用Chandra CCD数据搜索大质量合并星系团的ICM中的体运动

Searching for bulk motions in the ICM of massive, merging clusters with Chandra CCD data

摘要:

我们寻找大规模集群的集群内介质(ICM)的散装运动显示正在进行或最近的主要合并与空间分辨光谱{ \sl钱德拉} CCD数据的证据。我们确定了一个样本的6个合并集团与$>$ 150 ks { \sl钱德拉}曝光的红移范围$0.1 < z < 0.3$。通过对根据表面亮度选择的ICM投影区域进行X射线光谱分析,我们得到了所有这些星系团的投影红移图。在对测量的X射线红移$z_{\rm X}$的统计和系统不确定性进行了稳健的分析后,我们检查了ICM静止时的全局$z_{\rm X}$分布是否与预期的不同。在A2142和A115中,我们发现了大于3 $σ$的显著体运动的证据,在A2034和A520中,$σ$小于2 $σ$。专注于单个区域,我们确定了显着的本地化速度差异,在所有的合并集群。我们还进行了同样的分析,两个放松集群没有签名的最近合并,没有发现散装运动的迹象,正如预期的那样。我们的研究结果表明,深{ \sl钱德拉} CCD数据使我们能够确定在$0.1<z<0.3$的大规模合并集团的ICM中的$v_{\rm BM} >$ 1000\ ${\rm km\ s^{-1}}$水平的整体运动的存在。虽然CCD光谱分辨率不足以对ICM动力学进行详细分析,但{ \sl Chandra} CCD数据构成了补充未来X射线飞行任务中X射线测辐射热计的关键诊断工具。

英文摘要:

We search for bulk motions in the intracluster medium (ICM) of massive clusters showing evidence of an ongoing or recent major merger with spatially resolved spectroscopy in {\sl Chandra} CCD data. We identify a sample of 6 merging clusters with $>$150 ks {\sl Chandra} exposure in the redshift range $0.1 < z < 0.3$. By performing X-ray spectral analysis of projected ICM regions selected according to their surface brightness, we obtain the projected redshift maps for all of these clusters. After performing a robust analysis of the statistical and systematic uncertainties in the measured X-ray redshift $z_{\rm X}$, we check whether or not the global $z_{\rm X}$ distribution differs from that expected when the ICM is at rest. We find evidence of significant bulk motions at more than 3$σ$ in A2142 and A115, and less than 2$σ$ in A2034 and A520. Focusing on single regions, we identify significant localized velocity differences in all of the merging clusters. We also perform the same analysis on two relaxed clusters with no signatures of recent mergers, finding no signs of bulk motions, as expected. Our results indicate that deep {\sl Chandra} CCD data enable us to identify the presence of bulk motions at the level of $v_{\rm BM} >$ 1000\ ${\rm km\ s^{-1}}$ in the ICM of massive merging clusters at $0.1<z<0.3$. Although the CCD spectral resolution is not sufficient for a detailed analysis of the ICM dynamics, {\sl Chandra} CCD data constitute a key diagnostic tool complementing X-ray bolometers on board future X-ray missions.
