对星系团内介质（ICM）有效粘度的约束几乎完全来自成像观测：X射线面亮度涨落的功率谱，以及冷前沿处开尔文-亥姆霍兹卷的形态，两者均表明粘度低于各向同性的斯皮策（Spitzer）值。XRISM/Resolve开辟了一条互补的纯运动学路径，可通过滑动接触不连续面处形成的粘性剪切层厚度来推断粘度。我们将该方法应用于典型的A3667冷前沿，该界面属于经典瑞利（Rayleigh）问题，动量在时间T内扩散至深度d，由此得到运动学粘度ν≈d²/(4T)。XRISM速度图显示，冷前沿两侧的视线方向速度跳变为535 km/s，且该速度变化在前沿内侧宽100 kpc的区域内完成，该区域是唯一具有异常宽谱线的区域，因此d≤100 kpc。采用相互作用区域尺寸除以该速度得到的相互作用时间，我们得到冷前沿冷侧和热侧的动态粘度分别为5.2×10³ g/cm/s和3.3×10³ g/cm/s，对应斯皮策值的6.4倍和0.72倍。由于d受XRISM角分辨率限制，且粘度与d的平方成正比，因此这些值为上限。该运动学约束与成像结果一致且相互独立。
英文摘要
Constraints on the effective viscosity of the intracluster medium (ICM) come almost exclusively from imaging: the power spectrum of X-ray surface brightness fluctuations, and the morphology of Kelvin-Helmholtz rolls at cold fronts. Both indicate a viscosity below the isotropic Spitzer value. XRISM/Resolve opens a complementary, purely kinematic route, in which the viscosity is inferred from the thickness of the viscous shear layer that develops at a sliding contact discontinuity. We apply it to the prototypical cold front of A3667. The interface is the classical Rayleigh problem, in which momentum diffuses to a depth d in a time T, giving a kinematic viscosity ν~ d^2/(4T). The XRISM velocity map shows a line-of-sight velocity jump of 535 km/s across the front, completed within the 100 kpc-wide region immediately inside it, the only region with an anomalously broad line. Hence d ~< 100 kpc. Adopting interaction times set by the sizes of the interacting regions divided by this velocity, we obtain dynamic viscosities of 5.2 x 10^3 and 3.3 x 10^3 g/cm/s for the cool and the hot side of the front, or 6.4 and 0.72 times the Spitzer value. Because d is limited by the angular resolution of XRISM, and the viscosity scales as its square, these are upper limits. The kinematic constraint is consistent with, and independent of, the imaging results.
