摘要:

本文报道了对星系团RXJ 0334.2 -0111的66 ksec $\textit{Chandra}$ X射线观测。这项深入的观测揭示了一个独特的弓形激波系统与广角尾(WAT)射电星系和几个有趣的子结构。穿过弓形激波的温度以$\sim$ 1.5的因子跳跃(从4.1 keV到6.2 keV),并且与马赫数$M = 1.6_{-0.3}^{+0.5}$一致。第二个内表面亮度边缘是一个冷锋,它标志着下沉的子星系团冷核和主星系团ICM之间的边界。冷锋两侧的温度从$1.3_{-0.8}^{+0.3}$ keV增加到$6.2_{-0.6}^{+0.6}$ keV。在冷锋以东约250 kpc处有一个超压区$\sim$,称为“东部延伸区"。EE可能是正在进行的合并中的第三个子集群的一部分。我们还发现了一个尾部形状的功能,起源于附近的弓形激波,并可能延伸到距离$\sim$ 1兆秒差距。这个特征也可能是过压的。明亮的FR-I射电星系,3C 89,似乎是下沉子星系团的cD星系。我们从喷流弯曲和X射线气体与射电瓣之间可能的相互作用来估计3C 89的喷流功率。对所有已知的冲击波阵面/冷锋组合的冲击波距和马赫数进行比较表明,核心的尺寸通过剥离而不断缩小。

英文摘要:

We present a 66 ksec $\textit{Chandra}$ X-ray observation of the galaxy cluster RXJ0334.2-0111. This deep observation revealed a unique bow shock system associated with a wide angle tail (WAT) radio galaxy and several intriguing substructures. The temperature across the bow shock jumps by a factor of $\sim$ 1.5 (from 4.1 keV to 6.2 keV), and is consistent with the Mach number $M = 1.6_{-0.3}^{+0.5}$. A second inner surface brightness edge is a cold front that marks the border between infalling subcluster cool core and the ICM of the main cluster. The temperature across the cold front increases from $1.3_{-0.8}^{+0.3}$ keV to $6.2_{-0.6}^{+0.6}$ keV. We find an overpressurized region $\sim$ 250 kpc east of the cold front that is named "the eastern extension (EE)". The EE may be a part of the third subcluster in the ongoing merger. We also find a tail shaped feature that originates near the bow shock and may extend up to a distance of $\sim$ 1 Mpc. This feature is also likely overpressurized. The luminous FR-I radio galaxy, 3C89, appears to be the cD galaxy of the infalling subcluster. We estimated 3C89's jet power from jet bending and the possible interaction between the X-ray gas and the radio lobes. A comparison between the shock stand-off distance and the Mach number for all known shock front/cold front combinations suggests that the core is continuously shrinking in size by stripping.
