摘要:

我们对南极望远镜2500 deg^2巡天中四个最松弛的星团进行了多波长分析,它们位于0.55 < z < 0.75。这项研究利用了来自钱德拉和哈勃的新的深层数据,以及来自双子座和麦哲伦的地基光谱学,在深度和角分辨率方面都显着改善了以前的研究,使我们能够直接与z~0的星系团进行比较。我们发现四个星系团的温度、密度和熵分布非常相似,并且在z~0处的形状与星系团相似。具体来说,我们没有发现在10 kpc < r <1 Mpc的径向范围内温度分布偏离自相似性的证据,这意味着在过去>6 Gyr的过程中,负责防止失控冷却的过程至少大致保持了自相似性。在ICM的主体中发现了典型的~ 0.3Zsun的金属丰度,在内部~100 kpc中上升到~ 0.5Zsun,并且在r <10 kpc时达到~1 Zsun。这种中心过剩的大小与z~0处最松弛的星系团中观察到的相似,这表明我们在z~0处的冷核心星系团中看到的整体金属丰度和中心过剩都在星系团生命的早期就已经存在,特别是,中心过剩不是由于中心星系的晚期富集。与z~0观测结果一致,我们测量了这四个星团中央最亮星系团中恒星星族的多样性,尽管冷却时间、冷却速率和中心熵相似,但恒星形成速率跨越约500倍。这些数据表明,虽然系统之间的细节差异很大,但在过去的6 Gyr中,失控冷却在松弛的星系团中得到了广泛的调节。

英文摘要:

We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the four most relaxed clusters in the South Pole Telescope 2500 deg^2 survey, which lie at 0.55 < z < 0.75. This study, which utilizes new, deep data from Chandra and Hubble, along with ground-based spectroscopy from Gemini and Magellan, improves significantly on previous studies in both depth and angular resolution, allowing us to directly compare to clusters at z~0. We find that the temperature, density, and entropy profiles of the intracluster medium (ICM) are very similar among the four clusters, and share similar shapes to clusters at z~0. Specifically, we find no evidence for deviations from self similarity in the temperature profile over the radial range 10kpc < r < 1Mpc, implying that the processes responsible for preventing runaway cooling over the past >6 Gyr are, at least roughly, preserving self similarity. We find typical metallicities of ~0.3 Zsun in the bulk of the ICM, rising to ~0.5 Zsun in the inner ~100 kpc, and reaching ~1 Zsun at r < 10kpc. This central excess is similar in magnitude to what is observed in the most relaxed clusters at z~0, suggesting that both the global metallicity and the central excess that we see in cool core clusters at z~0 were in place very early in the cluster lifetime and, specifically, that the central excess is not due to late-time enrichment by the central galaxy. Consistent with observations at z~0, we measure a diversity of stellar populations in the central brightest cluster galaxies of these four clusters, with star formation rates spanning a factor of ~500, despite the similarity in cooling time, cooling rate, and central entropy. These data suggest that, while the details vary dramatically from system to system, runaway cooling has been broadly regulated in relaxed clusters over the past 6 Gyr.
