摘要:

本文研究了Abell 1644-South星系中心最亮的团星系(BCG)的环核多相气体性质。A1644-S是一个合并系统中的主星系团,其核心以X射线热气晃动而闻名。A1644-S尖锐的X射线轮廓意味着存在一个强烈冷却的气体核心。在这项研究中,我们分析了ALMA CO(1-0)数据,JVLA HI数据,和KaVA 22 GHz数据的中心区域的A1644-S探测的潜在来源的冷气体和它的作用(重新)供电的中央活动星系核(AGN)。我们发现CO团簇沿着X射线气体晃动呈弧形分布,这表明冷气体和热的团内介质(ICM)之间存在联系。HI和CN在活动星系核连续辐射的吸收中被探测到。在BCG的系统速度下观察到吸收下降,具有延长的红移尾部。根据HI、CN和CO气体的空间和光谱构型,推测冷气体螺旋进入BCG的核心,然后被馈送到中心活动星系核。事实上,我们的KaVA观测揭示了一个秒差距尺度的双极喷流,这意味着这个活动星系核最近可能已经(重新)提供了动力。结合这些,我们认为A1644-S中的一些冷气体可能是由ICM的冷却形成的,在冷核星系团的早期发展中触发了中央活动星系核的活动。

英文摘要:

We present the circumnuclear multi-phase gas properties of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the center of Abell 1644-South. A1644-S is the main cluster in a merging system, which is well known for X-ray hot gas sloshing in its core. The sharply peaked X-ray profile of A1644-S implies the presence of a strongly cooling gas core. In this study, we analyze ALMA CO (1-0) data, JVLA HI data, and KaVA 22 GHz data for the central region of A1644-S to probe the potential origin of the cool gas and its role in (re)powering the central active galactic nucleus (AGN). We find CO clumps distributed in an arc shape along the X-ray gas sloshing, which is suggestive of a connection between the cold gas and the hot intracluster medium (ICM). HI and CN are detected in absorption against the AGN continuum emission. The absorption dip is observed at the systemic velocity of the BCG with an extended, redshifted tail. Based on the spatial and spectral configurations of the HI, CN and CO gases, it is inferred that cool gas spirals into the core of the BCG, which is then fed to the central AGN. Indeed, our KaVA observation reveals a parsec-scale bipolar jet, implying that this AGN could have been (re)powered quite recently. Combining this, we suggest that some cold gas in A1644-S could have been formed from the cooling of the ICM, triggering the activity of the central AGN in the early development of a cool-core cluster.
