星系团的X射线光谱学:超越CIE模型

X-ray spectroscopy of galaxy clusters: beyond the CIE modeling

摘要:

星系团的X射线谱主要由团内热介质的热辐射所控制。在某些情况下,除了热分量之外,光谱模型还需要相关的附加分量,例如,共振散射和电荷交换。后者主要产生欠发光的精细光谱特征。因此,额外成分的检测需要高光谱分辨率。即将到来的X射线任务将提供如此高的分辨率,并将允许光谱诊断的集群超越目前简单的热建模。一个代表性的科学案例是共振散射,它产生的光谱失真的发射线从占主导地位的热成分。考虑共振散射对于ICM的精确丰度和气体运动测量至关重要。高分辨率光谱还可能揭示/证实一些新的光谱成分,包括非热电子的激发,电离平衡的偏离,以及团簇中冷气体云表面的电荷交换。除了检测新的特征,未来的高分辨率光谱学还将能够更好地测量热分量。因此,需要准确的原子数据库和适当的热谱建模来解释数据。

英文摘要:

X-ray spectra of galaxy clusters are dominated by the thermal emission from the hot intracluster medium. In some cases, besides the thermal component, spectral models require additional components associated, e.g., with resonant scattering and charge exchange. The latter produces mostly underluminous fine spectral features. Detection of the extra components therefore requires high spectral resolution. The upcoming X-ray missions will provide such high resolution, and will allow spectroscopic diagnostics of clusters beyond the current simple thermal modeling. A representative science case is resonant scattering, which produces spectral distortions of the emission lines from the dominant thermal component. Accounting for the resonant scattering is essential for accurate abundance and gas motion measurements of the ICM. The high resolution spectroscopy might also reveal/corroborate a number of new spectral components, including the excitation by non-thermal electrons, the deviation from ionization equilibrium, and charge exchange from surface of cold gas clouds in clusters. Apart from detecting new features, future high resolution spectroscopy will also enable a much better measurement of the thermal component. Accurate atomic database and appropriate modeling of the thermal spectrum are therefore needed for interpreting the data.
