摘要:

我们讨论树+SPH模拟的星系团和集团,旨在研究冷却和非引力加热的可观察的ICM属性的效果。我们在高分辨率下模拟了四个晕,质量范围为(0.2-4)10^{14}M_sol。我们讨论了使用不同的SPH实现的影响,并表明,高分辨率是强制性的正确遵循ICM的冷却模式。我们所有的加热方案,正确地再现了X射线标度性质的集群和集团没有成功地减少崩溃的气体的分数低于百分之二十(30)的水平在集群(集团)规模。最后,冷却团簇区域中的气体压缩会导致温度升高和温度分布变陡,而与非重力加热过程的存在无关。这与最近观测到的弛豫星系团中心气体温度降低的证据不一致。如果这些差异持续存在,即使是更精细的能量反馈模型,它们可能表明,一些基本的物理过程仍然是在流体动力学模拟失踪。

英文摘要:

We discuss Tree+SPH simulations of galaxy clusters and groups, aimed at studying the effect of cooling and non-gravitational heating on observable properties of the ICM. We simulate at high resolution four halos,with masses in the range (0.2-4)10^{14}M_sol. We discuss the effects of using different SPH implementations and show that high resolution is mandatory to correctly follow the cooling pattern of the ICM. All of our heating schemes which correctly reproduce the X-ray scaling properties of clusters and groups do not succeed in reducing the fraction of collapsed gas below a level of 20 (30) per cent at the cluster (group) scale. Finally, gas compression in cooling cluster regions causes an increase of the temperature and a steepening of the temperature profiles, independent of the presence of non-gravitational heating processes. This is inconsistent with recent observational evidence for a decrease of gas temperature towards the center of relaxed clusters. Provided these discrepancies persist even for a more refined modeling of energy feedback, they may indicate that some basic physical process is still missing in hydrodynamical simulations.
