摘要:

在当前的时代,驱动星系团增长的主要机制之一是群尺度晕的持续吸积。在这一过程中,热的团内介质对下落团的气体成分施加的冲压压力负责将气体从其暗物质晕中剥离,这逐渐导致下落气体在主团的势阱中的维里化。利用XMM-Newton和Suzaku对贫穷星系团Hydra A/A780的深宽场观测,我们报告了在星系团核心以南1.1 Mpc处发现一个正在下沉的星系群。在这个区域的星系的动力学研究证实了子结构的存在。一股剥离的天然气尾流尾随在这群人后面,预计规模为760千帕。沿着尾流的气体的温度恒定在kT ~ 1.3 keV,这比周围等离子体的温度小大约两倍。我们观察到一个冷锋指向西方相比,该集团的高峰,这表明该集团目前没有在主集群的方向移动,但正在沿着几乎圆形的轨道移动。该组的整体形态具有显着的相似之处,高分辨率的数值模拟这样的结构,这大大加强了我们的理解的冲压压力剥离过程。

英文摘要:

In the current epoch, one of the main mechanisms driving the growth of galaxy clusters is the continuous accretion of group-scale halos. In this process, the ram pressure applied by the hot intracluster medium on the gas content of the infalling group is responsible for stripping the gas from its dark-matter halo, which gradually leads to the virialization of the infalling gas in the potential well of the main cluster. Using deep wide-field observations of the poor cluster Hydra A/A780 with XMM-Newton and Suzaku, we report the discovery of an infalling galaxy group 1.1 Mpc south of the cluster core. The presence of a substructure is confirmed by a dynamical study of the galaxies in this region. A wake of stripped gas is trailing behind the group over a projected scale of 760 kpc. The temperature of the gas along the wake is constant at kT ~ 1.3 keV, which is about a factor of two less than the temperature of the surrounding plasma. We observe a cold front pointing westwards compared to the peak of the group, which indicates that the group is currently not moving in the direction of the main cluster, but is moving along an almost circular orbit. The overall morphology of the group bears remarkable similarities with high-resolution numerical simulations of such structures, which greatly strengthens our understanding of the ram-pressure stripping process.
