摘要:

我们目前的LOFAR数据从110- 180兆赫的合并星系团阿贝尔1682,以及档案光学,无线电和X射线数据。我们的低频6弧秒分辨率图像揭示了与星系团中许多射电星系相关的新结构。在20弧秒的分辨率下,我们看到整个星系团的散射辐射超过数百千秒差距,这表明粒子加速机制是星系团合并事件和强大的活动星系核的结果。我们发现,一个显着的一部分,集群的排放是从一个老的射电星系非常陡峭的光谱发射(具有光谱指数$α< -2.5$)。此外,我们确定了一个新的区域的弥漫陡谱发射($α< -1.1$)作为一个候选人的无线电晕,这是同空间的集群合并的中心。我们建议它的起源作为一个人口的老和温和的相对论性电子遗留下来的射电星系在整个集群已重新加速到更高的能量的冲击和湍流引起的集群合并事件。我们还注意到在Abell 1682附近发现了六个新的巨型射电星系。

英文摘要:

We present LOFAR data from 110--180~MHz of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 1682, alongside archival optical, radio and X-ray data. Our 6 arc-second resolution images at low frequencies reveal new structures associated with numerous radio galaxies in the cluster. At 20 arc-second resolution we see diffuse emission throughout the cluster over hundreds of kpc, indicating particle acceleration mechanisms are in play as a result of the cluster merger event and powerful active galactic nuclei. We show that a significant part of the cluster emission is from an old radio galaxy with very steep spectrum emission (having a spectral index of $α< -2.5$). Furthermore we identify a new region of diffuse steep spectrum emission ($α< -1.1$) as a candidate for a radio halo which is co-spatial with the centre of the cluster merger. We suggest its origin as a population of old and mildly relativistic electrons left over from radio galaxies throughout the cluster which have been re-accelerated to higher energies by shocks and turbulence induced by the cluster merger event. We also note the discovery of six new giant radio galaxies in the vicinity of Abell 1682.
