摘要:

星系团中弥漫的非热辐射越来越多地在低频无线电勘测和图像中被探测到。我们提出了一个新的扩散,陡谱,非热射电源内的集群阿贝尔1127发现的调查数据从默奇森宽场阵列(MWA)。我们进行后续观察与“扩展”配置MWA第二阶段,提高分辨率,以更好地解决源和测量其低频频谱特性。我们使用档案甚大阵列S波段数据,以消除离散源的MWA数据的贡献,并从幂律模型拟合,我们发现一个频谱指数$-1.83\pm0.29$大致一致的遗迹型源。该源是由巨型米波射电望远镜(GMRT)在150兆赫揭示有一个细长的形态,与MWA数据测量的850千秒差距的投影线性大小。使用钱德拉观测,我们推导出形态估计,并定量确认集群是在一个扰动的动态状态,与大多数phoenices和文物托管合并集群一致。我们讨论了依赖形态学和低分辨率成像单独对这些来源进行分类的影响,并强调了MHz到GHz的无线电频谱在分类这些类型的排放中的有用性。最后,我们讨论的好处和局限性,使用MWA第二阶段结合其他仪器的详细研究扩散,陡谱,非热射电发射内星系团。

英文摘要:

Diffuse, non-thermal emission in galaxy clusters is increasingly being detected in low-frequency radio surveys and images. We present a new diffuse, steep-spectrum, non-thermal radio source within the cluster Abell 1127 found in survey data from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). We perform follow-up observations with the 'extended' configuration MWA Phase II with improved resolution to better resolve the source and measure its low-frequency spectral properties. We use archival Very Large Array S-band data to remove the discrete source contribution from the MWA data, and from a power law model fit we find a spectral index of $-1.83\pm0.29$ broadly consistent with relic-type sources. The source is revealed by the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) at 150 MHz to have an elongated morphology, with a projected linear size of 850 kpc as measured in the MWA data. Using Chandra observations we derive morphological estimators and confirm quantitatively that the cluster is in a disturbed dynamical state, consistent with the majority of phoenices and relics being hosted by merging clusters. We discuss the implications of relying on morphology and low-resolution imaging alone for the classification of such sources and highlight the usefulness of the MHz to GHz radio spectrum in classifying these types of emission. Finally, we discuss the benefits and limitations of using the MWA Phase II in conjunction with other instruments for detailed studies of diffuse, steep-spectrum, non-thermal radio emission within galaxy clusters.
