摘要:

来自活动星系核(AGN)的热量被认为是稳定冷核星团,限制恒星形成和冷却流。我们采用辐射磁流体动力学(MHD)模拟轻AGN喷流反馈不同的吸积模式(邦迪-霍伊尔-Lyttleton和冷吸积)在一个理想的英仙座星系团。独立的探测吸积模型,吸积效率,喷流密度和分辨率,集群自我调节与中央熵和冷却时间与观察到的冷核集群在这个非宇宙学的设置。我们发现,提高喷气效率导致更多的间歇性喷气功率和增强的恒星形成率。我们的基准低密度射流可以很容易地偏转轨道冷气体细丝,重新分配角动量,并导致更广泛的冷气体分布和各向同性气泡分布。与我们的基准低动量密度射流相比,高动量密度射流加热效率较低,并且能够形成垂直于中心受限射流的持久冷气盘。从我们的模拟测量腔光度一般反映冷却光度的团内介质(ICM),并对应于平均喷流功率,是相对不敏感的短时期的低光度喷注。在我们的MHD模拟低动量密度射流冷气结构一般表现出各种形态,从盘状非常扩展的非线性结构。特别是,磁场是至关重要的,以抑制形成不切实际的大量冷气盘之间的热,冷相位重新分配角动量,并通过促进形成细长的冷丝,由磁压力的支持。

英文摘要:

Heating from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is thought to stabilize cool-core clusters, limiting star formation and cooling flows. We employ radiative magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to model light AGN jet feedback with different accretion modes (Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton and cold accretion) in an idealised Perseus-like cluster. Independent of the probed accretion model, accretion efficiency, jet density and resolution, the cluster self-regulates with central entropies and cooling times consistent with observed cool-core clusters in this non-cosmological setting. We find that increased jet efficiencies lead to more intermittent jet powers and enhanced star formation rates. Our fiducial low-density jets can easily be deflected by orbiting cold gaseous filaments, which redistributes angular momentum and leads to more extended cold gas distributions and isotropic bubble distributions. In comparison to our fiducial low momentum-density jets, high momentum-density jets heat less efficiently and enable the formation of a persistent cold-gas disc perpendicular to the jets that is centrally confined. Cavity luminosities measured from our simulations generally reflect the cooling luminosities of the intracluster medium (ICM) and correspond to averaged jet powers that are relatively insensitive to short periods of low-luminosity jet injection. Cold gas structures in our MHD simulations with low momentum-density jets generally show a variety of morphologies ranging from discy to very extended filamentary structures. In particular, magnetic fields are crucial to inhibit the formation of unrealistically massive cold gas discs by redistributing angular momentum between the hot and cold phases and by fostering the formation of elongated cold filaments that are supported by magnetic pressure.
