摘要:

我们报告了澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列(ATCA)15毫米观测的凤凰星系团拥有一个极端的星爆最亮的星系团(BCG)在集群中心的结果。我们对BCG周围的射电辐射进行了空间分辨,发现了从BCG的活动星系核(AGN)向外延伸的弥散双极和棒状结构。它们很可能是射电喷流/波瓣,其大小约为10-20千秒差距,位置与X射线空洞对齐。如果我们假设射电喷流/波瓣随声速而膨胀,则它们的年龄估计约为1000万年。我们还在中心附近发现了致密的射电辐射,这表明它们是另一个年轻的双极喷流,年龄约为100万年。此外,我们还发现了活动星系核周围的扩展射电辐射,并通过考虑分子团对同步辐射的部分吸收、来自温暖电离气体的自由-自由辐射以及来自环星系尘埃介质的旋转尘埃辐射,讨论了活动星系核周围的扩展射电辐射是冷却流产物的可能性。

英文摘要:

We report the results of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) 15 mm observation of the Phoenix galaxy cluster possessing an extreme star-burst brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) at the cluster center. We spatially resolved radio emission around the BCG, and found diffuse bipolar and bar-shape structures extending from the active galactic nucleus (AGN) of the BCG. They are likely radio jets/lobes, whose sizes are ~10-20 kpc and locations are aligned with X-ray cavities. If we assume that the radio jets/lobes expand with the sound velocity, their ages are estimated to be ~10 Myr. We also found compact radio emissions near the center and suggest that they are another young bipolar jets with ~1 Myr of age. Moreover, we found extended radio emission surrounding the AGN and discussed the possibility that the component is a product of the cooling flow, by considering synchrotron radiation partially absorbed by molecular clumps, free-free emission from the warm ionized gas, and the spinning dust emission from dusty circum-galactic medium.
