摘要:

钱德拉X射线天文台的观测被用来检查从银河系和质量大会调查的光学朋友圈组目录中选择的10个星系组样本内的热气性质。我们的小组已被筛选,以消除虚假和非放松的系统,这一程序的有效性证明了我们的样本的80%的星系际热气体的检测。然而,我们发现,9的10个是X射线欠发光的平均因子为$\sim$ 4相比,典型的X射线选择的样品。与此相一致,我们的大多数组的气体分数较低,气体熵略高于典型的X射线选择的样品中所看到的。这两个星系团的气体熵有很高的2σ下限,是某些活动星系核反馈模型预测的高熵星系团的候选者.

英文摘要:

Observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory are used to examine the hot gas properties within a sample of 10 galaxy groups selected from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey's optical Friends-of-Friends group catalogue. Our groups have been screened to eliminate spurious and unrelaxed systems, and the effectiveness of this procedure is demonstrated by the detection of intergalactic hot gas in 80 per cent of our sample. However, we find that 9 of the 10 are X-ray underluminous by a mean factor of $\sim$4 compared to typical X-ray-selected samples. Consistent with this, the majority of our groups have gas fractions that are lower and gas entropies somewhat higher than those seen in typical X-ray-selected samples. Two groups, which have high 2σ lower limits on their gas entropy, are candidates for the population of high-entropy groups predicted by some active galactic nucleus feedback models.
