摘要:

在这里,我们分析了一个奇特的集群阿贝尔578的无线电,光学和X射线数据。该集群不是完全放松的,由两个合并的子系统组成。最亮的星团星系CGPG 0719.8+6704是一对相互作用的椭圆星系,投影间距为$\sim$ 10 kpc,其中较亮的一个拥有射电源4C +67.13。4C +67.13的Fanaroff-Riley II型射电形态在本星系团的中央射电星系中是不寻常的。我们的新光谱显示,CGPG 0719.8+6704对的两个核都是活跃的,尽管其吸积速率与爱丁顿比$\sim10^{-4}$相对应(对于估计的黑洞质量$\sim 3 \times 10^8\,M_\odot$和$\sim 10^9 \, M_\odot$)。收集到的X射线({ \it钱德拉})数据使我们能够确认和量化之前注意到的主要子集群中的气体大气的伸长,以及最亮的集群星系的位置和集群中心之间的大空间偏移($\sim 60$ \,kpc投影)推断从模拟的X射线表面亮度分布。对亮度剖面和温度的详细分析还表明,在4C +67.13附近的团簇气体被压缩(大约是$\sim 1.4$的一个因子)和加热(从$\simeq 2.0$,keV到2.7\,keV),这与膨胀的喷流茧驱动的弱激波(马赫数$\sim 1.3$)的存在相一致。这就要求喷流动能的量级为$\sim 10^{45}$ \,erg\,s $^{-1}$,这意味着对于当前的吸积速率,喷流产生的效率非常高,或者系统中高度调制的喷流/吸积活动。

英文摘要:

Here we analyze radio, optical, and X-ray data for a peculiar cluster Abell 578. This cluster is not fully relaxed and consists of two merging sub-systems. The brightest cluster galaxy, CGPG 0719.8+6704, is a pair of interacting ellipticals with projected separation $\sim$10 kpc, the brighter of which hosts the radio source 4C +67.13. The Fanaroff-Riley type-II radio morphology of 4C +67.13 is unusual for central radio galaxies in local Abell clusters. Our new optical spectroscopy revealed that both nuclei of the CGPG 0719.8+6704 pair are active, albeit at low accretion rates corresponding to the Eddington ratio $\sim10^{-4}$ (for the estimated black hole masses of $\sim 3 \times 10^8\,M_\odot$ and $\sim 10^9 \, M_\odot$). The gathered X-ray ({\it Chandra}) data allowed us to confirm and to quantify robustly the previously noted elongation of the gaseous atmosphere in the dominant sub-cluster, as well as a large spatial offset ($\sim 60$\,kpc projected) between the position of the brightest cluster galaxy and the cluster center inferred from the modeling of the X-ray surface brightness distribution. Detailed analysis of the brightness profiles and temperature revealed also that the cluster gas in the vicinity of 4C\,+67.13 is compressed (by a factor of about $\sim 1.4$) and heated (from $\simeq 2.0$\,keV up to 2.7\,keV), consistent with the presence of a weak shock (Mach number $\sim 1.3$) driven by the expanding jet cocoon. This would then require the jet kinetic power of the order of $\sim 10^{45}$\,erg\,s$^{-1}$, implying either a very high efficiency of the jet production for the current accretion rate, or a highly modulated jet/accretion activity in the system.
