摘要:

我们介绍钱德拉观测RXJ 1347.5 -1145,最X射线明亮的星系团已知的。我们报告发现了一个相对较热、明亮的X射线发射区,位于主X射线峰东南约20弧秒处,与小松等人(2001)报告的Sunyaev-Zeldovich效应增强区一致。我们认为,这一地区包含冲击气体造成最近的子集群合并事件。不包括东南象限的数据,集群看起来相对宽松。X射线气体温度在中心25 h_50^{-1} kpc半径范围内从kT~6 keV上升到0.1-0.5 h_50^{-1} Mpc之间的平均值~16 keV。在流体静力平衡的假设下确定的团簇弛豫区的质量分布可以用Navarro,Frenk & White(1997)模型参数化,其尺度半径r_s~ 0. 4 h_50^{-1} Mpc,浓度参数c~6。最佳拟合的钱德拉质量模型与弱引力透镜研究的独立测量结果吻合得很好。星团中心区域的强透镜数据也可以通过引入以第二亮星系为中心的额外质量团来解释。我们认为,这个星系很可能是最近合并的子星系团的主导星系。

英文摘要:

We present Chandra observations of RXJ1347.5-1145, the most X-ray luminous cluster of galaxies known. We report the discovery of a region of relatively hot, bright X-ray emission, located approximately 20 arcsec to the southeast of the main X-ray peak, at a position consistent with the region of enhanced Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect reported by Komatsu et al. (2001). We suggest that this region contains shocked gas resulting from a recent subcluster merger event. Excluding the data for the southeast quadrant, the cluster appears relatively relaxed. The X-ray gas temperature rises from kT~6 keV within the central 25 h_50^{-1} kpc radius to a mean value of ~16 keV between 0.1-0.5 h_50^{-1} Mpc. The mass profile for the relaxed regions of the cluster, determined under the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium, can be parameterized by a Navarro, Frenk & White (1997) model with a scale radius r_s~0.4 h_50^{-1} Mpc and a concentration parameter c~6. The best-fit Chandra mass model is in good agreement with independent measurements from weak gravitational lensing studies. Strong lensing data for the central regions of the cluster can be also explained by the introduction of an additional mass clump centred on the second brightest galaxy. We argue that this galaxy is likely to have been the dominant galaxy of the recently merged subcluster.
