摘要:

英仙座星系团由85个朱雀点组成,沿8个方位角方向,以前的X射线研究显示,在维里半径(~r200)附近的西北(NW)投影温度分布特别急剧下降。为了进一步探索这个激波候选者,在英仙座星团西北边缘又获得了4个朱雀观测。这些更深层次的数据旨在提供光谱分析中系统不确定性的最佳控制。使用组合朱雀观测,我们仔细研究了这个有趣的区域,通过分析光谱的各种annuli和提取投影的热力学配置文件。我们发现,预计的温度分布图显示出在r200附近的突变,表明M = 1.9+-0.3的冲击。相应的不连续性也被发现在投影的排放量和密度分布在同一位置。激波锋面如此远离星系团中心的证据是前所未有的,并可能提供第一次深入了解大规模维里激波的性质,这些激波塑造了星系团的生长过程。

英文摘要:

Previous X-ray studies of the Perseus Cluster, consisting of 85 Suzaku pointings along eight azimuthal directions, revealed a particularly steep decrease in the projected temperature profile near the virial radius (~r200) towards the northwest (NW). To further explore this shock candidate, another 4 Suzaku observations on the NW edge of the Perseus Cluster have been obtained. These deeper data were designed to provide the best possible control of systematic uncertainties in the spectral analysis. Using the combined Suzaku observations, we have carefully investigated this interesting region by analyzing the spectra of various annuli and extracting projected thermodynamic profiles. We find that the projected temperature profile shows a break near r200, indicating a shock with M = 1.9+-0.3. Corresponding discontinuities are also found in the projected emission measure and the density profiles at the same location. This evidence of a shock front so far away from the cluster center is unprecedented, and may provide a first insight into the properties of large-scale virial shocks which shape the process of galaxy cluster growth.
