摘要:

大质量星系X射线光度(LX)与周围气体温度(T)的关系是观测宇宙学和星系演化模型的重要基础。在质量最大的星系团中,这种关系主要取决于宇宙结构的形成。在质量较小的系统中,它主要反映了环星系气体辐射冷却的反馈响应。在这里,我们提出了一个简单而强大的模型的L_X-T关系的函数的物理孔径R内,这些测量。该模型是基于AGN反馈的沉淀框架,并假设环银河系介质是沉淀调节在小半径和宇宙结构的形成在大半径的限制。我们将该模型与许多不同的数据集进行了比较,结果表明,它成功地再现了从~0.2 keV到>10 keV温度范围内L_X-T-R关系的斜率和上包络。我们的研究结果强烈表明,负责调节单个大质量星系中恒星形成的反馈机制与调节星系团核心的沉淀触发反馈有很多共同之处。

英文摘要:

The relation between X-ray luminosity (L_X) and ambient gas temperature (T) among massive galactic systems is an important cornerstone of both observational cosmology and galaxy-evolution modeling. In the most massive galaxy clusters, the relation is determined primarily by cosmological structure formation. In less massive systems, it primarily reflects the feedback response to radiative cooling of circumgalactic gas. Here we present a simple but powerful model for the L_X-T relation as a function of physical aperture R within which those measurements are made. The model is based on the precipitation framework for AGN feedback and assumes that the circumgalactic medium is precipitation-regulated at small radii and limited by cosmological structure formation at large radii. We compare this model with many different data sets and show that it successfully reproduces the slope and upper envelope of the L_X-T-R relation over the temperature range from ~0.2 keV through >10 keV. Our findings strongly suggest that the feedback mechanisms responsible for regulating star formation in individual massive galaxies have much in common with the precipitation-triggered feedback that appears to regulate galaxy-cluster cores.
