星系团的非热活动和粒子加速

Nonthermal Activity and Particle Acceleration in Clusters of Galaxies

Vahe' Petrosian

摘要:

星系团中非热活动的证据是由相对论电子的同步辐射的射电观测建立的,新的窗口(在EUV和硬X射线范围内)为其研究提供了更强大的工具。本文总结了硬X射线观测,特别是后发座的观测,并介绍了一个高红移星系团的新的RXTE观测结果。结果表明,这些辐射的最可能的发射机制是由负责无线电辐射的相同的电子的宇宙微波背景光子的逆康普顿散射。被认为是加速的电子的各种情况下,它表明,最有可能的模型是情节加速的冲击或湍流,可能引起的合并活动,注入到星系团间介质的星系或活动星系核的高能电子。

英文摘要:

Evidence for nonthermal activity in clusters of galaxies is well established from radio observations of synchrotron emission by relativistic electrons, and new windows (in EUV and Hard X-ray ranges) have provided more powerful tools for its investigation. The hard X-ray observations, notably from Coma, are summarized and results of a new RXTE observations of a high redshift cluster are presented. It is shown that the most likely emission mechanisms for these radiations is the inverse Compton scattering of the cosmic microwave background photons by the same electrons responsible for the radio radiation. Various scenarios for acceleration of the electrons are considered and it is shown that the most likely model is episodic acceleration by shocks or turbulence, presumably induced by merger activity, of high energy electrons injected into the intercluster medium by galaxies or active galactic nuclei.
