AI总结:

基于TNG-Cluster模拟分析约9万颗卫星星系,发现大质量卫星星系普遍保留热星系周介质(CGM),其软X射线发射显著高于背景,为星团外围X射线发射贡献约10%,揭示了星团-卫星星系相互作用动力学。

摘要:

宇宙中最巨大的星系团拥有数百颗大质量卫星星系($\mstar\sim10^{10-12.5} msun$),但目前尚不清楚这些卫星星系是否能保留其自身的气体晕。我们分析了来自新的TNG-Cluster宇宙学磁流体动力学星系团模拟套件中,$z=0$时352个质量为$\mvir\sim10^{14.3-15.4} msun$的星系团周围约90,000颗恒星质量为$\sim10^{9-12.5} msun$的卫星星系的演化。每个宿主的卫星星系数量随宿主质量增加而增加,且质量-丰度关系与观测广泛一致。质量为$\mvirhost\sim10^{14.5} (10^{15}) msun$的晕如今拥有约100(300)颗卫星星系。只有少数卫星星系保留了一些气体(热或冷),且该比例随恒星质量增加而上升。低质量卫星星系($\sim10^{9-10} msun$)更可能保留部分冷星际介质,这与冲压剥离优先移除热延展气体相符。在更高恒星质量($\sim10^{10.5-12.5} msun$)下,富含气体的卫星星系比例增至1,且几乎所有卫星星系都保留了部分热的、空间延展的星系周介质(CGM),尽管其超大质量黑洞存在喷射活动。根据TNG-Cluster,这些含气体卫星星系的CGM可在软X射线发射(0.5-2.0 keV)中被观测到,其亮度比局部背景亮约10倍以上。这种卫星星系周围的X射线表面亮度超出延伸至约30-100 kpc,且在具有更高恒星质量和更大宿主中心距离的星系中最强。星团外围(约0.75-1.5$\rvir$)约10%的软X射线发射源自卫星星系。成员星系的CGM反映了星团-卫星星系相互作用的动力学,并对观测推断的星系团内介质性质有所贡献。

英文摘要:

The most massive galaxy clusters in the Universe host hundreds of massive satellite galaxies~$\mstar\sim10^{10-12.5} msun$, but it is unclear if these satellites are able to retain their own gaseous halos. We analyze the evolution of $\approx90,000$ satellites of stellar mass $\sim10^{9-12.5} msun$ around 352 galaxy clusters of mass $\mvir\sim10^{14.3-15.4} msun$ at $z=0$ from the new TNG-Cluster suite of cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical galaxy cluster simulations. The number of massive satellites per host increases with host mass, and the mass--richness relation broadly agrees with observations. A halo of mass $\mvirhost\sim10^{14.5} (10^{15}) msun$ hosts $\sim100 (300)$ satellites today. Only a minority of satellites retain some gas, hot or cold, and this fraction increases with stellar mass. Lower-mass satellites $\sim10^{9-10} msun$ are more likely to retain part of their cold interstellar medium, consistent with ram pressure preferentially removing hot extended gas first. At higher stellar masses $\sim10^{10.5-12.5} msun$, the fraction of gas-rich satellites increases to unity, and nearly all satellites retain a portion of their hot, spatially extended circumgalactic medium (CGM), despite the ejective activity of their supermassive black holes. According to TNG-Cluster, the CGM of these gaseous satellites can be seen in soft X-ray emission (0.5-2.0 keV) that is $\gtrsim10$~times brighter than the local background. This X-ray surface brightness excess around satellites extends to $\approx30-100$ kpc, and is strongest for galaxies with higher stellar masses and larger host-centric distances. Approximately $10$~percent of the soft X-ray emission in cluster outskirts $\approx0.75-1.5\rvir$ originates from satellites. The CGM of member galaxies reflects the dynamics of cluster-satellite interactions and contributes to the observationally inferred properties of the intracluster medium.
