摘要:

我们报告在低质量合并星系团阿贝尔168(红移=0.045)的外围发现了孪生射电遗迹。其中一个遗迹被拉长,线性范围为$\sim$ 800 kpc,投影宽度为$\sim$ 80 kpc,位于星团中心以北$\sim$ 900 kpc处,大致垂直于X射线发射的主轴。第二个遗迹是环形的,大小为$\sim$ 220 kpc,位于细长遗迹的内边缘附近,距离星团中心$\sim$ 600 kpc。这些射电源在323和608兆赫的巨型米波射电望远镜和在1520兆赫的卡尔G Jansky甚大阵(VLA)成像。在1.4GHz的1.38 $\pm 0.14 \times 10^{23}$ W Hz $^{-1}$的无线电功率下,在所有频率下都检测到细长的遗迹,该$^{-1}$在70 - 1500 MHz的频率范围内具有幂律(S $\propto ν^α, α= -1.1 \pm 0.04$)。这是在良好的协议,从已知的经验关系的遗迹和主机集群质量之间的无线电功率的预期。这是最低质量(M $_{500}$ = 1.24 $\times$ 10 $^{14}$ M $_{o}$)的集群,其中检测到由于合并冲击的遗迹。环形遗迹在100 - 600 MHz频率范围内具有-1.74 $\pm$ 0.29的较陡频谱指数($α$)。我们建议这个遗迹是一个旧的等离子体复活由于绝热压缩的传出冲击产生的细长遗迹。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of twin radio relics in the outskirts of the low-mass merging galaxy cluster Abell 168 (redshift=0.045). One of the relics is elongated with a linear extent $\sim$ 800 kpc, a projected width of $\sim$ 80 kpc and is located $\sim$ 900 kpc toward the north of the cluster center, oriented roughly perpendicular to the major axis of the X-ray emission. The second relic is ring-shaped with a size $\sim$ 220 kpc and is located near the inner edge of the elongated relic at a distance of $\sim$ 600 kpc from the cluster center. These radio sources were imaged at 323 and 608 MHz with the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope and at 1520 MHz with the Karl G Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). The elongated relic was detected at all the frequencies with a radio power at 1.4 GHz of 1.38$\pm 0.14 \times 10^{23}$ W Hz$^{-1}$ having a power law in the frequency range 70 - 1500 MHz (S$\propto ν^α, α= -1.1 \pm 0.04$). This radio power is in good agreement with that expected from the known empirical relation between the radio powers of relics and the host cluster masses. This is the lowest mass (M$_{500}$ = 1.24$\times$10$^{14}$ M$_{o}$) cluster in which relics due to merger shocks are detected. The ring-shaped relic has a steeper spectral index ($α$) of -1.74$\pm$0.29 in the frequency range 100 - 600 MHz. We propose this relic to be an old plasma revived due to adiabatic compression by the outgoing shock which produced the elongated relic.
