaved entropy profiles we have measured for RXJ1159+5531 disfavor the weakening of the accretion shock as an explanation of the entropy flattening found in other cool-core clusters but is consistent with other explanations such as gas clumping, electron-ion non-equilibrium, non-thermal pressure support, and cosmic ray acceleration. Finally, we mention that the large-scale galaxy density distribution of RXJ1159+5531 seems to have little impact on its gas properties near $R_{\rm vir}$.
