星系群和星系团中间歇射电源的可观测性

Observability of intermittent radio sources in galaxy groups and clusters

Patrick Yates, Stanislav Shabala, Martin Krause

摘要:

我们已经进行了数值流体动力学模拟的射电喷流从活动星系核使用PLUTO模拟代码,其目的是调查不同的环境和能量注入的不稳定性的影响所产生的动力学和可观察的属性的喷气膨胀叶。最初的锥形射流模拟在贫穷的群体和集群环境。我们表明,无线电喷流传播的环境中起着很大的作用,所产生的形态,动力学和可观察到的性质的无线电源。同样的喷流在一个贫穷的群体中比在一个集群中准直得晚得多,这导致了射电形态的明显差异。喷流的不稳定性也会影响射电源的可观测特性,在星团环境中,多个爆发喷流存在多个热点。我们量化的可检测性的活动和静止阶段,并发现这是强烈的环境依赖性。我们的结论是喷流的动力学和观测特性强烈依赖于能量注入和环境的细节。

英文摘要:

We have carried out numerical hydrodynamic simulations of radio jets from active galactic nuclei using the PLUTO simulation code, with the aim of investigating the effect of different environments and intermittency of energy injection on the resulting dynamics and observable properties of the jet-inflated lobes. Initially conical jets are simulated in poor group and cluster environments. We show that the environment into which a radio jet is propagating plays a large role in the resulting morphology, dynamics and observable properties of the radio source. The same jet collimates much later in a poor group compared to a cluster, which leads to pronounced differences in radio morphology. The intermittency of the jet also affects the observable properties of the radio source, and multiple hotspots are present for multiple outburst jets in the cluster environment. We quantify the detectability of active and quiescent phases, and find this to be strongly environment-dependent. We conclude that the dynamics and observational properties of jets depend strongly on the details of energy injection and environment.
