摘要:

射电晕是位于部分星系团中心的同步辐射漫射源。研究具有充足的射电和X射线数据的大样本星系团对于调查射电晕的起源及其与星系团动力学和形成历史的联系是必要的。本文的目的是编制一个精心挑选的样本星系团与深射电观测无线电晕的属性进行无偏的统计研究。我们从PlanckSunyaev-Zel 'dovich星表中选取了75个M > = 6 e ~(14)Msun,z=0.08-0.33的星系团。没有合适的无线电数据的星系团是用巨型米波射电望远镜(GMRT)和/或Jansky甚大天线阵(JVLA)观测的,以完成关于可能存在漫射发射的信息。我们使用档案钱德拉X射线数据来获得有关星系团动力学状态的信息。这一观测活动导致检测到几个集群规模的扩散射电源和候选人,值得未来的后续观测。在这里,我们总结了它们的性质,并增加了我们新观察到的信息。对于我们没有检测到任何扩散发射的线索的集群,我们推导出新的上限,他们的扩散通量。我们已经建立了迄今为止最大的质量选择(> 80%完整的质量)样本的星系团与深射电观测。样本的统计分析,其中包括无线电晕和集群合并之间的联系,无线电功率-质量相关性,以及无线电晕的出现作为集群质量的函数,将在论文二中介绍。

英文摘要:

Radio halos are synchrotron diffuse sources at the centre of a fraction of galaxy clusters. The study of large samples of clusters with adequate radio and X-ray data is necessary to investigate the origin of radio halos and their connection with the cluster dynamics and formation history. The aim of this paper is to compile a well-selected sample of galaxy clusters with deep radio observations to perform an unbiased statistical study of the properties of radio halos. We selected 75 clusters with M > = 6e14 Msun at z=0.08-0.33 from the Planck Sunyaev-Zel'dovich catalogue. Clusters without suitable radio data were observed with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) and/or the Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) to complete the information about the possible presence of diffuse emission. We used archival Chandra X-ray data to derive information on the clusters' dynamical states. This observational campaign led to the detection of several cluster-scale diffuse radio sources and candidates that deserve future follow-up observations. Here we summarise their properties and add information resulting from our new observations. For the clusters where we did not detect any hint of diffuse emission, we derived new upper limits to their diffuse flux. We have built the largest mass-selected (> 80 per cent complete in mass) sample of galaxy clusters with deep radio observations available to date. The statistical analysis of the sample, which includes the connection between radio halos and cluster mergers, the radio power-mass correlation, and the occurrence of radio halos as a function of the cluster mass, will be presented in paper II.
