摘要:

我们提出了一个无线电和X射线研究PKS 1353-341,最明亮的星系团的射电源在最近钱德拉发现的X射线集群的中心。我们的多频VLA图像揭示了一个边缘增亮(FR-II),双叶结构,总~50 kpc的范围和1.5 GHz的功率$1.2\times10^{25}$ W Hz $^{-1}$,从明亮的,角秒尺度的核心分离。我们重新分析了钱德拉的数据,发现活动星系核发射的X射线与温度为$kT=3.1\pm0.5$ keV、半径约为22 kpc的紧凑型X射线冷核偏移约9 kpc,周围是更热的$kT=6.3\pm0.7$ keV气体,约为50 kpc。这种偏移表明,活动星系核的一次小的合并或过去的一次爆发产生了大规模的射电瓣,从而引起了冷核内部的晃动。不同温度的X射线等离子体之间的界面的叶瓣的可比空间尺度表明,叶瓣正在积极加热现在是残余的紧凑的冷核的外层。我们的双频VLBA图像揭示了中央射电源的子结构,包括一个无线电核心,双面pc尺度喷流指向kpc尺度结构。北喷流仅在8.4 GHz处被检测到,表明其发射位于吸收环面或圆盘后面。我们还测量了更快的明显的运动,在南部的急流高达$1.9\pm1.1c$比在北部的急流($0.8\pm0.5c$)。虽然VLBA的观测结果表明,南方的喷流稍微靠近我们的视线,但总体上不对称性是适度的,这意味着大规模射电结构中的投影效应最小。

英文摘要:

We present a radio and X-ray study of PKS 1353-341, the brightest cluster galaxy radio source at the center of a recent Chandra-discovered X-ray cluster. Our multi-frequency VLA images reveal an edge-brightened (FR-II), double-lobed structure with total ~50 kpc extent and 1.5 GHz power of $1.2\times10^{25}$ W Hz$^{-1}$, separated from the bright, arcsecond-scale core. We reanalyzed the Chandra data and found the X-ray emitting AGN is offset by ~9 kpc from a compact X-ray cool-core with temperature, $kT=3.1\pm0.5$ keV, and a radius of ~22 kpc, surrounded by a hotter $kT=6.3\pm0.7$ keV gas out to ~50 kpc. The offset suggests sloshing inside the cool-core induced by a minor merger or a past outburst of the AGN that produced the large-scale radio lobes. The comparable spatial scales of the lobes with the interface between the different temperature X-ray plasma indicate the lobes are actively heating the outer layers of what is now a remnant compact cool-core. Our dual-frequency VLBA images reveal substructure in the central radio source, consisting of a radio core with double-sided pc-scale jets pointing toward the kpc-scale structures. The northern jet is detected only at 8.4 GHz, indicating its emission is behind an absorbing torus or disk. We also measured faster apparent motions in the southern jet up to $1.9\pm1.1c$ than in the northern jet ($0.8\pm0.5c$). While the VLBA observations indicate the southern jet is aligned slightly closer to our line of sight, the asymmetries are overall modest and imply minimal projection effects in the large-scale radio structures.
