摘要:

对Abell 665的深(103 ks)\chandra \观测揭示了这个合并星系团中丰富的结构,包括一个强烈的激波和两个冷锋。新发现的激波的马赫数为$M$ = 3.0 $\pm$ 0.6,在冷的破裂云前面传播。这使得Abell~665成为继Bullet星团之后第二个探测到$M \approx$ 3强烈合并激波的星团。跳跃条件下的激波速度与(2.7 $\pm$ 0.7)$\times$ 10 $^3$ km sec $^{-1}$一致。新的数据还揭示了一个突出的南部冷锋,其前方有潜在的加热气体。阿贝尔665还拥有一个巨大的射电晕。有一个迹象表明,弥漫的无线电发射延伸到北部的冲击,这需要用更好的无线电数据来检查。这一新的强激波为结合X射线和射电资料研究再加速模型提供了很好的机会。

英文摘要:

Deep (103 ks) \chandra\ observations of Abell 665 have revealed rich structures in this merging galaxy cluster, including a strong shock and two cold fronts. The newly discovered shock has a Mach number of $M$ = 3.0 $\pm$ 0.6, propagating in front of a cold disrupted cloud. This makes Abell~665 the second cluster where a strong merger shock of $M \approx$ 3 has been detected, after the Bullet cluster. The shock velocity from jump conditions is consistent with (2.7 $\pm$ 0.7) $\times$ 10$^3$ km sec$^{-1}$. The new data also reveal a prominent southern cold front, with potentially heated gas ahead of it. Abell 665 also hosts a giant radio halo. There is a hint of diffuse radio emission extending to the shock at the north, which needs to be examined with better radio data. This new strong shock provides a great opportunity to study the re-acceleration model with the X-ray and radio data combined.
